How to use the X-Rite Colorchecker Passport 2 with Fujifilm 

Never would have thought a simple color palette could do that much for a picture

Just about to dump my Fujifilm xt-3 because I never find the colors pleasing and spend tons of time trying to correct them to something more natural. I'll have to give this method a try. Thanks

thank you !

Hello Great video, explanation in context. One (long) question. On your set you're using a additional godox lighting. How does affect (or not) the color correction. On one hand you have the white balance, I have seen videos where the color temperature of the light is adjusted with gels. But on the other hand I expect you have the forest impact such as a greener component in the light. And finally you have the sensor color capture that may introduce inaccuracies. How do you use a color checker with these 3 elements : - the multi light setup - the color composition of each lightning - the camera sensor capture. In a studio I would expect the first two elements to be consistent from one equipment to the next, so the colorchecker is clearly helping to get consistency and accuracy on the last element ( the sensor). I am an engineer and amateur photographer, just learning about color checkers, trying to decide if I invest in one. I am not a studio photographer, more looking into outdoor photography.

When shooting outside like you did, where conditions could change, how come using the checker once at the beginning ensures correct white balance and colors? Let's say if all of a sudden sun would come out, wouldn't you have to re-use the checker?

I feel this passport color checker would be perfect when you are in a high school gymnasium, and the lights are blue and the walls of they gym are orange or other difficult color to work with. It throws off the colors for every photo.

Hey @cris do you think there is a difference between v1 and c2 of the passport? I can buy v1 relatively cheap

Unfortunately for some reason the calibrite color checker passport doesn’t work with Fujifilm Provia profile, I noticed it only works with the other film simulations like classic chrome etc, at least in capture one

Does using an X-Rite Colorchecker override Fujifilm's film simulations, or do the selected simulation affect the final result? Theoretically if you take photos using different film simulations, but calibrate each with the Colorchecker, does that mean that all the photos are merged to the same colors -- or can you see differences in colors due to the film simulation?

do you have to make a new color profile for every shoot?

Does anyone have experience with Capture One instead of Lightroom?

Calibrated it looks like a Sony ;-)
