Do you find yourself looking at images online and just falling in love with a particular color? Whether it is in an article of clothing, on a scrapbook page, or in a Pinterest post, you WANT that color!
Here’s a quick tip on how to snag that color, using Photoshop: (This tip works the same way in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.)
- Have Photoshop open, alongside the web page from which you want to copy the color. (I have Photoshop open next to a Pinterest page.)
- You will need to have a document open in Photoshop. I have a blank document open.
- Click and hold down the eyedropper on the Photoshop document.
- Drag the eyedropper tool onto the web page from which you would like to copy a color.
- When the eyedropper is hovering over the color you would like to copy, let go of your mouse.
- The color will appear in the Color Picker in Photoshop as the Foreground color.
Press and hold down your mouse over a blank document
That’s it! I love using this tip when browsing Pinterest, especially!
Brilliant!
I learned this once but it seemed more complicated. Thank you for your super simple method here! This is so helpful!
That is really neat. Is there a way to save that color for later use?
Great Question! I’ll make that next week’s tutorial! Thanks!
thank you!!
Awesome mini tut Karen! Thank you. I have tried a number of times to do this and couldn’t figure out how! 🙂
Wow! Great!
