P: Can't use the Eyedropper tool due to a program error

[Frans van der Vleuten]

Hello,

When I try to use the Eydropper tool when coloring in a path in Photoshop, I get the error 'Could not use the Eyedropper tool due to a program error'. (translated from Dutch). I added a video of what happens as an attachment to this post.

It only shows this error when I thy te recolor a path (rectangle or such). The normal Eydropper tool works just fine.

Anyone having the same problem?

Bonjour, 

Je suis sur photoshop 2024, pour la colorisation de photos en noir et blanc avec Neural filter, tout va bien, les couleurs apparaissent, je peux faire des modifictions apres le Ok et je reviens sur photoshop, je mets un masque de fusion, jusque la tout va bien aussi je peux modifier, effacer etc... Ensuite je mets un nouveau calque de remplissage, je fais tout ce qui doit etre fait jusqu'a l'apparition du selecteur de couleur, la pipette apparait, je la positionne sur une couleur que je voudrais chosir, mais rien ne se passe.

Je fais la mème chose sur mon PC portable qui est sur photoshop 2023 et la ça fonctionne.

J'ai réessayé es dizaines de fois sans succès. 

J'ai besoin de votre aide merci.

This was fixed in November 2023 in Adobe Photoshop Version: 25.2.0 20231101.m.2385 38bb2d3 arm64. Is it working for you now?

Apologies for the long delay in seeing your post.

Photoshop (Beta) Versión 25.5.0 / Mac Os Monterrey Versión 12.7.1 (21G920)

Al querer cambiar el color de una capa de forma doy doble click en el icono de la ventana, abre el -Selector de color- trato de tomar una muestra con el -Cuentagotas-, logra tomar la muestra pero inmediatamente sale un aviso: 

No se ha podido usar la herramienta Cuentagotas porque ha habido un error de programa.

El aviso tiene un botón con -Cómo Solucionarlo- pero no aborda el problema.

También sucede lo mismo usando en -la barra de Herramientas- -Configurar color frontal- y tomar muestra con el -Cuentagotas-.

Hi all,

Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)
Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut
With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.

When I try to capture color with a vector object using the Eyedropper I get a program error!

[gkhndesign]

I cannot select color from an image in a rectangle with the eyedropper tool, the program gives an error, I tried it on many documents and I get the same error, so I think it is an error caused by Photoshop or is there a solution?

Yo seguía teniendo el mismo problema pero regresé a una versión anterior y se corrigió.
