The Color Picker tool allows you to sample color
from an area of an image, and to designate a new
shadow or highlight point.
With the Color Picker tool, you can determine the
color values for any pixel in an image. When you
click on the Color Picker tool and pass over a pixel,
the value of that pixel will be displayed in the
Information window, based on the sample size also
selected in the Information window. Pixel-value
information is useful especially when you're making
color adjustments based on color values. (For more
details, see the section The Information Window.)
