dear jeanie, do you always buy things without knowing how they work?
There is a tutorial on the website...

Errr... not brief leh... quite detail explanation of each type of card.i dl that.it was EXTREMELY brief.
:cry:
bc, appreciate your explanation.
i think you misunderstood.
the card i was asking for is the greyscale 3 panel with white grey and black.
i do not have the multi colorchecker chart, nor the mini one.
There is a explanation in the colorchecker chart tutorial about the white, grey and black patches of the color charts. They are the same as your greyscale chart.
You can also use the white and grey patches for WB.

Ask your subject to hold the card and meter with the card at the 18% grey area, it will give you the correct metering.but dunno how wor.:dunno: :embrass:
Aiyoh... I tot the tutorial was quite clear...
Take a photo of the scene with the grayscale card in it to capture the colour rendering of the lighting. This will be your reference photo for the rest of the photos that you are going to take. Now you have a standard reference in the photo.
In photoshop, use the eye dropper to sample the white, gray and black swatches of the grayscale card in your reference photo. According the the tutorial, the RGB values of the black swatch should be with 7 units from each other and around 50. For the white swatch, the values should be around 245. For the gray swatch, the values should be around 128 and RGB values should not varied from one another by >7 units. If the values are off, use the levels and curves to adjust the RGB values to the proper values. Apply the same levels and curves to the rest of the photos.
As for custom WB in your camera, refer to your D200 manual for instructions.

You still have to worry about the WB yourself. The card is just a standard that says "I'm white, grey and black and I'm 100% uncoloured! Use me as a subject and you'll know if your lighting is coloured (because I'm certified bonafide neutral) and if your exposure is right because I'm black, I'm white and I'm somewhere in between."tutorial got say until so 'detail' meh?i must have dl the wrong one?:dunno:
let me go check again.
so, am i right to say, with the card thingy, i do not have to worry about WB?
Yes it ain't cheap but you'll know when you need to use it. Fortunately or unfortunately, most of the time you don't.that's why i dislike receiving gifts which forces me to fully utilise it.
i like to shoot, but hate to do too much pp.
heard this card aint cheap.:dunno:

Let's just call it a more reliable subject than some pringle can cap.
