what I dont understand is if you put the light gray card in a shot to use for adjusting the WB or color balance later in post processing, how do you transfer the correct adjustment ( settings? ) to the next image ( the desired image) that doesnt have the light gray card in the scene? jco

I've had less than 300 shutter releases using RAW, most were in a controlled environment (testing lenses etc) where I've shot film over some 16 years, it was easy to adjust the white balance there, now I'm just getting adjusted with my first few outdoor shots, thanks for the help.
