and drag it for a few seconds on a clip |
Hmm ... I'm not used to dragging an eye-dropper for several seconds. I don't even understand using one that way, especially the WB one. If you just make a quick click, does it work fine without crashing?
To get a larger selection, hold the Ctrl/Cmd key down while clicking.
Understand, all that control does is to attempt to balance out the gain ... the top exposure value ... of each channel RGB against each other (as a practical explanation). All other values down the scale ... scale. I've not found it particularly useful for getting me a real neutral image. It just balances the white peaks of RGB.
I actually use the Creative Tab's Shadow/Highlight tint wheels for neutralizing color tint. I'll pick something about a third of the way up from the bottom across the RGB Parade or Waveform RGB scopes, and adjust the shadow tint wheel until that feature in the scope is relatively even ... then pick something about a third of the way down from the top in the scopes and do the same with the Highlight wheel. You can even fine-tune a bit with the "balance" slider.
Then if I choose, I go back to the Basic tab to start tonal correction of luma values.
