Eyedropper Tool

The Eyedropper Tool defines the foreground / background color.

  • In the Toolbox, select the Eyedropper Tool.
  • Click somewhere on your image to define the foreground color. Look how foreground selector on the Toolbox changes.
  • Alt-click (click holding down the [Alt] key) to set the background color. Look how the background selector on the Toolbox changes.
  • In the Options bar, you can change sample size (the Eyedropper's range):
    • the "Point Sample" picks up the color from the pixel you click on
    • all the other samples read average values from larger areas (movie).
