Guydw Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'm a fairly new user of AP (after many years of PS), so I have a question: does anyone know what the sample size of the eye dropper tool is, and is the size adjustable (sometimes I need a 3 x 3 px size, sometimes 30 x 30 px is needed). Thanks in advance for the answer(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted January 7, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hi Guydw, Welcome to the forum The colour picker is a pixel size select only for a larger sample area use the brush tool and adjust to the required size then hold down the option (alt) key and press the mouse button and move the mouse slightly and the brush colour will change to match the colour below the brush.

Erwe Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 ... for a larger sample area use the brush tool and adjust to the required size then hold down the option (alt) key and press the mouse button and move the mouse slightly and the brush colour will change to match the colour below the brush. in version 1.4.1 of Color Picker unfortunately does not work that way. It is only the color of the center pixel used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgphoto Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Is there a way to select 5 by 5, 3 by 3, etc? Seems it is only doing 1 pixel color selection Quote iPad Pro 12.9 M1/Mac Mini M1, in that order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
