Develop Persona: Option to take average of multiple pixels with color picker

[DaMoIsHere]

Hi,

when using the color picker in the Develop persona for e.g. auto white balance it is very hard to get a right value due to sensor noise. It works fine for images with little color noise but as soon as it gets a little stronger the white balance jumps all over the place when trying to sample a white pixel.

This feature already exists for the color picker in the Photo Persona, probably for the same reason.

From the help file

"White Balance Tool

Automatically sets the White Balance of the image depending on the colour of the pixel clicked under the tool's cursor or pixels selected by dragging (averaged colour)."

 

Does that help?
