Now I know how those things work. A nice compliment to the Spyder monitor calibrator.
hey Vanessa a complicated subject broken down into easy digestable steps. You've earned yourself a Subscriber from the UK Thank You.
Thank you!
I'm here to learn something new...thanks for always sharing great tips and tutorials with us...love ur work
You are so welcome :-)
I just get the spydercheck 24. This is the video I needed (yes sometime I can be lazy 😅) . Thanks.
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the amazing video, you have made it simple and easy to understand. I have just followed your video and I am blown away at my image and how much time this will save and provding consistant results to my clients. You are a legend!
Thanks so much! Happy you like ☺️
Shooting in my neck of the woods! Freehold, NJ with our favorite Model Julianna! Thank you for the lesson!
Thank you for showing us the process!
You are so welcome!
Patty Mattes i agree, the post processing portion is excellent. Vanessa’s videos are always thorough.
That's the most concise and succinct tutorial I've watched so far but. I'm using PS CS6 and am at a loss as to how to save configure ColorCheckr capture to save it as a usable preset. Thanks again.
Thanks for the FREE guide. It helps! Downloaded it.
Happy to hear it!
Another good tip. I use the X-Rite Color Checker passport 2. Its really easy to carry around. Just never touch the inside color pallets.
So true
Love the video Vanessa. So helpful. 👍🏻💜
Feliz cumpleaños Vanessa, enjoy an infamously fun new lap around the sun y un fuerte abrazo
Great knowledge you have shared vanessa, that's why love you always.
I have used this and it's great!! Thanks amazing vid!😍💓you have my heart!
Purchased this today, can't wait to step up my rendering game with this and have it in Unity
Well demonstrated VJ. Rule No 1 don't piss off the client.
Asking the bride "hold ma spydercheckr like hello, ya want your photos looking dope"!!! lol ya better!
lol
Thank you. At last that thing makes sense!
Yay!!!
I got one. I wish it worked with Lightroom on the iPad though. It’s a Lightroom Classic only product.
very useful !
Glad it was helpful!
How does it compare to X-Rite ColorChecker Passport Photo? Mahalo
This was great, very helpful. Thank you!
My pleasure!
Can you show me how to do it in capture one?
Thanks,
Just saved this video, really interesting information, now I really need to order one for myself.
Lmk how it goes!
They could have had the white balance and color swatches on th same page, or am i missing something.
Thanks for the info!!!
Vanessa, Awesome X-Rite ColorChecker Classic MEGA' Cheers.
I’d like to see the SpyderCheckr Software (that came with my SpyderCheckr 24) be available for use with other editing programs like GIMP, RawTherapee, Darktable (which still does not recognize my Z6II) or Nikon’s NX Studio where I use Nikon’s NEF RAW and don’t need to convert to Adobe RAW (or pay further fees for using Adobe’s software). I don’t sell my photos but I display them in my home and give them as gifts. I plan to buy the SpyderPrint system to profile some papers I’d like to use since I’m limited to Canson, Epson and a brand I no nothing about since they offer profiles for my printer. Canson and Epson may offer rolls but I am unaware and I’d like to do some stitched wide shots but know what happens, with my printer, without the correct profile. Hence, color control from camera to printer is what I want!
Hi Vanessa. my workflow is more in PS. Am sure the colour profiles would load in ACR as well. Am talking about opening Raw file in ACR at the begining and not as Filter later. if you can confirm please. Thanks.
I have the SpyderCheckr. Its colors are not accurate. The problem is that it makes presets and not profiles. I did a test where I sent an image to the Datacolor software using the Adobe Standard profile and sent the same image with the Camera Faithful profile. The resulting presets gave me different hues when, theoretically, they should have adjusted to the same hue in relation to the camera profile I used. The X-rite Color Checker makes actual camera profiles.
I can’t say I’ve compared the two 🤷🏻♀️ thanks for the input though!!
Not sure if you’d read the manual, but I believe the proper workflow does go like this:
1. Adjust exposure so E2 value is ~70 to 80% white.. not the 90% that you'd shown..
2. Use Eyedropper on E2 to get the WB right.
3. Go ahead and adjust for the White and Black. :)
I did read the manual, and followed it, and data color saw this video and approved it. 😉
@@VanessaJoy Glad it worked out for you!
With respect, Data Color's video says 90% as does the Help File. I don't see anywhere in their video or the help file to adjust E2 so it's 70 to 80%? What manual did you read?
Any of the light or medium gray patches can be used to gray balance/white balance your image in Lightroom, ACR, or Phocus. The 20% gray patch (E2, or the gray patch adjacent to the white patch) is recommended. Use the white balance eyedropper tool in Lightroom's Develop mode, or from the upper tool palette in ACR. With Phocus, use the Neutralization tool. Click on the desired gray patch.
Next look at RGB values or Percentages of the White patch (E1). Adjust the exposure slider until the white patch lists as approximately 90% in Lightroom, or about RGB 230, 230, 230 in ACR or Phocus. Next check the black patch (E6). The Blacks adjustment (or in some cases the Shadows adjustment) is used to set the black value to 4% in Lightroom, or RGB 10, 10, 10 in ACR. In Phocus, use the leftmost Output Values setting in the Histogram section to make that adjustment.
One very very important thing to do before taking a reference from the color checker. CHANGE the color profile to EOS standard or neutral and take a white balance reading from E2 (light grey). It makes such a huge difference and really gives you punchy colors.
Oooo thanks
@@VanessaJoy no worries, it's a small detail but gets your colors up to another league sooc. Its better doing it before taking the reading so that the checker neutralizes the tones and not the opposite happens.
You mean in camera profile before shooting?
OMG I never knew the card flipped over, nor really how to use it. Maybe now I'll take my Spyder Checker use beyond just monitor calibration. Does it work in ACR as well, as I don't currently use Lightroom, just Bridge, ACR, and Photshop.
haha right? Such a great tool. I haven't tried it in ACR, I think it only works in Lightroom, Photoshop, or Hasselblad Phocus.
My dear Vanessa, I am astonished, that you touch the colour fields. The natural oil or grease of the skin of the fingertips alters the characteristics of the reflection and makes it almost useless. This is brand independent, since this is physics. I like your videos very much, this is the first time I "caught" you since you dropped your lens and said ".. Ok, it's a Canon" 😂. Nevertheless nice contribution, as I am got used to by you..
You are SO RIGHT. I actually didn’t even think of my finger oils when I listed the things not to do to the color blocks. Oh well guess I’m grabbing another one!
@@VanessaJoy We are only human. Greetings from Bremen, Germany
Do you have to take a photo of the checker every time you switch lenses to? Even if we’re in the same location
I guess that’s debatable but I wouldn’t go that far
Awesome! Thanks so much.
Anytime 😊
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
I don’t do mentoring for lightroom - but check out Michael Anthony - he has a great editing course!
Very informative. I've been curious how the color checker works.
Glad it was helpful!
What is the difference between this and the color checker passport besides size? Also if you don’t want to do the custom profile, can you just use the white balance tool to click on the checker then synch to other photos? Is there a benefit to making the custom profile?
Size and number of colored squares I believe. This is likely slightly more accurate
Should you apply the white balance, exposure, and black point to your photos that you applied to the Spyder Checkr?
You certainly can. While this “corrects” the shot, that doesn’t mean it’s creating the subjective creativity that you want :)
Vanessa Joy Thanks.
And, don't touch the color pads with your fingers. Ever.
This is the easiest to get your colors correct. But.
The white balance reference does not help to get "tint" right - this is where the color patches and profile software have to help out. Or else the blue of the dress still may be wrong.
Also, the calibration does not inform on "black point" and "white point" - you still have to do that yourself.
"Meter and Expose for the Highlights" in my camera may give one or more f-stops of highlights that I want to ignore and moving the white point to the point where exposure data contains interesting details, gives better gradation and less dull photos - the reference card does not help here.
Not sure if Datacolor Spyder has that, but with X-rite I can create a profile from two reference card shots that gives a very nice profile when you shoot in two different types of light - color temperature and tint.
Yes, ColorChecker Passport is always big enough.
I would advise to also calibrate your monitors. I had been working on a non-calibrated notebook with a very good 4K OLED display. Well, in my post office on the calibrated Eizo monitor, it all looked off. (I never calibrated the notebook for "on the road use" with its own display.)
Hi Vanessa. I’ve always been interested in the color checker and came across your video, synchronicity🙃. Anyway, how are u incorporating the WB checker, along w the color calibration checker?Are u having your model hold the WB card, as with the color checker🤔. Lastly, I use the clip over the lens, WB cap( forgot the name), do you prefer that method or a model holding a WB card? Thanks so much!!! William
Thanks for popping by! I didn’t use the web checker bc the color pretty much gets it where it needs to be and depending on the shoot I tend to mess with white balance to create a mood vs be accurate.
The expo disk I think you’re referring to is great too! But again, I’d use a color checker for jobs like this over anything else. :)
Hope you stick around!
Thanks Vanessa. Do you have any discount links for the color checker?
Lastly, what is your preference between model holding WB card and using my WB item?
Best,
William
@@WILLIAMPERRELLI I just have the link in the description. I have my model hold it
Great video!!! Couple of questions - is there much glare on the checker? Or is it pretty matte? Also which checker model is this? Been curious about these for a while for portraits, headshots, and product photography.. thank you as always!!
Oh, and is the SpyderCheckr software for LR or PS free or is it freemium or..?
You get it with your purchase of spider checker. And no I didn’t notice much glare but you want to have it in a fairly even light
So once you've done your global corrections to your 16 bit raws apart from creating 8 bit jpegs, do you bring your raws down to a 8 bit as they are very large files and take up a lot of room, especially when your got thousands of them, as long as you have the storage I suppose it doesn't matter.
I actually get rid of the raw files once I've fully delivered the images and products to my clients
@@VanessaJoy Thanks for the reply, yes I tend to save my DNG raws as 8 bit Tiff’s after my global corrections, just in case I want to do some more work to them in Raw as a Filter, I find jpegs start to degrade slightly if you keep working on them and resaving them. I’ve read many books where they all say getting rid of your raws is like getting rids of your negatives, but I’m quite happy with my method.
Thankyou.
I have a different brand of color checker which I keep in my camera bag. My biggest difficulty is remembering to actually use it. 😋
Hi Clif. Which brand do you have?
@@vijaym2752 X-Rite Color Checker Passport
Welp. ..I have been using the color checker the wrong way. 8-) Good info, TY
Haha well there ya go :)
As usual get it right in camera and you don't need to do a ton of editing beyond making sure the color is correct. Great video thanks.
lol yeah.. my biggest problem recording this was the lack of color difference between the image I shot and the image that was corrected, thats why I ended up showing the saturation vs portrait profile differences
Which color profile did you have on your camera during the photoshoot?
How is it to use with capture one?
I’ve actually only used it with LR but I imagine it works in very much the same way.
Do not touch the color fields, even the cleanest finger leaves traces, and after some months the results degrade
next time you have a chat with your model from the video there, let her know that she is absolutely gorgeous.
❤❤❤
:-)
...do not touch it. You do not want oils from your hands on it.
Damn near cheating.
lol almost
@VanessaJoy this one can't generate a profile for Capture One Pro unless you know the hack.
Oooo do tell
