I'd really love to use one of these, but I feel like you skipped over the most confusing part. At 4:05, you mentioning setting the lightest part of the checker to be "RGB 230 or 90%". I have no idea what that means or how to do that :D
@@VanessaJoy thanks!! I see them, but I can't influence those directly right? They're based on the light on whatever my cursor is hovered over? (I don't have LRC in front of me or I'd test :D) I think I'm getting this. You're saying to adjust exposure/highlights/shadows to get the number you mentioned with the cursor over the relevant square on the picker. That the size of it?
I have one of these, and use it all the time, had the older style as well, and it was a pain to carry around, this is pocket size and love that about the design change.
I’ve used the x-rite passport video ever since I started doing video. Wish Lightroom or PS had an option to correct the colors without leaving the app. In Davinci Reaolve it’s super easy to work with the color checker.
Been meaning to get one. I thought it's for dialing in, in camera, not in post. Anyway, this video will be my reference, starting at 02:55. Thank you for raising the bar!
Hello Vanessa, I hope all is well. This video was very helpful with learning the color checker technicality. I shoot a Canon R5 as well. My question, if one has a session with three different lighting scenarios (eg. sunny outdoor, night outdoor and strobe indoor), do I keep my R5's White Balance setting in camera on Daylight throughout the shoot since I am using a color checker? (I shoot RAW) Do I worry about the in camera White Balance setting in the future unless I am not using the color checker? I thank you and look forward to your response. Thank you so much for the time and effort in sharing your expertise! Always greatly appreciated! Kind regards, Kevin.
So... here's my issue with the product so far. The preset switches into the "Adobe Standard" color profile. It looks less dramatic on your (I'm assuming) Canon files. On my Sony files, it kind of raises the blacks, drops the whites, and desaturates the image. The colors may be more accurate, but I can see this causing issues with my Imagen AI profile :/ why can't things just be simple? lol I'm going to play around and see if the other options don't switch profiles
Hey!!!👋🏽 Vanessa, so how does this work with skin tones and also whenever I have changing light scenarios…does that mean also if I change lighting position like from butterfly to side lighting as well or just from location to location? Also with gels and creative lighting would you still use color checker? Thanks 🙏🏽
Currently using a canon r5 and what I see on the screen of the camera it’s very different to what I see in my computer screen after transferring raw files, wondering if this will fix the colors?

Sorry about that!!! Look to the top right, just under the histogram and you can see the percentages ☺️

Holy crap! That’s how you use those things! Gonna order one tomorrow!
Thanks, Vanessa.

Sweet!! Thanks. Happy Holidays.
Thanks! I purchased this tool over the weekend, and I'm planning to use it on a shoot next weekend.
Nice!
Thank you so much Vanessa for the very helpful tutorial! God bless you!
Thank you Vanessa!! this is so useful and solves my nightmare of changing skin colors...
It is!
Aww! We wanna see that drop test!

Oh interesting- I’ve never tried davinci resolve
Will they ever add scopes to lightroom or photoshop? I agree it's 10 times easier in Davinci resolve!
Thank you for this, it is really helpful as I have been wondering about why and how to use these. Now I know! I am going to get one. Cheers! 😊

I wish this would be waterproof. I am a scuba diver and color correction for underwater pictures is a challenge.
Oooo interesting

You would reshoot the color checker in each scene on the white balance setting closest to what you plan on shooting the scene with
Great video, it’s nice to see there’s a workflow for this.
I often forget to bring it out to use.
It’s so tiny you can always bring it now ☺️
I need to try this , btw another fantabulous video
Wonderful video Vanessa!
Hi thanks for sharing. I want to ask, can I use the Spyder Checker 24 card instead? What is the difference between them? Thanks
You absolutely can. There’s small differences in them - size and such
So... here's my issue with the product so far. The preset switches into the "Adobe Standard" color profile. It looks less dramatic on your (I'm assuming) Canon files. On my Sony files, it kind of raises the blacks, drops the whites, and desaturates the image.

Very cool product!
It is!
Love your style so much 😍😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘
If you're using an OCF or stobe, do you have the flash turned on or off when taking a photo of the Spyder Checkr?
On ☺️
might be a stupid question but do you need to keep the same white balance throughout the shoot? or reshoot the card everytime you change the WB?
That part almost doesn’t matter because you’re doing the WB adjusting in post
That’s my eye palette 😂❤
Hahahaha

I would use when you change lighting colors, not lighting angles.
Capture One compatible? I assume you would have showed that if it were.....
I don’t believe so
Currently using a canon r5 and what I see on the screen of the camera it’s very different to what I see in my computer screen after transferring raw files, wondering if this will fix the colors?
It’ll help! But that’s more a raw processing setting
this is the same as the xrite color checker passport?
Different ☺️
Hi Vanessa does this spider checker also work in capture one?
I don’t believe that’s on the list :-/ but I could be wrong!
@@VanessaJoy I'm right there ready to purchase it but I'm making sure before I hit that Botton
I just read it only works on Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, and Hasselblad Bummer I was looking foward to getting this☹
Will the program work with LR (non classic) version?
Yeah it should since it’s separate - it’s just a matter of installing the preset you create
Vanessa is drop dead gorgeous, love the new hair color? Looks slightly lightened?
Great tutorial by the way, always wanted to try one of these
this is stupid old software
Calibrite ColorChecker Passport Photo 2 is better
Thanks for the input!
