    Exclamation Eyedropper Tool Not Picking Up Color

    My eye dropper tool isn't picking up colors on the piece I've been working on. It works fine on new files and other drawings but not on mine..

    What am I doing wrong?


    Thank you so much if you can help me^^

    Hi,

    Considering I don't know where you're using the Dropper tool, it's hard to say if you're doing anything wrong and if so, what it might be.

    Try using File > Clone and using the Dropper tool on the Clone to see if that works.


    Good luck!

    I have had a few occasions in the past where the eye dropper wouldn't select certain areas of my image (tho I haven't had the problem in a long while). And I came to the conclusion that the file itself had been corrupted some how. So I saved it to .psd instead of .riff and reopened it and that seemed to sort it out. Saving it back to a .riff wasn't a problem.

    However I couldn't say that this is what your problem is. I think this occurred using version IX. Can't remember it happening in X.
