Most commenters seem to have missed a few points: 1- Seth cares about color management both in his workflow and in his creative process, 2- he shoots with multiple bodies within the same photo shoot and observes color inconsistencies, 3- in his case and for his workflow, the color checker fits in as another-good-tool. 4- by allowing him to align the color of all his shoots in about a clic, it saves him time in post to focus on the artistic side.Lets talk video. Imagine yourself at a soccer match, 10 to 15 live cameras, sometimes from different brands, each shooting from a different angle, with different lenses, receiving a different light. And when you sit in front of your tv, all looks consistent. How? Color management and calibration. As a video cameraman, I can tell you that without color control and calibration it&#039;s impossible to shoot a multi-camera event and have consistent rendering. Even with only two camera.Continuous color management doesn&#039;t restrict us creatively, it&#039;s just the opposite. And btw, by giving us a consistent and known base, it saves us an insane amount of work in post-production.It doesn&#039;t mean color management is for everyone or for you. It just means that in some industries it is a must and that the color checker is a nice-to-have tool if it matters to you and your business.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whaooooo, is it an impression or people are getting very emotional and challenged by this topic and by the comments?? peace guys, peace ;o)</p><p>After reading most comments I re-watched the video to confirm my understanding.<br /> Most commenters seem to have missed a few points:<br /> 1- Seth cares about color management both in his workflow and in his creative process,<br /> 2- he shoots with multiple bodies within the same photo shoot and observes color inconsistencies,<br /> 3- in his case and for his workflow, the color checker fits in as another-good-tool.<br /> 4- by allowing him to align the color of all his shoots in about a clic, it saves him time in post to focus on the artistic side.</p><p>Lets talk video.<br /> Imagine yourself at a soccer match, 10 to 15 live cameras, sometimes from different brands, each shooting from a different angle, with different lenses, receiving a different light.

If your shooting for the cover of a product, you better believe that you have perfect color calibration, because if your colors don&#039;t match the actual products then you start to loose credibility.

No. Is it something people should consider if they are thinking about going pro? yes.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are only good if you are a professional advertising photographer.
