Oh Magic Eye Dropper - Sample me everything...

The Eye dropper is quite the little character in photoshop. If you click on the eye dropper, you can sample any color within photoshop... BUT what about colors outside the program.

Step 1.
Select the eye dropper.



Step 2.
CLICK in your document and HOLD the mouse button down


Step 3.
Drag eyedropper outside and PRESTO... its now sampling colors outside the program.


Release when you have the color you want.

If you play with the sample size option in the eye dropper, it might help you select colors accurately. Especially if its some what pixelated.
