Grabbing colours using the eyedrop tool outside of the Photoshop window.

[BulletsFly]

Step 1. Select the 'eyedrop' tool

Step 2. Hold down the left mouse button on your document ( make sure you have photoshop window nice and small and you can see the colour that you would like clearly)

Step 3. Drag the mouse across to the colour that you want, be it in internet explorer or whatever you want it to be in.

Step 4. Let go of the mouse and it will have the colour selected as the primary colour.

Step 5. Enjoy!



See image above for a short Gif tutorial on what it should look like.

Thanks,

Well many people don't actually know how to do this so I thought i would throw it out there.

This is from my many a tutorial on HF.

And I guess i could bring out more if needed.
