Too bad. An owner of a processing lab suggested getting a special card that uses a gray card and a white card. You will get better color if you white balance first. You and your photo friends should really check into this. There was a time when carrying a gray card to meter on was the photo thing to do. Read somewhere once about a card that had all the color spectrum that you took a picture of before shooting your color shots. This would help the film processor in getting the correct color balance.
