Posted: Thu Mar 09, 2006 11:45 am Post subject: Backwards Eyedropper Problem |
|
|
I'm using photoshop CS1 for the PC. I was doing a project when, while using the brush tool and pressing alt to switch to the eyedropper from the brush tool, it stopped placing the colors i selected into the foreground box, and instead put them into the background box. When i went to use the eyedropper on its own, it continued doing this, and only selects the color for the foreground when I hold down the ALT key.
I'm using a tablet but I dont think thats part of my problem, as it behaves the same way with the mouse.
I am not sure what I pressed/selected to change the setting. Any input would be really apprecaite.d

I tried to reproduce this but mine just reverts to normal after I let go of the alt key, I'm baffled sorry. Wayne
