The WhiBal Generation 6 (G6) RAW Reference Card is a simple-to-use standard for setting white balance in all RAW converters, as well as image editors such as Adobe Photoshop. The light & easy to handle single-card format eliminates a need to fan out reference cards, thereby speeding reference capture.

The WhiBal G6 Reference Card is light Gray, and certified to a recommended Luminance level of L* = ~75, which is optimum for use in RAW converters. The hi-gloss sticker on the corner of the card provides a TrueBlack black patch that has been optimized for a guaranteed Luminance spec of L* < 4. (TrueBlack provides a real black-point reference, as opposed to a diffuse black associated with most other multi-shade reference cards), and the sticker also provides a Whitepoint, integral focus/sharpness target, and handy reference scale in inches and centimeters essential for macro, product and scientific photography. The WhiBal hi-gloss sticker, also provides a visual indication within the viewfinder of the angle of maximum glare. By moving the camera or card from the detected maximum glare point, accuracy of the White Balance reference is properly maintained.

        After using the White Balance Card, I will never work without one (if circumstances allow me to use it). With video i will always check my white and bl balance for a quality color image. The larger card is easies to use, but does tend to be a little large to carry.

          I should have purchased this a long time ago! It's a great tool to set your manual WB, exposure -- and make post processing a breeze!

            I use this product all the time I'm shooting with my strobes, it helps allot and its easy to use for white balance.

            The only problem I have with this is that you have to be very careful how you handle the gray card, because of its surface, its easy to leave finger smudges on it.

              This card will help you render your photos more correctly. You never knew what you were missing until you see the uncorrected photo next to the corrected one. You don’t need a lab test, you can see for yourself. WhiBal has a great website, very instructional.
