Custom White Balance (Photography in 90 Seconds)

You don't need to worry about white balance setting you are in when shooting the grey card image. When you tell your camera which image is neutral it will then set the white balance accordingly for you.

What's the difference between white cards and grey cards? Does it matter what we use?

from which of the automatic white balance should you take the costume white balance from a gray card?

Hi what white balance do you use when shooting a white object to set the white balance?

some videos say you need to shoot with white paper/card? and you use 18% gray, im confused..

@vyruzdatabass You should use a spectrally neutral 18% grey card for proper exposure and custom white balance. Some people, myself included, have used a white sheet of paper if nothing else is available. The problem with this solution is that white paper is rarely spectrally neutral, and it may throw off your exposure setting it manually from the white paper. For most non-colour-critical applications, you might be able to get away with using a white piece of paper, but a grey-card is preferable.

I liked how you showed the different tones for a correct WB. I noticed you have a gray background when using the gray card. Do we look to your skin tone or back ground for the color change?

Through it, I learned that White Balance is very important for accurate skin tones, proper color rendition and remove color casts. It will help me to take better photos.
