Lightroom 4 White Balance

[Equilibrium8]

Hi

I am having an odd problem with LR4. When I use the Whibal (small keychain version), LR won't use it to set the white balance. When I click on it, LR asks me to select a neutral color. Anybody else having this problem? I tried with a gray card and it worked fine. It's just with the white card.

I use the small whiBal with LR4 and used it with earlier versions, and I have never had a problem. However, the correct surface to use is the gray surface on the side with a white and black sticker, not the shiny white area. The sticker is to set white and black point. I never use the card for that purpose. Check out the pdf online.

Yes, sorry, I was not clear. I use the side with 12% grey. It always worked fine in LR3. Maybe I am angling it incorrectly or overexposing it.

Puzzling. Seems to me that angling it wrong would only cause an incorrect white balance, e.g., if the light striking from another angle had a different temperature. On the other hand, overexposing it might cause a problem because there might not be data for LR to read. However, I'm just speculating, because I have never encountered this.

I use the WhiBal Card and I am under the impression that if the card is not correctly tilted, the shiny decal on the card will indicate that.

Mine is the small one. It doesn't have the decal on the gray side. G7, model WB7-KC I think.
