Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a way to select the color of an area as an average vs using a probe and guessing?

The idea is to average the chart color and gain a more accurate measure of light.

The eye dropper is what I call "the probe". It goes pixel by pixel when I want an.... let me check something...

Ohhhh I was not using the eye dropper but the image probe foreground. background. The eye dropper is effectively the right tool. THANK YOU.

Why I asked:
I am using a white balance card and get frustrated by the variation in chart 1. (daylight, overcast, no flash)
By using the average It is more accurate.

With variations seen in chart 1 it is impossible to be consistent.
There is still flickering with 5x5, much less but it exists!!!
Now if I could only change the sampling from 5x5 to 20x20...
Any idea?

Thanks.
I used CS5 after getting frustrated and selected 101! But I will try, that would avoid loading CS5 :hunf: (I dislike CS5) :shock:
Thank you for your help and support.
