This can be done under any lighting conditions, and to be truly accurate about it, as you change environments you should shoot another calibration photo.I have just ordered a K-1 II and hope to receive it in a week or so. Ideally you've photographed this in the same environment, under the same lighting, with the same lens (and it has to be the same camera or this is pointless) as the photos you want to attach a profile to. The actual step one is to photograph the ColorChecker in the first place. Need a ColorChecker Passport (Photo Edition)? Get yours here! Step 1 - Export the RAW photo from Lightroom But for now, it requires several extra steps. Taking a photograph of a known-accurate color chip chart, in this case the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport, then letting software automatically build a profile to shift the colors your camera captured to the colors that the chip chart is known to be, creates an accurate representation of that product.Ĭreating the profile in Lightroom used to be a one-click process. This is not important to many photographers, but if color accuracy is critical to your workflow (for example in product photography, you usually need the product you're shooting to be accurately represented on screen and in print), then this process is super important.
If you're wondering what this is all about in the first place, the purpose of this exercise is to normalize the colors in an image so they all match an accurate standard. Import that profile into Lightroom and apply it to your photos.Open that DNG in the ColorChecker Camera Calibration app and save the resulting profile.Convert that RAW file to DNG using the Adobe DNG Converter.Export a RAW photo of the ColorChecker from Lightroom.Here's the short version of what you have to do. It does take a few steps, but they're easy enough to complete! tl dr If you're using Lightroom CC (actually… as of last week it's now called just “Lightroom”, but it was called “Lightroom CC”, to separate it from “Lightroom Classic”, which at one point itself was called “Lightroom CC”, but before that it was just called “Lightroom”… um…) and you used to create custom color profiles with the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport using the super-convenient plugin for Lightroom Classic, then you know that since Lightroom still doesn't support plug-ins, so that workflow still isn’t there.įortunately, there's a workaround.
