Optimize the power of your digital camera and ensure consistent color from picture to picture with the Xrite Digital ColorChecker SG. It's the original ColorChecker and more - all in a single chart. With 140 highly saturated, semi-gloss colors you gain the widest color gamut to capture the full capabilities of your digital camera. With the Digital ColorChecker SG you will be able to check and compare your digital reproduction to an actual scene or test target, create a white balance for your digital camera, and create custom ICC profiles for your digital camera
The 140 patches of the Digital ColorChecker SG were chosen specifically for their location in the color space including the 24 patches of the original ColorChecker to provide common known reference colors, 17-step gray scale patches for more accurate camera balance, and 14 unique skin tone colors for more accurate and consistent colors over a wide variety of flesh tones. Furthermore, Digital ColorChecker SG targets are designed to work with GretagMacbeth's Eye-One Match and ProfileMaker 5 Digital Camera modules to produce the most accurate ICC profiles for your digital camera.

Comments about X-Rite Digital ColorChecker SG Card:
I've been working on profiling my digital SLRs for a open-source RAW converter. The Digital ColorChecker SG is better than most other commercially available targets. X-Rite Colorcheckers are pigment-based and have realistic spectral properties and no fluorescent brightening additives. The white patch is bright (L*=96). I only dream that the Colorchecker Digital SG had 1000 patches (and not just 140)!
I was disappointed to find that X-Rite do no supply chart measurements (not even batch measured data). You can download generic data from their website, ask X-Rite support for generic data in CGATS format or get it by installing X-Rite ProfileMaker (non-functional installation good enough). Ideally, a spectrophotometer is useful for measuring the chart and the illuminant when taking photos of the chart.

This is required for the Eye-One Match software to create camera profiles. It's a very useful tool for color management, through out the digital process.

Comments about X-Rite Digital ColorChecker SG Card:
I own very expensive and top quality gear. The SG Card is one of many checks I use to insure cross color compatibilty and settings from scanners, cameras, terminals, etc. I found the card useful to maintain the very best color range settings across the equipment. Expensive...but a high color quality check.
