Activate Eyedropper in Gradient Overlay?

[pixeldroid]

Hello:

How do I activate the eyedropper in Layer Effects/Gradient Overlay/Color Picker?

Thanks.

Hi Pixeldroid,

 

Welcome to the Forums :)

 

If you click the Cog next to the Gradient overlay tab you should see the Layer Effects panel open. From here please click the Gradient button (See first screenshot) this will bring up the gradient slider (I just made that name up) Clicking the colour box (See second screenshot) should make the HSL colour wheel appear which has a colour picker on it :)

Yes, I have found all that, but nothing happens when I click on the eyedropper.  Same in the gradient tool.

Thx.

You have to click and hold on the circle next to the pipette and drag that to the colour you want to select :) Once you have selected your colour click on the circle to apply it to the gradient :) I have made a video below showing this!

Thanks.

You guys did a great job designing this software, it is taking me awhile to de-Adobe myself... B)

 

For anyone reading this, I'd also point out that when using the gradient tool, the color of the currently selected node shows up in the toolbar and can be double clicked to get a color picker.

 

Thanks again.

I vote that along with the made up name "gradient slider" we add "de-Adobe myself" to the terminology we use here in this forum.  :lol:
