I used teh Chromaholics with my 1DsII. really helped nail teh reds, which can go a bit orange sometimes.
You should have good success using it.
I have an EyeOne now, using that. The book "Skin" describes about 4 procedures for calibtrating the camera, including a manual process, Chromaholics, and EyeOne. He calims manual is best. I disagree with him, I think the automated tools are **very** useful, especially when I shot product.
FWIW, I have an extra Color Checker I should sell. I got one with my EyeOne SG ( a $250 version ...)
Good luck! You will be happy with the results. It takes a while to run, especially with larger files.

Any tips on how to add saturation once the colors are made accurate? I have this way to get my colors accurate, now I need to add some saturation to get the Kodachrome look. It is nice to start with a balance of colors before adding saturation.
I currently have an old version of FM velvia. I have also played with my own actions and of course just adding it in ACR.
It occurred to me that I ought to try calibrations with various lenses and filters and lighting. Mostly as a way to educate myself on how color is effected by these variables.
Forgive me stating the obvious, but be sure you use the same color space in camera, DPP and your computer. I use Adobe 1998 in camera, and set DDP and PS that way, and profile my monitor (eyeone color calibrator) Then, I'm on screen and color balance to taste, and my Epson 2400R gets pretty darn close to my screen, so, that's pretty much it. I knew you could set the color space default in PS, but only recently noticed I had to do it for DPP as well.
