Gray Cards Tutorial (HD)

Uploaded by Lilkiwiguy87 on Jun 19, 2010
This video discusses into depth about Gray Cards' purposes and what they have to offer. Ideal for several purposes such as for Preset Manual (PRE) Custom White Balance, reference source for White Balance correction via post processing, different exposures for highlights, shadows, and balance when used in Spot Metering Mode, and for LCD calibration. This video replaced the old PRE: Custom White Balance video. Enjoy!
Oh, by the way, the car in the video is a Hot Wheels 1:24 scale model of TVR Cerbera Speed 12.

with what white balance should you take photo from a gray card?

Superb tutorials. I appreciate the time and energy it must take doing them.
Although I am a Canon man through and through most of the items you cover in your tutorials are applicable to photography in general and have taught me a lot.
Many thanks and much appreciation.

Great video! Thank you for taking the time to go through everything, step-by-step! I recently received my gray cards and wasn't quite sure how to set the custom white balance, but now I'm able to obtain proper exposure and white balance.
Would you recommend purchasing a color checker table for accurate colors? I don't do much print work, but would like to prepared when I chose to do so.

No, you don't need a color checker table because you'll only use it once to create a custom camera profile in a RAW processing software. Those color checker tables are for softwares that cannot read your camera's profile. With an exception for Nikon Capture NX2, it's the only software that can read your Nikon camera's profile, resulting in very accurate colors.

Can i also use Lightroom's custom white balance dropper for this one?

Yep, works with the white balance dropper tool on any other software.
