Tiffen Q-13 Colour Separation Guide

The Tiffen Q-13 Colour Separation Guide is a professional-grade colour and grey scale reference card, trusted by photographers, cinematographers, and colour graders worldwide for achieving accurate, consistent colour reproduction across every stage of the imaging workflow. Featuring a precisely calibrated 20-step grey scale alongside a full colour separation chart, the Q-13 provides a reliable reference point for setting white balance, calibrating monitors, profiling scanners, and establishing a neutral baseline for colour grading in post-production.

Whether you are shooting in a controlled studio environment or on location, placing the Q-13 in your first frame gives you an objective reference that eliminates guesswork and ensures your colours are true to life from capture through to final output. It is an indispensable tool for product photographers, portrait studios, cinematographers, and anyone who requires colour consistency across multiple cameras, lighting setups, or shooting days.

The Q-13 is also widely used in scientific imaging, archival photography, and print production workflows where precise tonal and colour accuracy is non-negotiable. Its standardised grey scale steps allow for accurate densitometer readings and consistent exposure calibration, making it a reference tool that extends well beyond everyday photography.

Compact and lightweight, the Tiffen Q-13 is easy to include in any camera bag or studio kit. It is manufactured to exacting standards by Tiffen, a company with over 85 years of experience in professional optical and imaging accessories, and is trusted by leading studios, broadcasters, and imaging professionals worldwide.
