Hi all — Using CS2.
Typically I’ll use the eyedropper to sample a color anywhere on the screen. I have always done this by clicking and holding on the current document and mousing to another open document, the layers palette to pickup a shape’s color, or a web window in the background…
For some time when I try this technique it does not work. Even in the current document if I mouse outside the canvas onto the background (which is usually HSB 0 0 75%) selects as HSB 0 0 25%!
When I try to select color in a different document using this technique the results are not predictable… sometimes it gives me the compliment and other times it is close to a compliment, like a split compliment color.
This is very strange behavior and occurs on two different machines.
I noticed that one need not hold down the mouse button any more to select color from another document but this doesn’t help me with the old expected behavior of selecting color off the layers palette or from a window in another application.
Any thoughts appreciated.
