Datacolor SpyderCHECKR Reviews
Good for DaVinchi
By Sungjib

I am using the Datacolor ColorChecker in both Lightroom and Blackmagic Design DaVinci. In DaVinci, I apply it to Canon Log3, and the difference before and after applying it is very noticeable, making it much easier to approach the desired color tone. However, in Lightroom, the difference is less significant. This is because when applying the Color Checker, the adjustments only affect the Color Mixer section. If you're already skilled at color grading and can see the changes well in Lightroom, the effectiveness of the Color Checker may be reduced.
Works great!

Is this color checker work both for Adobe RGB and for sRGB?
When using the Datacolor SpyderCHECKR Color Chart and Calibration Tool for Digital Cameras, files must be saved in the AdobeRGB color space for the purpose of exporting target files to the SpyderCHECKR software. You may edit your images in sRGB or any other color space you choose which works with your workflow, but the instruction manual states that files sent to the SpyderCHECKR software need to be saved in the AdobeRGB color space.

question
Will this work with PS Elements 14? I can't seem to find how to get to the presets. I shot the color checkr and saved it as a .tiff but I can't find the presets in Adobe Camera Raw.
According to page 9 of the User Guide included with the Datacolor SPYDERChecker, it states If you use Photoshop or Elements, you will do your RAW import through Adobe CameraRaw (ACR), then you will need to launch the SpyderCheckr software manually, as there is no auto-launch option in ACR. The SpyderCheckr software only auto-launches with Lightroom. For more information, you would have to contact Datacolor directly by clicking the Submit a Ticket Here link under the General Inquiries section on their Contact Us webpage on their website. <a href= http://spyder.datacolor.com/consumer-support/ target= _blank >http://spyder.datacolor.com/consumer-support/</a>

Will the Colorchecker Passport 2 calibrate my camera as well as this? It’s cheaper and more portable.
Yes, both the Datacolor SpyderCHECKR Color Chart and Calibration Tool for Digital Cameras and the Calibrite ColorChecker Passport Photo 2 are designed to calibrate your camera for better and more accurate colors. The working mechanisms for the products are different as the former creates HSL presets that can be used with popular photo editing software and the latter ensures accuracy from the time of capture using a four separate target method.
