i am using x-rite, i have indoor and outdoor photography work, i have used x-rite for projects where they need accurate colors for the product

But when I went to my next project, indoor and outdoor photos, the lighting environment changed

So do I need to recalibrate the x-rite? Do I need to create separate profiles for each different lighting environment?

Thank you very much, wish everyone a very happy day

The profile you created is a monitor profile. My suggestion is if you wish to get the White Balance corrected for the changing light conditions you would be better off including a photo with a white balance card included.

As an example, the screen capture below is from a shoot I doing for a family member. It was an internal shoot. I was able to get accurate color and brightness using the card. There is a white card and a gray card.

I may have misunderstood your post, are you creating Camera Profiles to apply to your raw camera files?

Using a white balance card is also useful.

Yes it is

I'm looking to create a profile for my camera when I'm taking photos properly, but when I'm working with another studio (I rent a studio to do my work).

Then the light will be different

So I want to ask, do I need to recreate the camera profile with x-rite when I take product photos with different lighting conditions?

Thank you gentlemen for helping me, I wish you and your family always happy and cheerful

You can create a 'dual illuminant' profile with Colorchecker Passport, so I don't think you will have to. That said, creating a specific profile for a specific situation will never hurt, and might increase the accuracy.
