What is better and more pleasing colors to your photography mean? That’s the question that the Colorchecker Passport poses. As even similar model cameras interprets colors differently due to the differences in sensor, color calibration for the camera goes a long way in giving you better colors.

Many photographers has given the ColorChecker Passport a permanent place in their bags, as an essential everyday tool to create and print proper photographs.

Here are some of their comments:

“In summary, I now regard the xrite Colorchecker Passport as a must-have – a standard part of my field kit. It’s a simple as that.” Luminous Landscape, Nov 2009

“So it’s a useful bit of kit and solidly built – it has already found it’s way into my camera bag” Northlight Images

“As a suitably impressed X-Rite user, the new X-Rite ColorChecker Passport looks like a great tool for easy colour correction with Lightroom. ColorChecker Passport is designed as a ‘capture to edit’ color solution, using 3 colour target cards (Color Checker, Creative Enhancement Card and Gray Card)” Lightroom-news.com

“In conclusion I will be buying this product. The build and size of the case is great for leaving in your camera bag for every shoot” Sean McCormack, Pixiq.com, Dec 2009

“I found the results to be amazing and so much better than using the standard camera raw. In the image above, I did no clean up, no adjustments, no modifications. The only difference is using the standard Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) vs. ColorChecker Passport. I could tell immediately that the books in red had an orange cast to them in ACR, whereas in using the ColorChecker Passport, they are a crisp red on a calibrated monitor.

To me, the ColorChecker Passport is a must have product. It comes in a hard-shell case that will last forever (although it is recommended that you purchase a new one every two years due to fading and the environment). It is sturdy and stands on its own when there is no one to hold it, and it is small enough to fit into a pocket or your camera bag and can go everywhere with you. If you want a fast, inexpensive way to make sure that the color you shoot shows up on your screen, then I very highly recommend ColorChecker Passport from X-Rite.” Mike Testi, Blogcritics.com

“First off, X-Rite’s Passport is a hit with me, not so much for the price tag as much as I love the case” Realworkflow.com
