Review on DGK Color Tools DKK Calibration by Chris Chincuanco

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Could be better

For this price you can't expect professional quality but there are better options. That's more than other similarly priced color charts, and you get two of them. But the card is fragile and the surface is glossy, so you need to watch out for glare. Some colors show a print pattern. I found the chart capture was slightly blurry, if that's the problem. The protective paper folder is not as good as in the photo. Attempting to bend the lid to protect the color card as shown in the product image does not work. Either mine wasn't glued properly, or there's a bug in the new design. My folder is broken. This chart cannot be used to automatically generate color profiles with the Adobe DNG Profile Editor. For this, you need a 24 color card. The instructions on the card contain a broken link to get a free script to use with Adobe Camera RAW to create profiles. I finally found it on their hard-to-navigate website, but I don't have Camera RAW to try it out.

Pros
  • Color calibration charts
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other models
