Lightdow White Balance 18% Gray Reference Reflector Grey Card - 12 x 12 Inch (30 x 30 cm) with Carry Bag [Folded Version] Review

I really liked the price, size and foldability of this gray card. However, the most important thing in this industry is that everything works the way you expect it to and does it consistently. I'm switching between Lightroom and Photoshop and need a color solution that doesn't lag. As you can see from the photos, what worked on one didn't work on the other. So, depending on your workflow, you might like this card. I opted for a more expensive solution that also included white and black links.

For under $10 every photographer should have one of these. The edge resembles thin neoprene or lycra. The internal spring seems very strong and durable. The calibrated surface has a waterproof effect and is easy to clean. Perfect size storage bag. It even has a loop on one end so you can hang it anywhere so you don't have to hold it in front of the camera. It was worth it. I took some test shots in a poorly lit (a few cheap CFLs) dirty room showing before and after setting a custom white…

I have a "Pro Level" gray Lastolite card at school used great product but B ended up buying this one I was expecting a quarter the price of a lastolite product what the heck I would buy a beer less next week if it was rubbish lastolite is a gray card but the construction seems solid enough and I also compared the color of the two and found that they both definitely have the same 18% gray you are looking for to refine the white balance I should add that the carrying case for the Lightdow is…

This was one of the best purchases I've made as an amateur photographer. If you don't understand white balance yet, please learn. I reduced my turnaround time so much and am really noticing a difference in the color accuracy of my photos now. Pros: The product rolls up into a small 6x6 circle and comes with a zip bag for storage. in this size. Regularly scrolling the card causes creases to appear on the card, however these creases do not appear to affect the white balance ability. The 12 x 12…

This is a handy little helper to help you set the right exposure on the waveform monitor. It's lightweight so it can be easily attached to a target area or stand, and it's large enough to be seen well at medium distance for close-up shots. Have the interviewer hold it directly under their face before you start filming, and you can adjust your IRE for both 18% and skin tones. I'm mastering my waveform monitor under known lighting conditions and my version is actually 18% gray. Some reviews have…

This smart little product fits my needs perfectly. I used mine to do a custom white balance in the field on my Nikon D600. It was packaged in a small zip bag that opens when you take it out. I mean dad! It weighs like a feather, and the fabric-over-wire-frame construction means it's super easy to set it up against a tree or anything in the field, set the white balance, and then put it away. So it's both compact and weighs less than 4 ounces, making it a great fit for your gear bag in the field.

Does what it's supposed to do cheaply. I can adjust my white balance in Rawtherapee or Nikon's RAW Image Editor to a certain degree of precision to achieve the best quality for all colors in the standard image. (Despite using the aforementioned tools, it's a little cumbersome to transfer white balance settings to and from images. Rawtherapee sticks to pp3 files, while Nikon's Raw Image Editor uses a separate presets menu.) If you can afford the X-Rite though $80, ColorChecker Passport Photo…

Functionality first. This is a gray card so I expect it to give me 18% neutral gray in reflection. And it was so easy. I've added some test photos of Bambi. The first photo is indoors, with overhead LED lighting of a stuffed animal. The second picture is when the white balance in the picture is corrected with a gray card. Not bad, right? I take all my photos in RAW, and if you're using a Mac like me, you can simply upload the photos to the Photos app on your Mac, go to Edit, then Adjust and the
