I upgraded to the new photoshop the 22.1 version and now I don't have the bigger swatches panel. I only have a colored line to the right  that is adjusted by a slider. HOw can i get the  swatches panel with the little colored boxes?

Hi @Valc2 

 

To see the old swatches, open the Swatches panel menu and select Legacy Swatches. To learn how the new Swatches work, see here:

    hi Jane e

    Thank you again for your reply. another problem I have been having is the eyedropper tool keeps coming up when I have not selected it. How do I get rid of it or do I need to choose a new tool?


    Hello, if you hold the ALT/Option key while a brush tool is in use, it will trigger the eyedropper.

    Likewise if you hold the "I" key.
