When working with the brush tool in Photoshop, I must have hit a key that produced a mark over the work.

I don't know what it is and don't know how to get rid of it.

When I hit the pointer tool, it disappears, but when I go back to the brush, it appears again. HELP!

Below is a screenshot

It's the Color Sampler tool.

Use it together with the Info Panel. You can add an adjustment layer and it will show you before and after values. A very useful tool for colour matching. (The numbers never lie — I expect our Dag will say that numbers can out lie Donald Trump in the right circumstances)

Thanks! I just get frustrated when things pop up while I'm working. I didn't know what to call it or ask without a screenshot. I guess that works well for CYMK color printing, as colors change using different stocks and finishes.
