2020 and i am going through all the steeltraining videos, 6 - 8 years after they been released. So clear, no-nonsense and useful. Thank you
Glad you like them!
I’m watching this in 2024.
I’ve been looking for a grey card tutorial for ages that’s simple to understand. You nailed it.
This was so well explained. I have seen so many TH-cam explainers gloss over the exact “how to” for this super important thing to know. This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!!
Thank you for this. You are a very good teacher. Everything in this video made perfect sense and is very understandable for newer photographers that might not know fancy terminology. Thanks again!
Thanks, Austin! You can find even more videos of mine on my website at www.steeletraining.com
Thank you sir for sharing great knowledge and experience
The easiest and most informative video of how to use grey card on YT! Thank you 🤗
no nonsense sharing of skills; everything seems so easy and direct (savings a lot of time) that some spent hours. It's like I watch the video then go around the landscape and take shots. very informative channel.
Really appreciate your clear, thorough explanations. Thanks for sharing!
Once again, a top tutorial. Well done and thank you.
I really liked that you explained both, the camera process & the editing process. 👍🏽👍🏽
This is such a clear and simple tutorial to follow along. Thank you very much for creating this video, and sharing your knowledge. I've just ordered the $10 card you recommended and kindly shared the link to in Amazon. Outstanding!
I just recently got into photography and white balance was my biggest issue until now. This is genius. Thank you ever so much!
I just discovered your tutorial and I wanted to write you a note of thanks for the clear, very helpful video. Thanks!
Thank you very much for this video! Wanted to review my process and make sure other videos I watched went over doing this the same. Wish I had watched this one first. You explained the process so expertly and clearly. Thank you!
Thank you, you were very clear and I was able to immediately jump into Lightroom and fix my photos all at once.
I truly appreciate your instructional videos. So comprehensive and easy to understand. Important to me as I have so much to learn. I will be checking out your Lightroom training video on your site. Thank you!
Thank you for the clear explanation on the importance of a white card. Excellent video!
This was REALLY helpful. Thank you!!
As always I learned something new. This video is old but it never really gets old.
Excellent tutorial. Concise and to the point
Many Thanks.
Photographic Jargon made easy.
Love your videos.
Wow thank you. This is embarrassing but, I have an A A in photography and never knew how to white balance my photos. You explained how so, well. And it was easy to understand! I'm excited!
Thanks for the kind words! Comments like that keep me inspired to produce more videos.
+Vangerline i know right, its funny how people pay thousands of dollars in art school and such but they never teach the basic right!.

Your Lightroom trick blew my mind! Thanks for sharing it.
Exactly the information I needed to set my white balance with my gray card. I'm on my way to your website to get more info on your available training.

This really helps me a lot. Thanks! the way you explain things is superb! Keep it up!
Great video. I like your teaching style. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
I don't own a camera right now, for the past few days I was looking for recommendations for the best purchase I can make within my budget and I stumbled upon your channel. Now I have found myself being subscribed to your channel and binge-watching your videos.
thank you!!!! I had no idea this was so easy to do and it will save me time color correcting in post!
Thank you for such a simple and clear explanation of setting custom white balance. 😀
The best video I've seen so far. Thanks for your time to teach us this.
This is spot-on video I am looking for. I was wondering why photos looks so differently, but now I know. Thanks for info.
This is going to save me sooooo much time in Lightroom. Thank you!
Very good teacher. Ordered your PS and LR courses.
I like the way you explain every detail thanks.
WOW! This is such awesome information! I didn't know this existed! I am always having an fun time trying to get my white balance right but this is great to know. Thank you!!
Wow! I'm still a student and I was struggling to understand how to use the Gray Card correctly. It wasn't very clear to me until I watched your video. It finally synced to my brain lol Thank you so much for the instructions! It was amazingly explained :) I'm looking forward to learn more from your courses ;)
One of best guides on TH-cam.
Wow! You explained it so much clear!!! I’m learning how to use the grey card. Subbed! 😊
Thank you, very helpful, well spoken and well taught
Thank you, this was extremely helpful.
Thank you very much. You explained the process very well.
Thank you for the tutorial! Very helpful. Plan to watch the rest of ur videos
As always, this is a very helpful video. Thank you so much.
I found this to be very clear and to the point, with good diction. Well done, I learnt a lot. Thankyou.
Excellent video. Great instructor. THANK YOU.
that side-by-side comparison really made the difference clear. thank you for this ^^
So helpful! Finally someone explained it well. Thank you.
Thank you sir....from now on you are my mentor 🙏🙏.....amazing piece of photography 🙌🙌
Phil, another great video. I have a question, I have a Canon T6. In the menu options, I can select the type of light. Sun, shade, tungsten or white fluorescent. Is it fine to use this, or should I be setting the white balance as you instructed? Thanks!
I had no idea, but now I do! As always, top notch... Thanks
Such valuable tips! Thank you so much.
This video was extremely helpful to me. Thank you sir
Great job Phil.
Great video thank you for including the links as well.
WB is something I've always struggled with, looking forward to trying this out!
Another fine tutorial! Thanks!
Thank you for your excellent explanation... Appreciation!
Thank you for this video. Very helpful!
Really great information. White balance is the one thing I consistently have trouble wrapping my head around. I usually just modify the colour temp in post, or leave the camera on 'cloudy' (which I find usually keeps colours warm), but this is helpful, might nudge me to not be so lazy with it.
Superb video. Very informative. Thank you!
Nice video. Very well explained
Great video and very well explained.
lovely tutorial.thanks
Excellent! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing. -Will
Thank you for this video :) straight to the point and very easy to understand . I’m now a subscriber :)
Loved this video my friend, thanks!
Very Informative...thanks for sharing!
Great tutorial! Loved it.. thanks!
Good tutorial, very useful for video shooting on non - RAW format.
Very good presentation.
Thank you very much. I am going to try this. I have a Canon T2i and the colors seem to be muddy. Your video gives Hope. Thanks again. Just one quick question. Do I need to set the white balance every time the lighting conditions change? In that case the post production method seems easy and useful. Thanks
this is the exact video that I was looking for, Thank you.
So well explained. thank you
Hey great tutorial thanks a lot. Just a quick question thogh: which white balance settings did you use for the test shot?
Great video. Very helpful. Thanks. One question. I take a lot of pictures indoors (parties). I have to use the flash (bounce it off the ceiling) most of the time as the lighting is not very bright. So my question is when taking the photo of the grey card - do I need to use the flash as well ? Many thanks.
That was very helpful, thanks a million!
Thanks a lot for your video. What do you use the other colours of the coloured side of the grey card for? Thanks a lot
Thanks for this great video. I have one question. Does it matter which white balance I use for the first photo with the gray card? Would I get the same results if I use sunny day or cloudy day for that initial photo?
This was very helpful, thank you! :)
Very clear discussion. Thank you! 👍🏼
Very interesting and informative - thank you Phil :)
Awesome tutorial!
excellent well explained info; thanks!
Thank you. Great explanation.
Wow a really great video!! Thank you so much.
Super helpful bro, thanks!
excellent video. Thanks!
You're a good teacher.
Great video! Thank you Steele - Some grey cards are darker or lighter than others...and some are white and some are black. What is the 'ideal' RGB of the grey card for Lightroom? In my photos, the eye dropper reads 75-79% across RGB.
Thank you so much.. great lesson. Ive subscribed
thanks for the video and it was very helpful, but i got a question if i may, will this procedure work accurately if the camera is set at awb or at a specific white balance only?
Very helpful! Thank you!
Wonderful, Thank you Sir!! :)
All these statutes help me much thanks x sharing
love this video .. very simple. Thank you very much.
Love it.. Thank you. It as help me a lot with the first way of doing it. . But the second one I think I like adding my own color. Play around with curves... I bought the same cards thanks to you same some money. .
This is a great! I'm about to buy a grey card especially for weddings.. Just one (maybe silly) question: It matters if a take a picture of the grey card with or without flash? In a wedding I shoot with flash, but in some other cases not necessary.... Thank you!
Perfect video on WB!
Best white balance video I've seen yet! The other ones just confused me
