5 stars Review by alex maudin

I had no idea how much post processing time this could save. My method is this; I have my models hold the balance cards where all three can be seen in the first shot of each lighting situation. I now worry much less about the white balance settings in my camera. Once the images are dropped into Photoshop I just click the selected eye droppers on the specific cards and my balance is set. Very easy to use.

High Quality Review by Silverio Diquigiovanni

Hi to all, I'm an Italian photographer and after a long period of frustration shooting with preset and auto wb camera, I'm very happy because I've speed up my job production thank you to your Grey Kard.

My photo sessions are now very wb consistent and off quality is increased removing a lot of post-processing job.

Thank you again !

accurate and easy to use Review by Dr. Glenn

Before I used this product I used white paper as recommended by Canon for my 30D. I put lines on the paper for focus and set white balance as custom. The paper was difficult to use and keep with me.

Since buying the gray digital card, I have found it to be more accurate than white paper and easier to use. The digital gray card produces perfect custom white balance and works every time. It has a focus spot to get the correct image for setting up in-camera custom white balance. One time I used both the gray card and the white card (on the lanyard) and found the gray card produced the correct white balance over the white card.

Now I never take a shot without setting the custom white balance to the gray card. I do this in-camera so I don't have to make adjustments in post processing. The gray card also gives the correct light reflection for digital camera exposure. Most books say the gray card should reflect at 18%, but that is not correct for digital.

See article on the internet by Thom Hogan [....] who says digital camera makers set exposure meters to near 12% gray reflectance, 18% is based on printing standards. This gray card is closer to 12% and is very accurate.

I like the lanyard. When I'm outdoors I keep it on my neck so I can periodically reset the custom white balance as I shoot. Inside under lights, I use it one time and I'm set for the shoot. I highly recommend this card for serious photography, and it is inexpensive as photo equipment goes.
