How to Use an 18% Gray Card

Getting the color just right in your photography can be difficult at best. There are incandescent lights, fluorescent lights, less than favorable lights...you get the drift. So how can you make sure that your images look as close to the real thing as it can (assuming you want it to look like the real thing). You do that by using an 18% gray card.^[1] With digital cameras, you will be adjusting the white balance.
