Hello all,

I am having a problem with the colour selection using the eyedropper tool while using the gradient mesh tool. I select the point using the arrow tool (white) then with the eyedropper tool, I sample the point but it usually returns the redish colour of the gradient mesh. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the link LSR84. I guess the issue has not been resolved.

Have you tried using the lasso tool (Q) circle and select the point you want then picking the eyedropper tool (I)? Also if you are sampling color from another image press CMD(CTRL)+Y to view your document in outlines. The color of the image will still be seen if it is raster.

The selected point will fill with the color that you are sampling from your image.
