how do i use the eyedropper tool properly please?
Hi
Hope you can help please.
Usually this works fine for me no problem but when I try and select and fill a circle with the background colour (grey in this case) using the eyedropper tool and then pressing shift for the paint bucket tool to fill the empty box it fills it with a different lighter grey colour than the background colour I chose even though the small box on the paint bucket tool shows the correct colour.(Screen grab wouldn’t show bucket just small box) I have tried adjusting the sample size and object attributes with no joy.
Any ideas please – driving me mad as used to be fine.
Thanks
Russ

The way we use the eyedropper is having the ‘color’ docker on the screen… accessed Windows > Dockers > Color
Select the shape and it updates… then select the new shape and press Fill or Outline with whatever we need.
Dont really know what could be causing your problem tbh

Try selecting the original object – right click drag onto new object and release – left click ‘copy fill here’ does than make any difference? if not relaunch draw with f8 pressed and accept factory default workspace. If you have customised workspace save first and reload after Corel launch.
If that doesn’t do it not sure what the problem is, what colour model are you using?

Thanks for the help guys.
Have tried both of your suggestions and still no good. What I can’t understand is that it worked no problem last week and the paint bucket tool shows the correct colour when about to fill. Its a jpeg that I’m trying to sample from and hide part of the picture by placing a circle over it with the background colour before exporting as a PDF proof for a customer.
Afraid I don’t know what colour model I’m using.
Thanks anyway.
