Raise your hand if you love the Eyedropper Tool (typing one handed as my other one is raised).

This tool is not new by any means, but wow what a great measuring and formatting tool. Now that I think of it, I’ve loved this tool for 20 years. Amazing. But I digress.

At first glance, it seems this tool is for measuring, and that’s correct. Click on a photo and boom, you have the color in your Fill or Stroke ready to apply to text, frames, etc.

But wait, there’s MORE! It can capture more than just color. It can capture attributes from frames, like Fill and Stroke, transparency, and more. It can also measure text formatting and let you apply that to other text with a click.

It’s MAGIC!

Some of what we’ll go over in this Episode includes:

• Where is the Eyedropper Tool
• How do I grab colors from an image
• How do I empty the eyedropper to measure something else
• The Eyedropper Tool Options
• How to grab formatting from text and apply elsewhere
• How to use the eyedropper with text styles
• and much more
  

It’s easy to learn and use. You’ll succeed at first try, I’m convinced. And then you’ll see how much time it can save you on your next project.
