color picker tool
#1
hi all

i like this color so i'm using the color picker tool, so lets keep it straightforward;

i click on "color picker tool"
then i click somewhere in the image of the color i want

now where does that color go?

in the left pane, in the middle, theres 2 squares which say foreground color/background color, i click there and i don't see the color i just chose Sad

in the right pane, theres "color history" and i dont see it there neither Sad

this sucks! where is my color

if it helps you, using gimp 2.10.18

thx

Check how you configured the Color Picker options.
Among the available options, at least check the "Set foreground color" option, this way you will make the selected color your foreground color,
