Filling the frame to measure the balance seems like it would be a chore.. Jan 06 06 11:17 am Link It looks like the idea is that you use them when shooting raw, rather than to set the camera wb. Then you just need an area you can sample to determine the adjustment.

Imagine having to batch 3 or sets of images when you change your WB after you get back to the shop rather than getting a measured balance "in camera" then just firing away. Jan 06 06 11:34 am Link Workflow is reduced with the WB cards but you need to get the White balance in the ballpark of the scene.. S/N ratio and all.. The light grey card is for Jpegs.. The thing I like about this one is that the black is black around 10 15 5 something like that Macbeths Color is 40 points Jan 06 06 11:46 am Link I have made my own cards out of different colors and shades of construction paper,lol. Just to see what effects I would get. Can me interesting. Jan 06 06 11:49 am Link theres an informative set of videos on the sight you can watch to see the useage.. I like the idea of including it in one image and then selecting the white black or grey point, but I have never used one and Im thinking It would just sit in the bag. so many toys, so little cash sigh.... hey Stu, my biirthday is the 9th! hint hint!
