I know it can be used for both. Just seeing what's more common with this.** A: So if I am reading everyone correctly, here, then this is how to use this thing; for jpeg shots, you set your white balance with this thing then you go shoot. So, if you change lighting then you need to redo your white balance before moving on. If you shoot raw, then you take a shot of this thing, then set white balance in LR or PS against that shot, and then use that for all other shots in the same lighting. If your lighting changes, then you have to take another test shot to set your WB with in LR/PS. Am I understanding that correctly? **Q: I ordered this card a month ago, and it folded down to a smaller size. This no longer looks to be the case. Is this now a different card?** A: It can be folded into a smaller size like a 80/110 cm reflector, we just do not fold & pack it any more. **Q: What is the difference between this one and a similar one with white/gray/black? And another one with multiple color squares that looks like makeup?** A: Hi, This one and the similar one with black/white/grey are used to adjust white balance on your camera. The other color square cards are used for color calibration. **Q: Is the "white" side appropiate for white balance?** A: I use the grey side for white balance and it worked perfectly. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ fits well in my rucksack and does what it says on the tin. *by M***D on 5 November 2025* Buy it as I find the product suits me fine, and for sure getting the white balance correct is critical during weather change and in a woods or outside, so its a good product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a must for every videographer *by C***B on 28 March 2025* does the job, just search youtube on how to use it. good price ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Large *by A***R on 6 January 2025* Difficult to collapse into the sleeve supplied. ## Frequently Bought Together - Lightdow 12 x 12 Inch (30 x 30 cm) White Balance 18% Gray Reference Reflector Grey Card with Carry Bag [Folded Version] - Anwenk Grey White Balance Card 18% Exposure Photography Custom Calibration Camera Checker for DSLR and Film - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Memory Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXD-128G-GN4IN --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/266119457-lightdow-grey-cards-12x12-30x30cm-white-balance-18-gray-reference](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/266119457-lightdow-grey-cards-12x12-30x30cm-white-balance-18-gray-reference) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
