<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I have been watching this tread with interest as we were struggling with this issue a while back and we turned our noses up at the high prices of options already made and required something
that would fit within our workflows and the software that we were already using. The solution we came up with here was a little more DIY than any of the suggestions posted here but still allows colour correction software that is easy to use to be run over
the images. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">We took one of the Datacolor SpyderCHECKR 24 Color Charts (<a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1070560-REG/datacolor_sck24_sypdercheckr_24.html">https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1070560-REG/datacolor_sck24_sypdercheckr_24.html</a>),
carefully removed the black plastic covering, Removed the plastic colour swatches, cut them into quarters and reassembled the squares onto a piece of durable card with adhesive. We then cut a piece of dark matt-black card with squares that were the same dimensions
as the original just scaled down and stuck that over the top. This made 3 charts that are approximately the dimensions that were being requested. With the final quarter, we made another set of smaller charts that was about 3cm long.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">We found this solution to be useful as we can still run the Datacolour software over the images for colour correction and all our charts are the same colours.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">They are pretty rustic but perfectly useable and the software still works as long as you use a suitable sized chart for the size of specimen being photographed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
