Digital Grey Kard Standard White Balance Card Set with Standard Lanyard (Set of Three Cards) from Digital Image Flow brings science to the art of digital color control. The White Balance Card Set is the user-friendly, economical, and indispensable color correction tool that belongs in every photographer's bag. Digital Grey Kard gives you perfect digital color every time.
To use this set of three cards - Black, White and Neutral Grey simply take a picture of the card in the same lighting your subject is (or was) in. Use auto white balance and P (Program) mode for the picture. You can either use the resulting picture as the basis for a custom white balance setting, or you can use the Digital Grey Kard picture during post processing for a custom white balance.
The glossy surface of the Cards will instantly reveal any reflections that may lead to incorrect white balance. If reflections are seen on the cards surface during a white balance operation, reposition the card so that reflections are eliminated.
Note! The DGK-1 has a Standard Lanyard whereas the DGK-2 has a Premium Lanyard with a detachable clip, which releases the cards from the teather.

Works great for white balance, exposure check, white point & black point. Take a picture in raw and go. Small but big enough. Flexible plastic cards, colored through, waterproof, easy to clean. Should last a long time. Not a convenient lanyard. Spend a little more and get the Premium version. I changed it over to a lanyard like the Premium version.

Comments about DGK Color Tools Digital Grey Kard Standard White Balance Card Set with Standard Lanyard (Set of Three Cards):
This is perfect for when you are on the go, or when you have a small bag and really can't carry around a larger gray card. Not really using the lanyard. I have them in a small pouch in my bag, but they are wallet size - can't get much more convenient than that...

Comments about DGK Color Tools Digital Grey Kard Standard White Balance Card Set with Standard Lanyard (Set of Three Cards):
Great for indoors and outdoors. This is my first white balance tool so I wouldn't know if it's accurate, but for my needs it's accurate enough. Downfall is the size that's why I gave it 4 stars. I guess that's the reason they called it card set, but if you want something light and handy this will do the job.

nothing like working in a venue that has terrible ambient light with orange wood for the walls. This works well. I find that my auto setting on my camera is good but, this is a saver just in case.

I keep these cards in my camera bag for quick white or grey balancing. While not a full color card, they are very useful for many projects and small enough to include in any kit.

I use this White Balance Card Set all the time. My indoor and woods setting photos improved after I began using this kit. The cards are sized just right to pack in your camera case or gear bag. Don't leave home without it!

Comments about DGK Color Tools Digital Grey Kard Standard White Balance Card Set with Standard Lanyard (Set of Three Cards):
I used these cards within an hour of receiving them. I adjusted my camera to the proper white balance using the white card. The quality was obvious.
I use these more with post editing than on location.
They are great and do what they say, pretty hard not to I suppose.
One downside is the size, you need at least a 200mm lens to white balance on location with any ease.
Also there was a pointless sticker on the white card which left sticky residue when I tried to remove it.

Comments about DGK Color Tools Digital Grey Kard Standard White Balance Card Set with Standard Lanyard (Set of Three Cards):
I use them clipped on my large gray cards (which don't seem to be as accurate) to set not only the White Balance (color temperature), but the black and white values as well. Setting the latter two values can significantly improve the colors beyond the gray card setting's ability. However, these card's small size can make them difficult to get a good reading from at long distances.

Great size and like the lanyard for the neck, we shoot a lot on the run and always forget our balance cards, so I throw this around the neck and always have it with me.

From the first photo you could see a difference once I performed manual white balance with this product. I use a Nikon D300 and have always kept it on auto white balance. Not any more!

This product is a piece that everyone who wants to take photographs should have it help with the right lighting to make sure that your whites are white i think that if you want to take pic and you dont have these you need to get them.
