                  Painting Tools in Photoshop


                 In the previous chapter, you have learnt about various painting tools. Let's learn about some            115
                 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 colors 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 from the keyboard.
                 Step 3:  Click on the colour that you want to use from your                Using Eyedropper Tool

                          image.  The  selected  colour  becomes  your  new
                          foreground or background color.


                 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 specific texture applied

                 to it and you want to copy that same texture to the cone, you would use the 3D Material
                 Eyedropper Tool.
