I've recently bought the full version of illustrator CC for PC. I've been using Adobe draw on my ipad pro and sent the file through the CC cloud to my notebook. I'm somewhat familiar with illustrator but I'm having trouble with the gradient tool color picker, I want to select the gradient color with the eyedropper tool from the base image, is there a way to do this?

Thanks

If what you're asking is how do I sample a placed image for color to create a gradient based on those colors. See screen shot below:

In the first picture above I sampled the gold and when I did it shows up in the fill square in the Gradient Panel. I then drag it to the left of the gradient bar and a gradient stop with that color is created. I then sampled the brown of the window sill and moved its color to the right of the gradient bar.

I'm running Illust CC 2018 on a Mac, I can't find any means of doing this color sampling. The eyedropper tool is not present in gradient color dialog, and regular eyedropper tool doesn't seem to interact with gradient dialog. Only options seem to be to enter color value (CMYK / RGB / grayscale) or select a swatch.

Shouldn't there be an eyedropper tool in there?

Bro this is so easy man, just open the gradient window, and select one side of gradient color you want to change(select the left or right small rectangle at gradient slider...you know what i mean), select it, and then press "i" or select the eyedroper tool, and the hold shift and click on any image to select the color you want, voila, the gradient color is changing, no need to use swatch, etc, hope it helps

Sorry for being a grinch here, but this thread with its assumed "correct answer" – among hundreds or thousands similar ones – shows one weakness of the Correct Answer system.

The OP asked something that wasn't entirely clear, got two answers that may apply or may not apply. Then the OP answered to his own question and declared that he got it.

After that an uninvolved third person marked one of the two answers as correct although it was not obvious what "OK got it thanks" meant and to what answer it was referring to.

That's a bit childish. And misleading.

Happy to help. By the way after you create the gradient drag the square that shows the gradient in the upper left of the panel into the Swatches Panel so that it will stay available for future use.

If by "base image" you mean a gradient filled path, you can Shift (key) click with the Eyedropper (while the path is not selected).
