                            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, 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 colour 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.         Using Eyedropper Tool
                             The  selected colour becomes  your new  foreground or
                             background colour.

                          Color Sampler Tool

                     Color Sampler Tool looks like an Eyedropper Tool with a target icon. It measures the colours you click.
                     You can use the Info panel to see the value of the colour pixels as you make colour corrections. The Info
                     panel displays two sets of colour values for the pixels under the pointer. The value in the left column
                     is the original colour value. The value in the right column is the colour value after the adjustment is
                     made. Follow these steps to use the Colour Sampler Tool:

                     Step 1:  Select the Color Sampler Tool from the Tools panel.

                     Step 2:   Click the colour you want to measure in an image. If required, choose a sample size from the
                             Options bar. Photoshop opens the Info panel automatically and shows you the numeric values
                             for that colour. You can also use up to four colour samplers to display colour information for
                             one or more locations in the image.

                                                                                        More on Adobe Photoshop 2024   49
