Recently installed FCP 7 to my McBook Pro and trying to make 3-way color wheel correction. When use eyedropper at color wheel - white for a yellow cast image that seems doesn't work to get auto neutral color instead of to get a darker color which picked. But this is works normal on my desktop MacPro when to do the same things. How can I fix it on that way to get neutral colror? Please advice if anyone can help. Thanks?

Are both computers using the same operating system? There have been reports of problems using the eyedropper inside Pro Apps when using El Capitan.

Thank you for help. Both computers are Yosemite 10.9. Any Comments?
One thing to check -
On the problem computer, in FCP, go to the menu Final Cut Pro > System Settings.
Click on the Playback Tab.
Set the Gamma Correction to Approximate.

Thank you MD, but still the same. Cannot get auto neutral color.

When FCP begins to act in unexpected ways, the usual first step is to trash your FCP Preferences.
Common FCP Troubleshooting tips
You can either do this manually, or use Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free) to do the heavy lifting for you:

which will also allow you to store a copy of your existing preferences, before removing them should you want to revert.
Your preference will be reset to default settings the next time you launch FCP.
You will need to set your preferences after doing so to reconfigure FCP if you have varied from the default settings

Hi MD, still doesn't work even reset preferences (with the free software recommended. Any other options?
I don't have any ideas, sorry.
There is always the nuclear option of reinstalling the software, but my experience is that rarely fixed this kind of issue.
Let's see if someone else can help.

Thanks, MD. Just wait for hoping someone knows.
