DGK Color ToolsDGK Color Tools DKK 5" x 7" Set of 2 White Balance and Color Calibration Charts with 12% and 18% Gray - Includes Frame Stand and User Guide

I use these for color balancing when I digitally capture my paintings for print. I tape these next to my original when I am photographing them. They don't take up very much space and work great with Photoshop. Very easy to do. Great results!

I included some (not very great) iPhone pictures to show how well the card worked for white balance. It’s exactly what was hoping for! I feel like the card is thicker than what I expected because previous review made me think it was going to be thin and flimsy. Can’t beat the price and it’s great for someone looking for something similar but on a budget! The only thing I would critique is I wish it was more matte and less of a satin finish.. just glad it isn’t glossy.

Shooting miniatures and figures in a tabletop studio can result in some color shift due to reflected colors from the background or even the item being photographed. This card gives me white balance and color checks. I cannot speak to its absolute accuracy, but visually it is consistent with the advertised values. Once I get the images into Photoshop, I use the values to give consistent color rendition. (See the Web for hundreds of tutorials on how to do this.) It is quick , easy and gives superior results. It ir even a simple white card can really increase your photography game in these situations.The second card can be taken on the road for when you are dealing with a lighting situation where you have LED, fluorescent and tungsten lights and need help deciding what to use for the white balance. (That was me at the IX Center during a prior Cleveland Auto Show.) You still might not be able to reach perfection, but you can examine the trades.

This is a nice little chart that is small and easy to use. I used it on a video shoot this weekend and I knew lighting was going to change with the sun. I slipped this in with the slate at the beginning of each shot and I was able to keep the look the same.The 18% gray card on the back is great for white balancing and if you want to get a good exposure that is the value on camera meters average too.My only complaint is that it is a bit shiny in direct light. It can make it hard to find the true color of the chart in a picture when all you have is light reflections screaming back in the camera. Other than that it is a valuable tool to have.

There are 2 cards in the pack which is nice. This card is on pretty lightweight stock that is thinner than a postcard. So, don't expect great durability but at this price it's good enough. I have a full sized MacBeth color chart that uses earth pigments that are superb color matches. This card is not in that league but it should help you to get consistency and reliability in your photos. I recommend that you carry this with you and take a shot of it in the same light as your subject every time the lighting changes. It will save you a lot of time later trying to get accurate color matching.

I wasn't sure about how well this would help me when I ordered, but it was on the 'list' of things to do in order to get the best picture. Very impressed.I got this to tweak the image settings for my church streaming setup. Up to then I was just tweaking the image settings by eye and getting so-so results. The image was just not right...washed out or blooming with white - colors not looking quite right etc.I took about 15 minutes to watch some YouTube videos that explain the process then another 15 minutes or so tweaking the camera settings with the card and it has made a HUGE difference. Most of my time was spend running from the booth to the stage. The actual settings tweaks were quick and easy.Very much worth having these on hand.

An absolute ripoff. These are printed on an offset 4 color press on thin cardstock. Postcards are better than this. Way overpriced and the 'stand' you get with it is nothing more than a cheap 5x7 folio made of black construction paper. The seller pulls a bait and switch, the 'stand' he shows is white with a square cutout, what I got was black with an oval cutout. These are cheap folios for 5x7 prints, nothing more. The printing is okay, but you can visibly see a reddish color shift in the 3/4 tones. The part that gets me is there are two printed cards that come with it, where the seller brags how his company is the "#1 brand of color tools in the US and Europe", which is a bold faced lie. And if you're gonna lie, at least fix the typos on your lie cards. He really thinks he's bigger in sales than X-Rite or MacBeth? Funny, he doesn't make those claims in the online listing. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS FRAUD!!

Was expecting a plastic, or somehow protected card. This thing will not last a couple of months...
