Auto-Detect Function

If the auto-detect function in your Desktop Application is having trouble finding the ColorChecker

target, check out these helpful tips.

This image is too curved. With a fisheye, keep the ColorChecker target in the middle of the frame and

backup a bit so that the lines don’t bend so much. For best results, aim to have about 10% of the image

covered by the target. Fisheyes are tricky because the auto-detection in the ColorChecker Desktop

lication is lookin

for strai

ht lines.

This image is dramatically under-exposed, so the

Passport Desktop application can’t find the

ColorChecker target in the image.

If the software doesn’t auto-detect the target, match up the dots

with the corner brackets on the ColorChecker Classic.

When holding the ColorChecker target for a

shot, be sure your finger does not cover any

of the patches. Obscuring even a small

portion of any of the patches can prevent the

ColorChecker Passport software from auto-

detecting the target.
