Some photographers like to include a gray card (available at photo supply stores) in their images to help them color-balance their images.

2 If the Info panel is not open, choose Window > Info. The Info panel appears.

In the Info panel, you see general information about RGB and CMYK values, as well as pinpoint information about the three Color Sampler markers you have created. You’ll focus only on the #3 marker, as the first two were to indicate highlight and shadow.

Notice that to the right of the #3 marker in the Info panel, there are two values separated by a forward slash. You’ll focus only on the set of values to the right of the slash. Depending upon where you clicked in the gray area, you could have different values. The numbers to the left of the forward slash are the values before you started making adjustments in the Curves panel. The numbers to the right of the forward slash are the new values that you are creating with your curve adjustments.
