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.
