This is one of the best videos that you have done. This information is foundational for many photographers including me. I do want to learn more about the color checker passport II. I bought one years ago, but rarely used it. Unfortunately, I do not have the calibration software to use it to maximal effect. I guess I will wind up picking up another unit. I know you do a lot of the 1 hour live sessions, but I like the shorter length presentations. Just easier with my schedule. Thank you for the information given.

Something interesting that I learned about the color checker passport is that you can use the row of six gray squares at the bottom to do a white balance across the range of tones. To do this, crop the image to just those six gray squares. Pick one of the middle ones with the white balance eye dropper tool. Then look at your histogram, you will see six spikes, and notice that you will see some red, green, and blue peeking out from behind the white. Then go into your tone curve, and adjust the tone curve for the RGB channels individually till you no longer see any RGB color in the histogram.

If you don’t have a grey card at hand, for example if you just have forgotten to put it in the back like me… 😉, there is another handy little trick. Some camera manufacturers actually do some more thinking when producing their stuff. The rear lens cap of my Sony lenses are neutral grey, so I can essentially use them as grey card. And I would almost bet other brands do the same.

Fantastic explanation on how white balance can affect a scene. I really enjoyed the cool white balance for a fun, spooky looking effect. But if I'm looking for a consistent, standard white balance, how you shot it is perfect. As usual. But this method would still work for that cool tone just by selecting a cooler tone on the color checker, right?

This got directly to a few areas of studio color and separately, picking that top left white swatch on the Colorchecker as a quick way to collectively balance multiple shots. I started taking shots of my Colorchecker almost two years ago. I didn't understand all of it but I figured if at least that reference shot was saved with the collection, myself or some other editor in the future has a standardized reference to start with. That's especially a concern with my video because some of it is in demand from curators and writers for content and will be after I'm gone. QUESTION - Does that huge wall of red backdrop bounce enough red to be picked up on the grey card when shot for the camera's internal Custom White Balance you save? Or is that the idea?

Hi Gavin. It's such a nice video, thanks for sharing it. Well, there is a lot of red in your scene. Do you think it is necessary to remove any reddish color casting? If so, a video explaining how to do it in the post-processing will be fascinating.

Flash was on. So the white balance card needs to be lit in the same light that your camera is photographing in. I set mine up for "No flash, no picture" so the camera was only capturing the light from the flash.

@L.Spencer

My guess is no, because it won't make it easy to edit consistently, if that's what you're going for. If you want all the photos to have the same look/color you'd have to do each one and it would be hard to get them all the same.

Personally I still set a custom White Balance outside as I tend to be in one location of a reasonable amount of time. If you're more of a run and gun photographer, or if close enough colour is plenty good enough (which is very often the case) then Auto White Balance might be the better choice.
