Besides looking cool using one of course. For me, it's all of the above. It's a simple as that. Compact and lightweight, the unit offers amazing functionality and fits easily into any photographer's kit.

Seems like they got it right. The case is tight, the click stop adjustment allows you to angle the charts to mimic the light falling on a subject, and the size is perfect.
The Passport software is a much easier to use version of this technique. This has much more technical information available about the profiles, including colour shift information you can use to see how the profile is working.
It also offers considerable scope for editing aspects of profile behaviour. The Adobe software does have the slight disadvantage in that it takes more time and care in producing profiles. This means you can make specific dual illuminant profiles with a much larger range of images than you can with the Adobe software. There are no more advanced modes available in the X-rite software i. The gateway picture above, suggests I ought to perhaps consider the use of profiles a bit more often than I do….
A good example is from some product photography training I was carrying out a short while ago. The picture to the right shows some knitware, with specific dark colours that need recording accurately.
The ColorChecker card allows you to produce a specific profile and consistent results from the particular lighting setup in use. I came away with the impression that for a lot of work it was possibly more trouble than it was worth. Move your mouse over the image below to see a version of the image processed with ACR standard and a custom DNG profile. The range of colour adjustment targets is useful, even though I never shoot only JPEG images with my cameras.
Do be careful when placing the card, that it is not being illuminated by strongly coloured objects. Includes software that runs as a stand-alone application or Adobe Lightroom plugin, for creating single and double illuminant DNG profiles that can be used in Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw V4.
