Title: Newb question: C-1 WB/eyedropper tool
Post by: pluton 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.

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

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).
