Choosing colors from an image or the desktop
You can choose a foreground or background color from any open
image, or from any color within Corel PaintShop Pro (such as a color
on a toolbar). This feature is useful when you want to use the color of
a specific icon, or when you want to match the Windows desktop
colors. You can also choose a color from other applications or from
Web pages displayed in a browser.
To choose a color from the active image with the Dropper tool
Edit workspace
1 On the Tools toolbar, choose the Dropper tool .
2 On the Tool Options palette, set the options you want:
• Sample Size drop-list — specifies the pixel area for sampling
• Use all layers check box — mark this check box to sample from
all image layers
3 Click a color in the image to make it the foreground color, or
right-click to make it the background color.
You can also choose a color from the image while using brush
tools, such as the Paint Brush or the Eraser tool, by holding
down Ctrl and clicking in the image to choose a foreground
color or right-clicking to choose a background color.
To choose a color from the desktop
Edit workspace
1 Make sure that the color you want is displayed on the screen.
2 In the Materials dialog box, click the Sample Color button
3 Position your pointer over the area of the desktop that has the
color you want. This includes other open windows or displayed
Web pages.
