Show the picker correcting something in the manual

The recording sampled a red brick wall and moved the sliders by three
units, which at GIF size is a click that does nothing. The scene now
drags the frame cold first and picks a white air conditioner, so the
correction is visible and the picker's being absolute - set from the
photograph, not from where the sliders were - is what the picture
shows. The text says so, and says a blown highlight is refused.

### White balance from the photograph
Press `pick` in the White Balance group, then click something neutral.
Press `pick` in the White Balance group, then click something neutral —
a white wall, a grey card, the air conditioner here. The picker sets the
sliders from the photograph, not from where they were: below, the frame
is dragged cold first and one click puts it right. A blown highlight is
refused, since a clipped pixel has no colour left to balance.
