X-Rite ColorChecker MINI Classic

The X-Rite ColorChecker Classic Mini has been specifically designed to help photographers specialising in capturing fine art and heritage artwork. Measuring 6.3cm x 10.6cm, the ColorChecker Classic Mini offers users a flexible solution for situations where a more lightweight colour chart is required. When dealing with valuable and often delicate artwork, the ColorChecker Classic Mini can be positioned against the delicate surface of the painting whilst it is being photographed.

The 2.5 x 4" checkerboard is 1/8 the size of the Classic and contains an array of 24 scientifically prepared colored squares in a wide range of colors. Many of these squares represent natural objects of special interest such as human skin, foliage, and blue sky and reflects light just like its real-world counterpart. Since they exemplify the color of their counterparts and reflect light the same wayin all parts of the visible spectrum, the squares will match the colors of representative samples of natural objects under any illumination, and with any color reproduction process. Each solid patch is formulated individually to produce a pure, flat, rich color.

The ColorChecker Classic can be used for a variety of applications, including:

• Digital Photography: Create custom camera profiles (DNG and ICC), correct neutral balance and exposure, and provide a standard for color corrections
• Film Photography: Visual reference for exposure, contrast and color
• Film making: Set exposure and color in camera; match multiple cameras, color grade log and raw footage, and fine-tune color balance in post
• Graphic Arts: Check any printing or proofing process
