In addition, WhiBal provides convenient neutral White and Black reference areas for setting dynamic range in your digital caputure using the Black and White Eyedroppers available in RAW conversion software, PhotoshopTM and most other editing software. Check out the educational videos on-line. (Search for WhiBal). They tell the entire story. Feature Summary: It fits in your shirt pocket.(same size as an American business card ...2x3.5 inches)...so you will actually use it rather than have it in your bag! It is basically indestructible, waterproof, etc Both Pocket and Studio versions come with convenient stand for ease of setup on tables or flat surfaces. No need for someone to hold the WhiBal. All 4 reference "colors" are essentially equal to or better than all tested "reference cards" for neutrality and spectral flatness. All cards are designed for low refelctivity, except the BlackPoint sticker which intentionally is highly reflective so that maximum Blackpoint level may be achieved. Larger 3.5x6 inch Studio size also available Can be used to set white balance reference, Black point and White point. Fits shirt pocket or can hang on studio hook or lanyard (supplied with Pocket version only), or set on a table with included table stand. WhiBal is a product of PictureFlow LLC, is patent-pending and proudly made in the USA.

Customer reviews

A little pricey
This card is useful as an exposure aid - not its intended use, but that's how I use it. It is not as sturdy as advertised, but still much better than cardboard. The Whibal card is a little pricey for what it is.

Great product
The WhiBal reference card is a handy, easy-to-use item that has been a big help to my photography.

Does exactly what it says on the tin
Or, more correctly, does exactly as shown on the video. I cannot recommend the manufacturers video highly enough. Having tested the product the lift it gives to my photos is worth every penny of the fairly substantial price.

I already have the equivalent Lastolite product which was only rarely used as it is not convenient to have available at all times. This one I slip into my shirt product and use whenever the lighting conditions alter.
