I just purchased your product and am curious if it will fit into my present workflow like I hope it does.

Currently I use a Gretag colorchecker in studio and a jobo card for most everything else. I open these images and place 3 color samplers. White, black, and gray. Then use levels to neutralize white and black. Next I use curves to neutralize the gray while protecting highlights and shadows. It seems that WhiBal should fit in with ease.

Is this a proper approach?

Thank you in advance.

Yes. it soulds like you are shooting JPEG. it is more effective to do this in RAW, but for a JPEG workflow the WhiBal will serve you much better. I do not believe that the Jobo cards are really neutral. The gretag grays are although the white and black of the WhiBal are more neutral and the Black much Blacker.
