Calibrite ColorChecker Classic NANO for Capture and Editing Color Control

The Calibrite ColorChecker Classic NANO for Capture and Editing Color Control is a specialized color reference tool designed for extremely small or close-up photography projects. Measuring just 24 x 40mm, it is the smallest target within the ColorChecker range and offers precision color control for the most demanding close-up shots. Ideal for macro photography of nature and insects, art photography of stamps and miniatures, and object photography of jewelry, coins, and other small items, the NANO provides a reliable color standard in these challenging photographic scenarios.

ColorChecker targets, including the NANO, are essential for creating custom camera profiles, correcting neutral balance and exposure, and establishing a foundation for accurate color corrections. By offering a non-subjective standard of comparison, the ColorChecker helps determine the true color balance of any color rendition system. This enables photographers and filmmakers to compare, measure, and analyze color reproduction differences across various processes, preventing costly errors.

The core of the ColorChecker is its array of 24 scientifically formulated colors. This industry-leading color reference target has been trusted for over 40 years to deliver true-to-life color reproduction. Each color on the target represents a natural object, such as human skin tone, foliage, or blue sky, and reflects light in a manner identical to its real-world counterpart. This consistency ensures accurate color representation under any lighting condition and with any color reproduction process.

Color perfectionists have relied on ColorChecker targets for decades to create custom DNG profiles for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop workflows. When combined with Calibrite ColorChecker Camera Calibration software, users can also build custom ICC camera profiles for Capture One and other ICC compatible software. This process yields accurate color directly from capture, considering specific lighting, camera, and lens combinations, saving valuable editing time.

Integrating a ColorChecker target into your photo or video capture is straightforward. During the editing phase, use the target to compare, measure, and analyze color reproduction differences within any color rendition system. This objective standard facilitates global color corrections based on precise data, preventing unintended color shifts when editing multiple images with similar requirements.

By utilizing the ColorChecker Classic NANO, photographers and filmmakers can avoid costly trial-and-error color adjustments while editing images or grading videos. This reliable tool ensures accurate and consistent color reproduction, streamlining the creative process and delivering exceptional results.

The ColorChecker Classic NANO is compatible with a range of software, including Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Color Finale, Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve, Hasselblad Phocus, and 3DLUT Creator. As a replacement for the X-Rite ColorChecker Nano, the NANO offers improved color accuracy and performance for all macro photography applications.
