Using the Card Set in Postproduction

You can shoot the white-balance card set in a reference

image and later use it with postproduction software.

This allows you to create a custom proﬁle that will

color correct your photos. This reference should

be taken with all three cards displayed in the photo.

Shooting your images in RAW format will produce ﬁles

that are more suitable for postproduction editing.

1. Position and display all three cards (gray, black, and

white) in front of your subject or at the location where

your subject will be photographed with the exact lighting

conditions.

2. Set your camera’s exposure as you normally would, and

snap a shot. This is now your reference image to use

later in your postproduction software.

3. Later at your computer, use the reference image

with your software to set up a white-balance proﬁle.

Match the three cards in your reference picture to the

corresponding reference points (eyedroppers A, B and

C) when setting levels. This proﬁle can now be applied to

all remaining photos that were captured in that session.
