im probably doing something really dumb but i cant figure it out. It appears CC has changed the alt key shortcut to the mixer brush (in rgb mode) i want to switch it back to color picker. Keyboard shortcuts wont seem to let me choose alt as an option. How do i swap it back?

@maina1234 click the foreground swatch in the color panel to highlight what Alt is selecting.

The newest versions of Photoshop do not allow the color picker to be alt anymore. I cannot find an answer for the life of me. My only solution to this is download Photoshop in a version that is 2020.

Actually, here it´s still the ALT key, but before, in previous versions, it was working to select the foreground color, and now it goes to background, and now this is very anoying to work with colors and digital painting. I tried to find where can I change this command in Edit > Keyboad Shortcuts, but I couldn´t find it there. Do anyone knows how can I change it to the way it was before? 🙂
