                        PAINTING TOOLS IN PHOTOSHOP

                 In the previous chapter, you have learnt about various painting tools. Let's learn about some other
                 painting tools such as Eyedropper Tool, 3D Material Eyedropper Tool, Color Sampler Tool and Ruler Tool.

                      Eyedropper Tool

                 Eyedropper Tool lets you  change the foreground or background  colours by  lifting them  from the
                 image. It helps when you want to use an existing color in the image for another element. To use the
                 Eyedropper Tool, follow these steps:

                 Step 1:   Open the image in Photoshop from which you want to take
                         colour.
                 Step 2:   Select the Eyedropper Tool from the Tools panel or press the
                         I key on the keyboard.
                 Step 3:   Click on the colour that you want to use from your image.
                         The  selected colour becomes  your new  foreground or                Using Eyedropper Tool
                         background colour.

                      3D Material Eyedropper Tool

                 3D Material Eyedropper Tool works like the Eyedropper Tool. The only difference is that the Eyedropper
                 Tool lifts colours from 2D images and 3D Material Eyedropper Tool lifts material/pattern/texture from
                 3D models/objects. The image shows two 3D objects a cube and a cone. The cube has a texture. You
                 want to copy the same texture into the cone. Follow these steps to do so:
                 Step 1:  Select the 3D Material Eyedropper Tool from the Tools panel.

                 Step 2:   Check that the Cube layer is selected. Then move
                         the  3D Material Eyedropper Tool pointer and
                         click on the cube to lift the texture.
                 Step 3:   Select the Cone layer and click on the cone to fill
                         the copied  texture.  The selected  texture  will  be    Using 3D Material Eyedropper Tool
                         applied on the object.
