Improved workflow
The Passport Photo 2 is an essential component for improving your colour management workflow. The ideal combination of the 4 targets offers you everything you would need to manage the different colour elements of your photographs. Including exposure control, white balance, camera profiling and creative enhancements.
Grey Balance Target
Check lighting ratios and light distribution by making use of the grey balance target, with an industry-standard 18% grey. Fascinating for producing consistent image exposure or colour in film and photography. It can also be used to neutral balance and remove colour casts.
White Balance Target
Created to exacting standards to be spectrally neutral and reflect light equally across the visible spectrum. The white balance target helps to provide a neutral reference point to accurately compensate for different light conditions.
Creative Enhancement Target
The Creative Enhancement target includes four rows of colour patches specifically designed for image editing. These can be instantly applied with just the click of an eyedropper. With two rows of warming and cooling patches serving as a guide for creating consistent and repeatable edits. You can refine the colour of your image, by introducing warmth to skin tones or boosting the deep greens and blues in a landscape with the cooling tones.
HSL ROW
Incorporated in the Creative Enhancement target is a top row of 8 spectrum patches. Ensuring colour fidelity across all hues.
Dual-Illuminant DNG Profiles
Create a single profile simply by combining two images taken under two different light sources. These new lighting profiles can be applied to a wider variety of lighting conditions. Dual-illuminant profiles can be generated with a combination of any two out of twenty-one supported illuminants. Ultimately giving you the potential to create the perfect DNG profile for almost any lighting situation.
