Cannot use eyedropper with text


Recommended Posts

There is a work around for this situation, you select the text and then use the eyedropper from the Colour's panel to select the colour and finally click on the Colour panel's Eyedropper's colour well to assign the colour to the still selected text.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.0 | Affinity Photo 2.4.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Hi Ronanski,

Please consult the link below when reporting bugs to us and try to include as much information as possible including a step by step receipe you're using to reproduce the issue.

Are you using Artistic Text or Frame Text, and do you only have a few characters selected, rather than the entire contents? If you only have a few characters selected then unfortunately you will need to use the Colour Panel's Picker to change the currently highlighted text. The Eyedropper Tool is designed to apply the colour to the entire object, and in this case it will be all of the text in the object, and not just the highlighted piece of text.
