The Levels Tool :  
                     
                  - Make a copy of the reference photo (the one where the Digi Grey is visible) and work on the copy. To make a copy, open the reference photo and save it under another name in the .psd format or .bmp or .tif (-> File - > Save as). To work on the copy is compulsory because if you modify your reference photo you cannot make any more correction with the Digi Grey.  
                  - Open the copy of the reference photo 
                      
                  - Activate the "Levels" tool : 
                    - > Image 
                    - > Settings 
                    - > Levels…: 
                     
                        
                   
                  - The "Levels" tool is displayed like this: 
                        
                  You will use the three visible Droppers on the bottom right.   
                  - Click on the "Black Point" dropper: 
                      
                  - Click on the black area of the Digi Grey visible in the reference photo: 
                      
                  - Click on the "White Point" dropper: 
                      
                  - Click on the white area of the the Digi Grey: 
                      
                   
                  - Click finally on the"Grey Point" dropper: 
                      
                  - And click on the grey of the Digi Grey: 
                      
                  - Click on "Save" for recording the correction: 
                    
                  - Give a name to your Levels settings. Select  a folder of your hard disk and click "Save": 
                      
                  - The result obtained by the Levels settings is the following: 
                      
                  - To process your other photos realized under the same lighting, it is very easy. Open them and click the "Levels" tool. Then, load the correction made on the reference photo:    
                    
                  - The correction will be immediately visible and you will just have to validate by OK to apply it without having to use the droppers.  
                                     - Make it for every photo. 
                  - If you have many photos to be processed, you can record in a script the correction made with the reference photo. You apply then this script to all the photos to be processed via: 
                    - > File 
                    - > Automation (?) 
                    - > Batch processing
                     
                     
                    Remarks:  
                     
                    It is possible to make a more precise correction by using the Curves tool. The method using Curves is described here (in English):
