Free ColorChecker Passport Software Update Now Available

X-Rite just announced a free software update for its ColorChecker Passport software. ColorChecker Passport is a "capture to edit" color solution for photographers needing accurate color in their digital photography Raw workflow. With the included ColorChecker Passport Camera Calibration Application and Lightroom Plug-In, photographers can easily build camera profiles for Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Camera Raw (ACR) and Bridge.

New features of ColorChecker Passport software v1.0.2 include:

• Now fully compatible with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3
• Improved color extraction for better profile accuracy
• Improved patch detection (eliminates errors in cases where the luminance of light-colored patches meets or exceeds the luminance of the white patch)

"X-Rite knows how important color accuracy and responsive workflow is for professional photographers," said Mark Rezzonico, Vice President, MAC Group/X-Rite Photo Marketing. "That's why ColorChecker Passport software was updated the same month Lightroom 3 was made available and is free to our customers."
