Why is my eyedropper tool not working in Illustrator?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:58 pm

Illustrator is a popular vector graphics editor that allows users to create illustrations, logos, and graphics. One of the tools that Illustrator users rely on to create graphics is the eyedropper tool.

This tool allows users to copy color from one area of the screen to another.

PRO TIP: If you are having trouble with your eyedropper tool in Illustrator, there are a few things you can check. First, make sure that you have the correct layer selected. The eyedropper tool will only work on the current layer. Second, check the opacity of the layer you are trying to sample. If the layer is set to less than 100% opacity, the eyedropper tool will not be able to sample it. Finally, make sure that you are not zoomed in too far. The eyedropper tool will not work when zoomed in closer than 800%.

If your eyedropper tool is not working, there are a few possible reasons. First, make sure that the tool is enabled in Illustrator. You can find the tool in the Tools panel or the Window menu. Second, make sure that the tool is set to the correct tool mode. You can find the tool mode in the Tools panel or the Window menu. Third, make sure that the tool is positioned over the area that you want to copy the color from. Fourth, make sure that the tool is activated by clicking on the tool icon in the Illustrator toolbar. Fifth, make sure that the color that you want to copy is selected in the tool’s color palette.

Sixth, make sure that the color that you want to copy is within the range of the tool’s color palette. Seventh, make sure that the color that you want to copy is not protected by a layer. Eighth, make sure that the color that you want to copy is not inside of a path. Ninth, make sure that the color that you want to copy is not inside of a shape. Tenth, make sure that the color that you want to copy is not inside of a layer that is locked. If you still cannot get your eyedropper tool to work, you may need to troubleshoot the issue.
