Strange, the Gretag Macbeth chart seems like it would be quite useful, but all my DV books that discuss color correction don't mention it. It's also not in the index of the "Color Correction for Digital Video" book, as shown on Amazon. Is it considered less essential than other tools?

Re: colorchecker chart: not mentioned much?
I use it all the time. It is quite useful for exposures as well as balancing for color in post. I posted this link elsewhere, but here is an article in using the color chart that Iwrote for the Motion Picture Editor's Guild Magazine:

Re: colorchecker chart: not mentioned much?
ok i am a total novice at color correction. i have bought a bunch of books but i'm still pretty lost.
can you recommend ONE book to get started?
and i have been eyeing that chart, would that chart work just as well with premiere?
i mean i assume avid has more advanced tools but premiere's color correction tools must be similar?
i read that article but if someone could write a step by step tutorial on using that chart with premiere pro i would be eternally grateful!!!
also, how would color correcting using that chart alter things like having used colored filters for the shot, or doing things like tweaking the white balance by using a ctb 1/2?
