COlor picker not sampling correctly

[chadfza]

My colour picker is producing a color that is darker than the sample ... I can't match the color. This is the same for brush tool, clone tool or when I copy a section of image - all shows up darker. I have no adjustment layer impacting this or blending mode. Would appreciate your help!

What are your settings for the Eyedrooper Tool?

Specifically sampling of the layers?

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for responding ...

I have 'All Layers'selected ... I have also tried 'Current Layer' but this didn't make a difference ...

What are you actually trying to do? 

Have you tried »Current and Below«?
