The eyedropper tool samples only a fill

• 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.

• 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.

  

• 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.

• 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.

  Best,

• 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.

• 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 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.

  Flash drop eye - Aviv73 library bug report

  I can't really take any color on the job, it will give me the right color with the exception of the shade.

  I use the pro 3 surface with adobe flash professional cc 2014.

  I don't know if it's the color temperature, the screen rotation or resolution 2160 x 1440 she uses. Help will be greatly appreciated.

  Edit:

  Has n done, my adobe is exactly the same thing in this video.

  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.

• 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%.

• The eyedropper tool does not work in the levels, curves adjustments

  I have installed PS CS 5 extended on a new computer with Vista Home Premium. Any other version of Photoshop has already been installed on this system.

  The problem I encounter is the eyedropper tools in the two curves and levels adjustment does not work. The real sliders seem to work fine, but clicking on a dropper and then a spot on the photo has no effect at all on the image.

  I encounter this problem when I run the 64 bit version of the program. It occurs only in the standard version of CS5, I need to continue to use because of plugin incompatibility with the 64-bit version.

  I checked what is obvious and ensure that the 'Preview' is checked, and that I have the correct layer selected!  

  
  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

  I'm sorry to hear that none of those things cleaned up the problem for you.  I am almost sure this is a video driver issue, and it is unfortunate that the latest version of the driver does not solve it.  As a general statement: the Intel GPU and OpenGL drivers are known to be problematic with Photoshop.  A good number of people with Intel GPU report a problem on this forum.

  Just to be absolutely sure...  You have disabled the drawing OpenGL, closed and reopened in Photoshop, and the problem remains the same?  Have you tried both ways after the release of the pilot?  Make sure and close and reopen Photoshop after the change is made.

  There is another thing you could try...  Clear preferences for Photoshop 32-bit.  Press and hold Ctrl - Shift - Alt immediately after you start Photoshop of its menu item or a shortcut.  If you're fast enough, you will be asked if you want to restore all of the default preferences.

• The eyedropper tool does not work on mac + wacom

  Well - spent months and yet no update. The eyedropper tool won't come color using a wacom + a mac... and when you do that with the trackpad is not always the same exact color. I don't understand why this has not been set. The problem with the wrong color lasts for years--picking the wacom/mac problem lasts for at least 6 months. Please... put some serious effort into your product AND support.

• 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.

• paint bucket and the eyedropper tool locked.

  Hey all.

  Just downloaded and started using photoshop and the eyedropper tool is locked and also the paint bucket.

  Tried to look at other alternatives, but do not yet have a solution. Any ideas on the unlocking of this would be very appreciated.

  Have you checked your permissions for Photoshop itself? You have all permissions for the version you are using? If this isn't the case, it's maybe why you can not use some tools. You can check and see if you have all the permissions for your version. If you are sure that you should maybe try a full uninstall with a deletion of file Photoshop 2015 and reinstall.  Source files cannot be installed correctly when they were mining and get on your computer. If you have saved your work in your Photoshop source file, try moving to a place of course before do you however. So you don't take any .psd files. When you reinstall it should not touch the .psd files. You will, however, when you do this, if you want to remove your preferences because they can ask questions.

• 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.
