QP Card 101... The easiest, most cost-effective aid for balancing digital images. Even with correctly set and calibrated computers, software and monitors, you must balance a digital image against the monitor. A guaranteed neutral grey surface in the image simplifies balancing. It is complicated to carry around a cumbersome grey card and position it at a suitable place in the subject. In addition, the grey card becomes thumbed, dirty and faded from the light, so that after a while it is no longer neutral grey. QPcard solves these problems. QPcard is small, lightweight and inexpensive. The size of the card is 142mm x 40mm (About 5 1/2" x 1 1/2"). The Qpcard 101 is a strip of paper with white, gray and black colors. A pad of 15 QPcards comes in a protective resealable foil bag that fits easily into a camera case or pocket. The cards have adhesive on the back so that they can be attached to virtually any surface. The grey surface is completely neutral and reflects 18% light. A white and black patch can be used for contrast adjustment. In addition, the card can be used as a dimensional reference. The paper is used to get a 'gray scale reading for reference when color balancing your monitor using photoshop. Qpcard is also a self-adhesive multi-function reference card for digital images shot by digital cameras or scanned from negatives or slides.

Evaluation:
Conclusion: Unbelievably Small and Useless
Review: I looked and looked for a size when I was buying and then just decided to get it thinking it must be reasonable - but no, it is like 1 square inch and absolutely useless to me. I'm no good at returning things so I'm just out the $20.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Made of thin paper - easily damaged - got wet - worthless
Review: I was disappointed with these - you can't tell how light and thin they are from the photos. They are made out of light paper. I would have gotten something more durable and not wasted money on these if I had known. When they are in the camera bag they get crumpled and damaged easily, and if they get wet (I should have known!) they turn into a soggy mess. For a paper card printed with black, grey and white paint, these are too expensive.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Nice small card
Review: Up to now I used only the white part of it to get custom white balance. It is amazing how accurate the colors are! Very useful!
Evaluation:
Conclusion: 3 cards (not a pad)
Review: You might be confused (as I was) by the description referring to "a pad of 15 QPcards" but it's actually only 3 cards. That said, the cards are a good size for carrying in the camera bag, and come in a resealable envelope.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Great for color and exposure
Review: I use these cards to take a raw digital image that I can then use to get an initial color and exposure adjustment on my following images. It is small enough for my small camera bag.
I would prefer a more rugged coating, but the price is right!
