Der Tim Kelly. I have watched this video several times, and it is just excellent. Your explanations are very well given, and the method here is clearly described. I am using the X-Rite ColorChecker myself, but I do have a white balance issue, that I cannot understand. When in woodlands I ofte use it, because the Colors here can trick my EOS R5, but very often when making the color profile and correcting the WB i Camera Raw, I end up with much too warm pictures - maybe a red cast. This should not be, as I am photographing the X-Rite excact in the spot, where my object is. I would be more than happy to get a hint here, because this is quite the opposite of the purpose! Thanks for your videos - they are high class! Kind Regards from Jan, Denmark
On both test shoots, (inside studio and outside on the porch) you didn't say what your white balance setting was in camera?? I assume auto WB, but not quite sure in order for the Xrite to work properly.
thank you! I am bound and determined to learn everything in the video, I am new to light room and I just order the color grading kit. Do you offer a one on one Cours? If so I need to get this going. if not I will keep watching until I understand
Thanks for watching! There are many photo topics I don't teach with one of them being LR. I hope you find lots of other videos here to learn from. Thanks for watching.
Bit late to this thread. But wondering if we produced a profile with a Sony and a Canon at a shoot, while the profiles would be different, would we reasonably expect the results to be similar in colour. Therefore if we we produced a profile with a Sony and a Canon at a shoot and scoot wedding, where we couldn't continually picture the colour checker, would the results remain similar. I appreciate that neither would be likely to be correct over the various light sources that we would would encounter but more or less the same colours would help.
Certainly a color checker is a great tool to use, and it works for any camera. The zebra (white/gray/ black) is great to have on it's own for click white balancing. Custom profile s won't do much unless you are shooting raw and applying them prior to processing. If it's a quick job where you're handing over the files, auto color balance on modern cameras is very good.
I did see one reference to Westcott making it, but all the rest just say PhotoVision. Maybe they had a partnership at one time. It is not on their website now, but Amazon sells them as does many other stores and they all say Photovision.
Hey Tim great video, I have been using this system for years too with great results. Could you clarify what “in camera white balance” setting you were using to make your color checker test images to start off with? Or shooting any raw preset would not matter?
Tim. This is a great video as all your videos are and very informative. I have luminar 4 instead of camera raw. Do you know or does anyone use this color checker with it's software with luminar 4?
The color checker or passport is standalone n many ways. It produces a profile. I can't image any photo software that cannot accept a custom profile. In a simple form - including a color checker in your shots gives you some click balance point. Thanks for watching.
Tim, I’m a fan for years, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Can you please advise what software you use to calibrate your monitors? Would also be nice to see your workflow using capture one. Thanks again
I start with a camera default color balance for flash (5500), or manually but in a color temp the a white balace indicates. The color checker (Passport) works with it's provided software from XRite and produces a profile I can use in Adobe Camera Raw. I'm sure Capture One or others can use it as well. Thanks for watching.
Tim, do you think people today appreciate photography? Doing all the right things like the tip in this video, lighting and so forth? Seems like people do not care anymore.
In Fashion , wearing photography in a studio, almost all the time in JPEG With Sony a7r3, Canon 1DX m3 I have tried x-rite color checker , another company product for over 2 years, Even they work perfectly with how I say it, the direct-degree colors as The reds , blues, greens, oranges ,black, whites, yellows But there was 5 or 6 colors with those degrees of a color mix Like a certain shade of rose, purple, ,, Those color checkers never nailed them right in any way!! I needed to grade manually in photoshop till I get that color perfectly I had to devide my work into 2 categories One group that I can sync with the color profile with color checker , Second group that I do it manually I have always wondered if there is a way to do those colors with color checker Or no, there's no way since I'm shooting in JPEG format
Ahhhh! The way he touches the surfaces of the color checker and grey cards!
That's just careless. It really detracts from anything valuable he might have to say. I had to stop watching this.
Estimado Tim gracias por todos estos maravillosos e ilustrativos tutoriales.

Great video ! Thanks
thank you sir. great video.
You are welcome
Tim Kelly, THANK YOU for these videos. You truly are a master and I mean that.
Photography today is full crap photography.
A small percentage really get it. Because many people think THEY CAN DO IT.
You have to proceed knowing that.
On both test shoots, (inside studio and outside on the porch) you didn't say what your white balance setting was in camera?? I assume auto WB, but not quite sure in order for the Xrite to work properly.
When outside of our highly controlled studio, we shoot a COLORCHECKER and create a custom profile for those images.
thanks
Hello Tim and thanks however I need lots of help with this one

Where can I find the Colorchecker Dual Illuminant DNG software?
There are always updates and new versions, but the Gretag color checker and PASSPORT Profiling is now, I believe, from XRite.
Do I need a perfect exposure to work with the passport color checker?
A good exposure is recommended for a perfect profile.

Tim, That was Ed Pierce with Photo Vision that made the pop up 3 tone target.
Yes! That's right. Westcott?
Not Westcott, PhotoVision

Still using a Spyder 4 pro _ soon to upgrade,
Hi.. what do you use as the white balance setting on camera? Auto? Daylight? Flash? Or do you set in kelvin?
By the way you should never touch the actual colours on the checker; the oils from your hands eventually start to affect the way it looks
True.
Hi. how about using in Lightroom instead of photoshop raw? thanks
Afraid I wouldn't know. I don't use LR much, I use Capture 1. This lesson was how Clay does his thing.
Thanks for watching!
Colour checker work in Lightroom !
Greetings, I should upload a video of a family photoshoot, I would like to know how it illuminates groups. Thank you.
Try this video for location family. ua-cam.com/video/nAe1fDZ9HhI/v-deo.html In the studio, try: Families LIVE in our full length DVDs
@@TimKellysMasterPhotoTechniques thank you so much master Tim.
Thank you 😊 😅✝️
WHY DO YOU KEEP TOUCHING THE COLORS?????
what is youse frist time camera white balance after colour cekar card sir

In Fashion , wearing photography in a studio, almost all the time in JPEG
With Sony a7r3, Canon 1DX m3
I have tried x-rite color checker , another company product for over 2 years,
Even they work perfectly with how I say it, the direct-degree colors as
The reds , blues, greens, oranges ,black, whites, yellows
But there was 5 or 6 colors with those degrees of a color mix
Like a certain shade of rose, purple, ,,
Those color checkers never nailed them right in any way!!
I needed to grade manually in photoshop till I get that color perfectly
I had to devide my work into 2 categories
One group that I can sync with the color profile with color checker ,
Second group that I do it manually
I have always wondered if there is a way to do those colors with color checker
Or no, there's no way since I'm shooting in JPEG format
No wonder that colorchecher doesn't work with 8 bits of information from jpeg.
Why shoot in jpeg when color precision is important?
Thanks sir i love ur teachings much my I chat you personally on Facebook or waspp
