    When you open Color Corrector you have the big color wheels, under each wheel there are two eyedroppers. What is the function and difference of these two eyedroppers?

    in general i use the one of the left ( – choose complementary color) to correct – it will choose/add the opposite of the color that you sample) so if your frame is a bit yellowish it will add BLUE to correct .. i find the other eye drop ( + )adds more of the same color so if your frame is a bit yellow it adds more yellow ..

    in general you use the HIGH to correct your whites .. LOW to correct your blacks( shadows) and MED to correct skin tones or a mid range nuetral color .. in real use you can use any of them for white or darks – you can reverse them or use in any order you want – the low , med, high is just a suggestion ….
