Whats the difference between using the 18% grey card rather than a normal white card? Is you use the grey card, aren't you telling the camera this grey is not grey but rather white?.. kinda confused on this white balance stuff. :(

[LearnMyShot]

@jagsaiyan there is no difference what shade of grey you use. Anywhere from pure white to pure black. anywhere on grey scale (as far as it not green or pink, or red, blue etc...)

Man how about a grey card?;) is better than white.. I use grey cards for wb and with great. Lightroom is a wonderful tool!

[LearnMyShot]

@Samyaza69 grey card is better in some cases. I often use all three, white black and grey. and see which works better with particular subject.

in this tut I just wanted to keep it simple. white is on warmer side and black is on cooler side , grey is in between

¸Which white balance setting should I use when taking a reference white/silver card image (before importing data for new custom balance)?

[LearnMyShot]

@aint4ever any setting, doesn;t matter

@LearnMyShot yes is better get all three of them, but as default I use grey cards. Nice videos by the way. Keep on good working!;)

OR you can install Magic Lantern on your camera and adjust the white balance yourself :D

@LearnMyShot Isn't the same but easier to color correct the white balance on the computer?

[Tsentavr3]

you're amazing

[ALPHADESIGNTAMPICO]

Is it better to just adjust the white balance in software? Like with MAGIC BULLET COLORISTA or something like that? Is it the same?!

Love your tuts! Thanks a lot! :D
