I picked up a photolight tent over the weekend, and after experiementing with it, im not sure if the color is what im looking for. i took test shots with all the different white balance options in my camera. but I am not sure what the color should be. so after that spiel, should i use grey card with the tent, will i see a difference in color cast.
Thanks
Troy

Wouldn't you be better off using a white card and doing a custom WB? Or are you going to adjust levels in PhotoShop with the grey eyedropper?

You shoot something like a sheet of paper that is white, under the lighting conditions you will be using and that shot is used by your camera as reference for your custom WB. There should be a fairly good explanation of how to use it right in your camera manual.

White paper isn't always white. Some of the brighter paper has "brightener" added which means the paper is actually blue-ish. On the other hand, I use a target with white, grey and black bands to do WB and it works fine. (Then you photoshop it and use the black to set shadows, white for highlights, and grey for midtones.) |
