nayuki 2 hours ago I didn't learn much from reading this article. Questions linger in my mind, for example: What are the CIE XYZ coordinates of each colored square? What is the spectral distribution of each square? How were the colors chosen? eviks 1 hour ago These aren't appropriate questions for the birthday party jey 1 hour ago You sound like you actually want to just generate them yourself using ArgyllCMS `targen` and `printtarg`. rustcleaner 1 hour ago I don't know about him but yes yes I do and you should want to, too! :^) jey 1 hour ago Ok great, now I'm in the market for a $20k Barbieri LFP auto-spectrophotometer. Thanks. willtemperley 1 hour ago The Wikipedia article is far more informative, though I'm uncertain if read the full dpreview article due to ad-induced nausea.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ColorChecker

isomorphic 2 hours ago These are great, even for manually-adjusted color workflows.Fun fact, though: You have to replace them every couple of years (or sooner) because no pigment/dye is stable, especially if exposed to bright light.Having a test shot with one of these in it saves you untold amounts of pain later. Wistar 2 hours ago Many of them, especially the smaller hard-case versions, have a space to write date of first-use.
