• Change the text color with the eyedropper tool

  I've seen cc Photoshop tutorials where you can change the text color by using the eyedropper tool on the color swatch Panel. When the text is selected and the color swatch Panel is open. When I chose is which color I want out the color swatch Panel all them it does to change the foreground color and return to the soil box, why it changes the color of the text, as I have seen in tutorials?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  When highlighted often is difficult to tell what color the text. You can work around this by doing the above, pressing ctrl-H or cmd - H on the keyboard and the highlight will be removed, but the text remains selected. Its exactly the same procedure that you use to make the mobile dotted lines disappear just leaving an active selection. Obviously the text tool must be still in use for all this to work with text.

• How to sample the color with the eyedropper tool and have it be the foreground color?

  How to sample the color with the eyedropper tool and have it be the foreground color?

  Use the keyboard shortcut to set the default foreground sample.

  The sample of foreground (top left in the screen shot) is visible and you just click on the color with the eyedropper tool to change.

  You can also use x to exchange the undertone in the foreground if you want to change that.

  

• Illustrator crashing into OSX El Capitan (when I use the eyedropper tool). When an update is available?

  Hi Adobe and family

  I upgraded to OSX El Capitan, last week and everything seems to be working for Photoshop and Illustrator.

  I am running CS5 but Illustrator was crashing when I use the eyedropper tool.

  I try downloading the update, but it gives me an error message.

  Anyone know if there is a specific update for El Capitan again?

  Hello world.

  I tweeted on Twitter @adobesupport. They returned to me an Adobe said no no longer support for CS5 or CS6.

  It is strategic to their side to prevent users to buy the latest version of the software, but unfortunately, this means for us who are pleased with our releases

  We are obliged either upgrade to CC or downgrade to Yosemite OSX or OS that supports are Adobe version.

  With regard to the eyedropper tool. The best solution I have found so far is to open the same image in Photoshop. Eye drops it and

  Copy the Sample Code in illustrator and click Add to swatches to have it registered for this particular design.

  Best regards, C.

• The eyedropper tool is unable to choose the correct colors.

  

  Hello, I am facing a strange problem with the eyedropper tool.

  The background is a gradient mesh (ignore the cross). I used the eyedropper tool (shift-click/normal-click both gave the same result) on the bottom and he gave me a strange result. As you can see, the background is blue - to-black gradation, but the color scheme is green-ish of nowhere.

  How can I solve this?

  It is only a problem with gradients as a gradient is an algorithm (formula) where all the colors are only those that are defined with the steps of color on the gradient tool (Control Panel). Intermediate colors are generated on the fly in the color space of the final output, which in this case is the color RGB (profile) of your monitor space. As a work around for what you can develop the gradient of steps or same rasterize is going to happen in the colorspace of the document and this will make all the color values actually described one by one in the illustrator vector object file or image raster and then the pipette will be able to take them as expected.

  A simple example that illustrates this: in a CMYK document, create a gradient with two stops in grayscale by 100% and 99%. then shift clicking on this slope will not come an expected color but if you spend the gradient in two steps, you'll get two items at 99% and 100%.

• Pick color with the eyedropper loads in the background color

  I'm not sure what would have caused this, but now all of a sudden, whenever I click on a color with the eyedropper tool, it loads this color in the background color instead of the sample of foreground. If I hold down the Option key and click, it loads in the sample of foreground, then the behavior is backwards. How to switch this back?

  It looks like somehow the default color sample is activated in the color Panel.

  In photoshop, go to the window > color

  Then click on the foreground swatch to make that the default.

  The default color chart always has a white or grey outside line.

  

• The eyedropper tool does not work with a hue saturation adjustment layer

  I use PS CC 2014, and the problem I have is that when I have to use the eyedropper tool to adjust the range of colors affected by an adjustment layer Hue/Saturation, rather than selecting the color in the Properties window for the adjustment layer, use the eyedropper closed the window properties and change the foreground color in my palette.

  Here's the real hitch... the same thing happened to me at the school last night where a) the Mac is older and CS6 b) is always used.

  It's something with my user settings, to be sure, because the teacher logged into his account on the Mac I was using in the class test, and it worked for him. We have logged on my account and it still does work for mine.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks for the ideas.

• The eyedropper tool samples only a fill

  Hi all

  Probably a really stupid question, but I have designed a form and fill colors United 1 2 gradient fills. I'm trying to use the eyedropper tool to sample styles on another form-, but it is only picking up a fill; the top one in my sample shapes appearances. I want to taste ALL fills in, but can't seem to do it - can someone put out me of my misery?

  Thank you very much

  Double-click the eyedropper tool and turn on the appearance.

  

• The eyedropper tool creates only a black line on the text.

  Whenever I use the eyedropper tool on a text, instead of picking up the font, color, and attributes of the text I dropper, it somehow just described my selection with a black outline. This has happened with any type of text, many different documents. I can't understand why he started all of a sudden. Ideas?

  See picture attached.

  

  Thank you.

• The eyedropper tool adjustable to pick up only the attributes on a layer active?

  I work in a package so I use several layers in a document. The top layer is an imported dieline (have or pdf) and it usually takes to the whole top of the artboard. If I'm on a layer of text (for example) and use the eyedropper tool to pick up the image of text attributes, it will attempt to retrieve the attributes of the dieline instead. This happens even if the layer dieline is locked. The only way I know to stop it is to turn off the top layers or place layer dieline under the text layer.

  Is there a way to put the dropper to select only the attributes on an active layer? Is there another way around this problem?

  Thank you!

  There is no adjustment of the eyedropper tool. He chose visually, without taking into account layers. The only workarounds are those you met: to disable the offending layer, or put it behind.

• Sampling of color using the 'Option' key while the Brush tool is selected (CS6)

  I'm used to 'Option' by clicking on a color, while using the Brush tool, to set the foreground color. In CS6, it updates the color background instead, even though the Panel clearly said 'Info' 'Click to choose the new foreground color' when I hold down the Option key. Which setting I'm missing?

  The foreground color is the active color in the color chart.

  Manually select the eyedropper tool and click on the option, updates the foreground color. Simply clicking, updates the background color

  Look in the color Panel. The shade with the Untied border shift around it is one that will be changed by Opt/Alt-click when you use the Brush tool. Click on the one you want.

• choice of colors with the eyedropper-TI pics as background color

  Confused!

  I read the help and see a Jan Kalibi tut on the color picker and the paint. The instructions indicate that the eyedropper tool is supposed to choose the foreground color, but...

  If I choose the pipette tool, is choosing and setting the background instead of foreground color, unless I have hold there alt kewhen the eyedropper tool is selected.

  When you use the Paintbrush tool that I'm supposed to be able to hold down I touch temp switch to the eyedropper tool, and then select the new foreground color and release the tool resets the brush, but once more the pipette is defining the background instead, color and the only way I can change colors is to use the X key to switch on the foreground color backgroung?

  The only way I can get the eyedropper tool to select the foreground color is actually select the eyedropper and hold down the alt key or if in a brush choose the key I hold and select the ALT at the same time which is quite inadequate.

  Is there something wrong here or it's me.

  Any combination of keys to use with the HUD color picker, it will only set the background choice color and I have to use the X key to move to the forefront.

  I thought it might be a problem related to using Open GPU settings but turning out that does not change the general problem.

  Thanks in advance

  Follow these steps:

  • Click on window - color to bring up the COLOR Panel.
  • Notice the black border around one of the two-tone icons at the top left.  It's a bit darker than the other.  I bet you have the lower-right - the background color.
  • Click the foreground color icon at the top left to move the black border there.  This will cause the foreground color to enjoy with the eyedropper tool here on unmodified.

• The eyedropper tool selects the wrong color, solutions?

  As the title suggests, he chose the right color.

  This is not my video, but it's basically like that except when he uses the color picker under the fill or paint tool. Mine is exactly the same way and even with the eyedropper tool.

  The pipette does not work for me when it comes to multiplayer layers and symbols within a symbol.

  I found a solution for me, I just use a new window with 1 layer and I throw all my symbols out and break them out of the side so that way I can select correctly the color precise I want with the eyedropper tool.

  Preferably, I would like a solution for this.
