    Am using Cs5.

    I love the fast color corrector but have a problem when i use it on my iMac27″. Its graphics card is AMD.

    It doesn’t seem to be able to change the “whites” to white when i use the color picker.

    It works fine when i am on my old macbook pro that is installed with a Nvidia card.

    Would my graphics card have anything to do with it? Or should i do a re-install on my iMac27″?

    If it is the graphics card then should i switch to a pc? Hahahaha

    I have no problem color correcting manually but I am just wondering about this.

    The same problem occurs when i try to correct the blacks using the color picker thing.

    This might sound silly, but do you have the effect toggled off (the little “fx” icon next to the effect name is not showing)?

    I’ve noticed that the eyedroppers on effects that have them will appear to respond (erratically) as you hover over your image, but then as soon as you click nothing will happen, of course, because the effect is disabled.

    Fast color corrector is working just fine for me in CS5 on a Radeon 5770.

    Hahaha if only that was the case. I usually have it on.

    Like u said, it behaves in an erratic manner. It will either turn the whites into any other color aside from white OR it just doesn’t work.

    I forgot to mention that the iMac’s CS5 is an ED, electronic download while the macbook pro’s one is installed using a dvd.

    If it works fine on yours then I guess i have to re-install using the DvD.

    Before you go nuts and reinstall everything, remember you can always try clearing your plugin cache by holding down shift when you start Premiere.

    Or you can try trashing your preferences (hold option+shift when starting the application). I know a lot of people swear by that as a “cure-all.” But personally, I’ve never had to do this to solve a problem in either FCP or PPro.
