The Colour Pick Tool
The Colour Pick Tool is selected from the Image Palette Box. It’s one of the tools used for getting colours from an image.
To use it, click on the desired point on an image. If the Pick Tool recognises the selected colour from the palette, then that palette entry will be selected. If the colour is not recognized, then the current “ink” is set to that colour, with no palette colour selected.
After this tool has been used once, the previous tool used will be reselected.
To lift a colour from an image and place it in the palette, use the Colour Pick/Drop tool.
