CORRECTION: Mac Shortcut is Control + Option + Command + Click and Drag

[scomart]

You seem to be the only educator that knows about the right mouse button options. I use the brush size and harness option all the time. Now I will use this as well. Thanks!

You're one of top Photoshop experts here on YouTube. Great tutorials and content, you have great communication skills too.

I expected to be dissapointed but this actually blew my mind. Absolutely fantastic trick that will definitely save me some time!

[tonetburac]

Thanks for that shortcut.
Swatches is better in choosing colors coz you get an idea easily if you see choices than to visualize what color you want.

At first I was a bit disappointed this technique wasn't working w/Mac, then I saw the "Mac correction". . . .works beautifully. 👍🏽👍🏽

Unmesh, it might be worth mentioning that you can change the style and size of the Colour Picker in Edit>Preferences>General>HUD Colour Picker

While everyone is trying to quickly teach photoshop. Though actually slight down and help us understand what's going on. For the first time I feel like i'm actually learning, not just copying settings. Thank you

I had trouble making this work for the foreground color. No matter what I did using your method, only the background color changed. Then I found this online post: "Open the color palette, click the color that is the BG color, you'll see the grey square around it is now black, it is now the active color (likewise the FG has a grey outline now) Whenever you sample with the eyedropper, it will sample to the BG color. Want to switch back to sampling the FG color. just click that little FG swatch and it will work the way you expect."

I always learn something new from you. Thank you, Unmesh!

Thanks for the tipl!! I went and tested it right away. Pros: very fast and handy shortcut, easy to learn and get used to, ideal for digital drawing, you just pop out your palette with one step without having to do all this clicky choosing in the menu.
Cons: it conflicts with the eyedropper! one misclick and the eyedropper appears and it leaves tiny crosshairs with numbers on each color. I would like it to stay active and have "cancel" or "x" when I want it to go...

I like when tool appears just under the hand (cursor). Especially I like how pie menus works in blender and stuff like that as well. So it's great tip! Thank you!
