The eye dropper is not picking up (selecting) any colors when I try to change the color of shapes or text.

Anyone know how to fix this? Its very frustrating to have to input hex codes every time.

    I see there are many responses directed at "SAMPLE: ALL LAYERS"

    ...what worked for me was selecting SAMPLE SIZE: 3 by 3 average This can also be fond in the tool bar of the color picker tool

    Incredibly frustrating yes, 100% agree.

     

    I hope this helps!
