DGK Color Tools DKC-Pro 5" x 7" Set of 2 White Balance and Color Calibration Charts with 12% and 18% Gray - Pro Quality - Includes Frame Stand and User Guide

I needed to take professional-looking photos of my artwork for prints, and although color accuracy is not super important in my art style, if I'm going to do it, I might as well do it right, right? So I picked up these white balance and color calibration charts, stuck one in a shot with a painting, and was able to get pretty on-the-nose colors for my prints. They seem pretty well made, as long as you're not folding them in half they should last you a long time. Not to mention they're pretty affordable in comparison to some of the other models out there. Definitely got the job done for me.

It does what it is meant to do, and the colors are accurate as far as I'm concerned (I'm a pro photographer/filmmaker and content creator). It easily fits into my camera bag.

The product looks good and is super affordable. The main issue is most of the color software is set up to work with Spyder or X-Rite ColorChecker products. The colors are not in the same order so you cant use their auto detect features to color grade automatically. I ended up buying the X-Rite Video Passport as a replacement. If you want to use as reference and do manual color mapping this will work.

👍👍👍

Disappointed! Practically worth only $5 instead of $15! 1. Don't know why I need to buy two of the same card (- $7.50 for unwanted redundancy) 2. Color card seems to be well made with a true non-reflecting surface (That's all) 3. Gray card (or White balance side) is pathetic and totally amateurish! It's just printed with ordinary Gary paint and has so much reflection as shown in the picture. Worthless! If you find any gray card/paper in your mailbox, that will be better than this! 4. The included framing card is outrageously stupid! It blocks half of the top color patch. Don't know how could they make such a mistake! Overall, out of four sides (2 cards) plus add-on items, only one side is strictly useful. And this makes the item worth at most $5 instead of $15. Not to mention that no software is included. Even SW is available, It's doubtful it will work. I've X-Rite Color Checker Passport. Though X-rite is a bit small and pricy, there's no comparison with this DGK stuff, espscially X-RIte SW is everything about color correction. I bought this as a quick visual color reference, but not worth it.

This is a great way to get proper white balanced photos. The pro version comes with a software download that will build a profile that can be used in Photoshop and Light Room. Just take a photo of the color chart, put the image into the software, and out pops the profile. When using Photoshop, just click on the color correction tab, select the profile, and the colors get corrected. The biggest problem is finding a way to put a leash on the cards. They seem to sprout legs and run for the exits at the first opportunity. This is the second set in the past few months. I like to think that they will come back home someday. Just do not leave them out where other photographers can see them, because they will disappear.

Wow, these are perfect! Easy to use, include this in a scanned image or a photo-copy and you will be thrilled! A knock off of the MacBeth, but I don't need to keep spending extra cash to balance color reproductions. These are lightweight, easy to place under art on a copy stand or pin, tape to the artwork. Reasonable Price, perfect size. Highly recommend!

It does what it should. You have to treat it with care because it's delicate, but hey.. for this price it works.
