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?

  • 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

  • Three-Way Color Corrector eyedropper tool works only on the second screen in OSX Maverick

    Hello

    Since the update to the Mavericks at work on Monday, I was unable to use the eyedropper tool to the three way color corrector on a dual monitor configuration in first Pro CC.

    I have all of my panels, outside of my program monitor Panel, on a screen. When I select the Eyedropper to the three way color corrector white balance and go to the second screen where my program Panel is, he turns his back on an arrow and I cannot select anything. When I move my Panel program to display as well as others it allows me to use it as usual. Unfortunately, this is not how I work and I would like that the program works normally.

    I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and found a solution. I will report to bug right now.

    Thank you.

    Hi Punker,

    Thanks for posting the workaround. It is a known issue that we're investigating. FOW now workaround is to:

    GoTo > System Preferences > Mission Control.

    Uncheck "screens have a separate space.

    System disconnection or re - start.

    The problems must be solved.

  • CS5 - trying to create a video menu background - rendered preview menu not to see the video, only bottom black.

    I created my own custom menu, and I'm trying to attach a .m4v video (using the selector of whip) as the background video.

    I created my menu using Photoshop, and the buttons work correctly. For the background in the Photoshop file, I created a layer named "background" and black - painted there the visible value according to the other forum posts.

    When I try to get a glimpse of the menu, it is only showing black (with the keys works properly). I saw the preview and still couldn't see any video. Help please!

    Thank you

    Too bad, I thought of it. I used the rectangle tool to draw a black box over the entire surface, then converted the smart object layer. I'll leave this for anyone who might have encountered the same problem of beginner like me.

  • Adobe Reader highlight tool is more full of text, simply create a line around the text

    The highlight in Adobe reader tool no longer works as before.  Instead of filling the text, as it is used, the tool creates just a line around the text.  This makes it much harder to identify strengths.

    I am running Win 8 and using Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.09.

    I have attached a screenshot to illustrate.  The way the tool used to work, they testify as I want it, highlight all the text in the document.  As it is it currently works, is shown on the first line of the text, where a part of the text was highlighted with the tool as it works now.  I have just created a yellow line around the text.

    I checked how the highlight settings are both the former highlight text and the new text, and they look identical.  Percentage of the color settings and opacity are the same.

  • 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.

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

    1.png

    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%.

  • Why the eyedropper tool is not copy text format?

    Hi guys,.

    I'm new here and just started using InDesign CC.

    I know that with the eyedropper tool, you can choose a color and copy it somewhere else but I read it must also collect format attribute s (characters, the font size, color, etc.) and apply it to the rest of the text. However, it seems that this is not an option in my mac. Whenever I try to copy text attributes, it only takes the text color (usually black) and not the format.

    Also when I double click the eyedropper icon I get not the Options menu of the pipette, where you can choose the contour settings, fill, character, paragraph & object but just the Options menu of color theme where I can only tick ' ignores the opacity and other effects applied everything by choosing colors '.

    Do you know the guy why my eyedropper can not pick up text attributes?

    Thank you very much.

    Click and hold on the color theme tool to get the eyedropper tool.

  • Thick vertical black line on the entire length of the page

    I have a HP LaserJet M1530 MFP Series PCL 6.  When I print normally there is no mistake in the image, but when I make a copy I have a thick vertical black line on the entire length of the page. The black line is about 2 inches from the left edge of the page. The problem is older than the current drum cartridge which was just replaced a couple of months. Never, the problem occurs with a normal printing, copy only and occurs with every copy without exception. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

    I have problems with my HP 8600N911g.  I have several vertical black lines on the printed page of right hand margin.  This only happens when I copy or scan. Printing from my pc is fine.  I did all the cleaning, cutting for over an hour and reset to factory default.  NOTHING WORKS.  Help, please.  I love the printer hp but tire of their problems, which are few, but when they occur, they are doozies.

    Hi peggymay.

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    Sorry to hear that you are having problems with black lines on your scans or copies.  I had this problem myself on my 8600 very clean and I was able to get it to be resolved. The question arises in fact from two locations and with a little luck, we can get this problem solved for you. First thing to look at is under the hood of the scanner. Lift the cover on the left of the large scanner glass and scanner, you will see a small strip of glass. Take a glass clear cleaner and a lint cloth and clean the small glass placed as well as the large glass. On the underside of the lid, you will see a white plastic strip. Please clean it as well. IF you have already done these steps please proceed to the next step.

    The printer power cable must be connected to a wall outlet and NOT a power strip/Bar. HP printers have built in surge protector and if you have it plugged into a strip/Bar, the printer will NOT get all the power needed for the proper functioning and it will cause problems with scans or copies, and it might even generate false error messages on the printer screen.

    Please try these steps and if they work, fantastic. But if they are not, please do not hesitate to write me again.

    I thank very you much for your time.  Always happy to help.
