I was just wondering if using the little eye drop tool when you are adjusting the levels of an image is within the rules for Basic Editing? It's basically a tool with which you select the white point, the black point and a mid grey point to better balance out the tonal range... is this using a control point?

Hi Elle,

Control points are used for modifying a specific part of an image, like for example saturation, contrast, colour, etc.
When choosing white balance you are defining the temperature (overall tone) of the image, not just a specific part, so the effect is done on the whole image. That complies with the basic editing, so you're ok here :)

Cheers,
Joao
