Newb question: C-1 WB/eyedropper tool
« on: December 27, 2016, 11:26:19 pm »

I've googled, searched back a year on this forum, and looked at the Capture One video and text support pages.
After using the WB eyedropper to WB on a white shirt, I cannot find how to de-activate the eyedropper so that the cursor returns to being the cursor again.
Anyone care to illuminate me?
Thanks, in advance.

Try picking another tool at the top center of the window with the mouse, or for simplicity type "h" for the hand tool.

I don't understand..  That doesn't work here.  Looks like 'v' is for the viewer, not any cursor.

Unless you have remapped the keyboard commands, the V key will deselect whatever tool you have selected and switch to the select tool (the little arrow in the top center toolbar).

Ooops, silly me.  I forgot I had done just that.  :-[

V for deselect...thanks.  I swear I checked the C-1 list of keyboard shortcuts.

V doesn't mean 'deselect', it selects the 'Select' tool (the arrow). Just like the H selects the 'Pan' tool (the hand).
