Eyedropper tools

Eyedropper tools let you quickly choose a color

from one area of your document or image and

apply it to another area. These tools are useful

when you want to ensure an exact match with

an existing color in your project. You can also

use eyedropper tools to match colors from

images outside the image or document,

outside the application, or on the desktop.

To choose a color from an item on your

desktop, click the Color eyedropper tool

in the CorelDRAW toolbox, and click

Select from desktop on the property bar.

Then, click a color on your desktop.

Clicking Select from desktop on the property bar lets

you select a color outside CorelDRAW.

Eyedropper tools are also available for adding

colors to color palettes, dockers, and dialog

boxes.
