Quintin Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hello. I have got a colorchecker passport and used to click on the grey blocks to try and get an accurate white balance and I recently bought a JJC GC-1 white balance card kit in the hope that i could use it for a one click white balance solution because it is an 18% grey. The problem is that it is bringing back images that are too warm. If i use it with my elinchrom lights in studio it sets the white balance to 5700 which is waaaay to high. I am expecting it to be more in the 4800 - 5100 range. My monitor is calibrated with an i1 Display Pro so the monitor is good, but i need help with what to do / put in the shot to get more accurate and consistent white balance readings. I would appreciate any advice you might have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Oh Quintin, I'm SO sorry to hear about this. The only consolation I can offer is that LOTS of people have made the same mistake as you, so you're not alone. https://www.damiensymonds.net/white-balance-sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
