Product Description
Loss of Highlight or Shadow detail is reduced or eliminated by the use of this 14" Digital Target which has black, white & 18 % gray panels that feedback through the camera's histogram providing correct exposure with predictable results. Still large enough to fill the frame in most situations but folds to just 6 inches to allow carrying in your pocket or instant access when using with the included belt pouch slip case. Soft silver fabric on the backside creates an efficient reflective surface to open up the shadows. Created by photographer Ed Pierce, perfect for the Digital Image Maker both in the studio or on the go. The Panel feeds back through the camera's Histogram. Rather than using a single middle tonal value, you can customize your exposure based on the histogram spikes that record the highlight & shadows. The Neutral 3-Tone Panels allow for custom white balancing, accurate metering and exposure monitoring through the camera's histogram function all with a single shot. Vastly improves setup time over the original target, minimizing the need for post correction to your image files.

Included is a One Hour Instructional DVD featuring Ed Pierce, the Target's inventor. The DVD provides an in-depth understanding of di

Good, but a Challenge to Use Outdoors Sometimes February 15, 2008

This "target" comes with an instructional DVD containing good material to learn how to use it both indoors and outdoors. The target can be used to both set a correct white balance as well as to set your exposure correctly (in particular, manually).
Once you take your shots and you download them to your computer you can further adjust the white balance with tools like Photoshop by "eye dropping" the three colors (white, gray, black). This is especially true when shooting RAW. With other tools, you can "eye drop" the gray bar to get similar results.
This target is very useful when you shoot indoors, where you have more control over the lighting. However, you can end up having to use the target many times when you use it outdoors.
