David.P Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I'd simply like to pick a color from the bitmap layer, but it wouldn't let me: An hour ago, this DID work. Why oh why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Looks like due to transparency, you have a transparent background and where you try to select from might be an transparent area. Try on some nontransparent color fill objects/elements.

Alfred Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 The colour picker is picking up the base colour, not the apparent colour. The picked area in your example is semitransparent.

David.P Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 Ideally, I'd like to pick color AND transparency...? And I can do so in the Pixel Persona. How can I apply this picked Pixel color to my vector? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Can’t you simply copy the source object and then ‘Paste Style’ to the target object?

David.P Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 The source object is a certain pixel of a bitmap. Well for now I transferred color and transparency of that pixel manually via brain™ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can pick it in the Pixel Persona, then the small color well in the Color panel will have the color in it. To assign it as the Fill of your vector object just select the object and click on that small color well.

David.P Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 But the small color well shows the vector object's color as soon as I select it, not the pixel's color anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 The small well is on the right of the eyedropper. It is only set by using that color picker.
