For that premium price they want you to pay, they really could have stepped up the game. The build quality is something I'd expect from a cheap China knockoff, more color patches would not hurt, a software solution that doesn't mess up your LR profile folder either. And yeah splitting photo and video is stretching it way too much.

The comment on the clickety hinge surprised me. I always assumed that the hinge has built in click-stops so that you can sit it up on a table top at various angles (for when you don't have a helper or stand to hold it). Finally, these color patches fade over time, so if yours is over two years old and it has seen significant use, then version 2 or 1, it's time for an upgrade.

Thanks for the detailed and honest review. Ordered a CCP2 which is coming tomorrow (I want it for OCF portraits and Flambient Real Estate / Architecture). Question: Since you basically need a new profile for every lighting combination / shoot, how are you managing those. Do you just start building up a list of hundreds of x-rite profiles in the profile browser? Won't it break your edit if you delete the profile?
@Sondercreative
8 ай бұрын
It really depends. I generally produce one profile per shoot unless the lighting conditions are drastically different, or if I'm using a different lens. The good thing is that individual profiles only apply against images with the same lensand camera combination so it's easier to manage. I don't think the image edit breaks if you delete a profile. IUt just goes back to a default profile or you need to change the profile when you go back to the image.

How inaccurate would a color correction be if you just based your reds with a digital red, aka a red that isn't affected by the light in the scene? I mean sure, for example the brighter the light is the lighter the red will be on the color checker. But what if you use the brightnesslevel of the scene and compare it to the red of the color checker. Then adapt the brightnesslevel numbers to the digital red color. How big of a difference would that create? And I am also wonder whether or not a specific red matter unless its a specific red produced by a product brand. But hey even then. Is the brand in question aware of exacly how red their product are in all kind of lighting? If they dont, they wont know how exact that red is in relation to the lightsource. Many product photographs and interior photographs or whatever even change the colors to "improve" their colors by increasing or decreasing the levels of the colors. So of often exactly do you really need a color checker? I am wondering because I am new to this.
@Sondercreative

Great questions. This is basically why you should use a colour checker passport in the field while you're shooting. That way the software can accomodate the different lighting and scenario. If the passport is shot in the same scene then the red on the passport will be affected by the environment too. This is explains why if you reuse a profile from a different environement the results may look a little odd.

I would personally recommend you create individual profiles for the camera and lens combinations. I don't think you can use X-rite profiles from one camera to another. However, if you're using Capture one and you create an ICC profile then you can absolutely use them from one camera to another. ICC profiles are best created using the larger and more expensive ColourChecker Digital SG

Grey patches are generally used for exposure balance. Theres a half stop difference between a 12% grey and 18% grey. Exposure will of course impact colours so having these two patches helps you managed the exposure to prevent issues. Grey cards are used in the same way, you use it to calibrate exposure of any given scene. Personally, I think grey cards are a little dated and exposure doesnt need to follow what a grey card says. However they can be useful in certain controlled shooting environments. I didn’t fully understand what you meant with your first question can you Please explain.

Generally depends on how much you use it but I do think you should replace it once every few years. 2 years seems a bit short to me. To me this is if you’re using it every day. I would say 4 - 6 years is a better suggestion but once again, based on usage.

Real talk - (coming from another life where I managed the color standards for Apple, Ford, Toyota, Dell etc) the colors WILL shift over time. Keep them out of the sun and if possible store them in the freezer. Probably 2 years is overkill but every 5 - 10 years is probably reasonable.

I finally figured out how to get a profile out of Lumariver for use in Capture One.. I also finally tried the X-Rite camera calibration software. I thought the Lumariver profile looked better. When I applied it to some photos, I was shocked at how dark they were. I had to brighten at least a full stop. Something tells me I’m doing something wrong still. A follow-up video might be useful with explanations of how to use the profile. For example, does it make sense to used the C1 Fuji film simulation curves with the profile created by either Lumariver or X-Rite? BTW, if it wasn’t for your videos I’d be lost. The Lumariver documentation is super confusing.

Hi! Thank you for making such detailed and educational videos. I use Color Checker Passport mainly for architecture shots as you said in the video. I find it difficult to know where to place it in the room with mixed artificial and natural lighting and get consistent looking results. In the end, I usually just use profile made for daylight and adjust WB and the tone of the pictures just by the feel. Could you explain more in detail how to use it correctly in multi-room, mixed light situations?
@Sondercreative
5 жыл бұрын
The issue with mixed lighting situations is that you don't want the profile to be created with one light being the main. The way I do it is to take the shot that I want first and then I can decide where to put the passport. Depending on the actual image Ill place it where I think it's going to offer the best balance between the lighting. Sometimes I may not want the profile to be affected by certain light sources so I'll actually switch them off. There are lots of things you can do but what I highly recommend above all is not to use lightroom for the profile. I made a video earlier where I demonstrate how to use the passport in lightroom using Lumariver, Even now that's still the best method to create a profile.
@shouryaray

This is where a "dual luminant" (google please) profile comes in handy. Take one reference shot of the passport in window light only (overhead lights turned off) and then another shot of the passport in overhead light only (window blinds pulled down). Then use the ColorChecker software to combine both images to create a dual luminant profile for that room. Now, you can open the blinds and turn on the overhead lights and everything should work.
