Description

Helping to achieve accurate colour and exposure in an especially compact package, the X-Rite ColourChecker Passport Photo 2 is a portable and versatile solution to ensure rendering accuracy from the time of capture. Combining four separate targets in a pocket-sized enclosure, the Passport Photo 2 is also characterised by the updated, v1.2 Camera Calibration software for making DNG and ICC camera profiles as well as a dedicated Adobe Photoshop Lightroom plug-in for making custom post-production profiles.

Key Features:

Gray Balance Target

An 18% middle gray target has been added to the Passport's design, and this neutral de facto standard target is perfect for ensuring accurate exposures when using reflective light metres as well as for removing unwanted colour casts during post-production.

White Balance Target

Designed to be spectrally neutral and reflect light evenly across the visible spectrum, this white target serves as a neutral reference point to accurately compensate for different lighting conditions. Compared to other seemingly plain, white objects, the spectral response of this target ensures greater accuracy and consistency for creating white balance settings while shooting.

Classic Target

A compact version of the industry standard ColorChecker Classic target, this 24-patch grid is used to ensure accurate colour rendering from capture to post-production. It is used in conjunction with calibration software to create custom profiles and allows you to compare camera response to various lighting conditions. The 24 patches represent common colours of natural objects, including sky blue, skin tones, and green foliage, and each patch has been individually coloured to produce a solid tone of pure, flat, and rich colour with natural reflectivity.

In addition to Colour Calibration v1.2 software, this target is also supported by Hasselblad Phocus, Black Magic DaVinci Resolve, and 3D LUT Creator software.

Creative Enhancement Target

Designed for creative colour applications, this target includes four rows of colour patches for adding repeatable colour effects in post-production by selecting the patch with an eyedropper tool. There are two rows of warming and cooling patches in the middle of the target for adding consistent colour tone effects to images. The bottom row consists of clipping patches for making black and white point adjustments, and these patches are separated into light and dark groups with 1/3-stop differences between them, with the exception of the last patch which has a 1/10-stop difference and results in a 32:1 or 5-stop total dynamic range. The top row includes eight hue, saturation, and lightness spectrum patches for ensuring colour accuracy across all hues to better arses and edit for unwanted colour shift.

Colour Calibration Software

Updated to version 1.2, the available Colour Calibration software works in conjunction with the Passport Photo 2 to help create custom colour profiles and achieve accurate colours during post-production. This revised version offers the ability to create both DNG and ICC camera profiles using the ColorChecker Classic target. The software automatically recognises the target for straightforward use and, after creating colour profiles for different lighting conditions, this process helps to minimise colour differences between shoots, better adapt for mixed lighting conditions, and match colour balance from scene to scene.

For even greater flexibility, dual-illuminant DNG profiles can be created, which combine images taken under two different light sources in order to create a single profile that can be applied to an even wider variety of lighting conditions. These profiles can be created using any two of 21 supported illuminants in order to offer greater freedom to shoot between various lighting conditions without having to switch profiles.

Additionally, beyond the dedicated Colour Calibration software, an Adobe Photoshop Lightroom plug-in is also available for creating custom camera profiles directly in Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Classic CC.

Passport Case

One of the distinguishing features of the Passport Photo 2 is, of course, its pocketable passport-style case. Compared to other oversized targets, which tend to be fragile or susceptible to damage, the compact form factor of the Passport along with the hard-plastic and travel-sized case, makes it easy to carry at all times. The case is also self-standing for propping up the targets in the scene. Additionally, a lanyard is included to keep the targets handy while on a shoot.
