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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

    I have several drawings that I did in flash and I can't fill any of them. IV done all the drawings with the pen tool and they are all sealed, but the tool won't let me use it.

    Although as a point sometimes it SEEMS closed, but it is not yet the extent of the Flash is concerened. In any case, glad you figured it out! To get rid of the object box, select the part of the drawing and press CTRL-B, and it will flatten the drawing to be all one piece.

  • Why the knife tool does not leave gaps in the form? (CS6)

    When I use the knife on a shapeit tool leaves a space where I cut. First I thought it was just an illusion in the program, but there again I exported the image (both by "save under" in illustrator and 'export' in inDesign). I was making sure not to move the shapeafter I used the tool, so I don't think there should be a reason.

    I tried on different types of forms such as normal circles and more complex shapes. I also tried to start a new file from scratch but with the same result that be the reason? Is there a setting I should be aware of?

    That's what I see in Illustrator:

    knifetool.png

    And that's what the image looks like when saved as pdf (in illustrator):

    knifetoolpdf.png

    It also appears even if I placer place in inDesign, then export to PDF.

    EDIT: I don't know if it's important, but the size of the form is approximately an A4 or there is everything.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • What. The. Heck. Why my eyedropper tool do that?

    Hi all

    I'm drawing a circle with my elipse tool. I want to be the center of my origin circle I draw. I know that this is done holding alt + shift while dragging.

    Here's my problem. I can shift key to go around, but cannot use alt in combination to make the open circle with its centre. The eyedropper tool appears as if I use my tool to paint instead of the ellipse tool.

    Someone has an idea what I touched by accident to modify its behavior in this way? I know I could remove preferences, but would rather not if I can help it...

    Thank you

    Darling

    Maybe it's the order with a click of a pressing?

    First - click with the mouse

    Second - Press the ALT key

    Third - Press the SHIFT key

  • 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.

  • In Illustrator eyedropper tool does not not on pasted image Photoshop

    Hey,.

    I copied images of 3 different layers in Photoshop into Illustrator. One is an overview, another is a color fill and the last is a filled ellipse. When you try to use the eyedropper tool to get a color used in the fill color, it does not only show black or white. But he'll be looking for the fill color of the ellipse. It captures the other colors in the end document that I drew in Illustrator.

    Any idea what I need to do to make this work? I am at a loss.

    Thank you!

    Mike

    Thanks Mike!

    I think I knew what was going on. The pipette was picking up only the color of the outline layer so only became black when on a sketch and white when it is on the color fill area. If I delete the outline and left only the fill color and the pink background, the pipette works. The outline was blocking the pipette to access to the color fill. Don't know exactly how it works as the outline is not filled with color (obviously, otherwise the color fill below wouldn't show through). It is not completely transparent - it is just a preview.

    They are all copied to a new document on the same layer, but grouped. So I have to either remove the outline layer or disable in the - I'm not sure of the terminology here - layers that are in the layer (?).

    Hope that makes sense - thanks for your brainstormage, Mike and ton!
