Adjusting the camera’s white balance (during

photo shoots)

Note: Your camera’s white balance setting must be set with

the gray card each time the lighting condition changes.

1 Position the gray card in front of your subject or at

the location where your subject will be

photographed.

Tip: Your subject may hold the card.

2 Access the White Balance menu on your camera

and select the Custom White Balance mode.

3 Activate the camera’s Custom White Balance Set

button (see the camera’s user manual to locate this

setting). This sets the proper white balance for your

next set of photos under current lighting

conditions. Now you are ready to take pictures of

your subject.

Adjusting a photo’s white balance (with

post-processing)

1 Position the gray card (or all three cards if you want

more shadow and highlight control) in front of your

subject or where the subject will be located.

2 Set the camera as you normally would for proper

exposure using Auto White Balance mode.

Note: If your camera is equipped with a RAW image

capture mode, activate it, as this provides more control

than normal (JPEG) mode.

3 Take two photos: one with the gray card in the shot

and one without.

4 After loading the images from the camera to your

post-processing software, such as Photoshop®, select

the center of the gray card and instruct the software

to use that point to set the white balance for the

entire image.

You can also use the white card image to set the

highlight limit and the black card image to set the

black level, as needed. These settings can then be

copied and applied to all the remaining photos that

were captured in the session.
