Hello!

I have another Photoshop question that I can't Google:

I often use the pencil tool and I sample colors with it by pressing "option". Doing this had always placed the sampled color in the foreground box so I could switch colors with one click.

Now, without me changing anything, doing this places the color in the background color box instead. This causes me to have to switch foreground and background colors each time I sample colors while using the pencil. Using the actual "eyedropper" tool still puts the color in the foreground box, but using it from the pencil does not.

Please help if you can, this is driving me crazy.

Ocho, open your actual color sliders pallet. There, look at the two swatches. Click the foreground one, you should see a very light box show up around it. That's is where your trouble is coming from ^^. Sometimes people touch that thing, and of course Adobe uses it to pull shenannigans on us all. See if that help!

Ms. bassanimation, occasionally you amaze me.
