Question

Eyedropper showing wrong color but selecting correct one

This is in Photoshop version 25.12.0, on Windows 11.

 

When I use the eyedropper, the ring around the outside showing the color bing selected is wrong - it seems to have a yellow-green bias to it. But it's important to note that it does select the correct color - it's just that the preview ring is showing the wrong color. So this isn't the type of issue where I need to fuss with sampling all layers, etc - the tool is selecting colors just fine.

 

See the screencap below where I'm selecting from a pure white image, and the ring is yellow-greenish. The color selected is pure white, though. Sorry - the eyedropper icon disappeared when I took a screencap, but it shows up correctly.

Perhaps this bug should now be moved back to Photoshop Classic forum since 12.12.0 is no longer Beta?

Thank you!   I'm having this problem too and am using 25.12.0.  Glad it's not just me.

This is fixed in the latest Ps 25.13 beta, but it is not fixed in Ps 25.12.

Hi , I've moved your post from the Photoshop forum to the Photoshop Beta forum where you are more likely to get replies relevant to your issue.
