Paint Shop Pro 8 problem....

[Hollywood]

I'm going out of my tree here and on the brink of insanity!

This was working before so I must of changed the setting somehow.

Here's the problem,

When I select the Dropper tool (in the tools tool bar) to click on an image to match a certain color, the color comes up in the materials palette like it's suppost to.

Now,

when I select Paint Brush to do some coloring, the color switches on me to the previous color that I had selected from the color palette while in paint brush.

Therefore changing the color on me! (the one I selected by using the dropper tool)

I know it's something simple so please tell me how to fix it so I can feel like an idiot. :cry:

[biker_jim_uk]

are you using the dropper whilst in a vector layer?

Any file that I open, a normal picture, bmp, jpg, png etc.... this happens.

I use the dropper to select a color, click on paintbrush, and BAMM, my color gets changed to the previous color selected in paintbrush.

OK, I realized that I can select a color while in paintbrush by holding down control and left clicking on an image somewhere. :wall:

This works for me! Still can't figure out my dropper problem.
