Electronic artists expend much of their creative energy deciding which of the
millions of available colors should fill those two slots. The actual steps involved,
however, can be quite simple.
To define foreground and background color:
1. Select the Color Pickup Tool on the Tools toolbar.
2. Left-click with the tool anywhere on an image to "pick up" the color at
that point as the new foreground color. Right-click to define a new
background color.
3. (Optional) On the Context toolbar, set the Sample Size (pickup
region) as a single "Point Sample" or a "3 x 3 Average" or "5 x 5
Average" area.
To switch temporarily to the Color Pickup Tool from a paint, line,
shape, fill, or text tool, hold down the Alt key, then click to define
the foreground color.

1. On the Color tab, move the mouse pointer (dropper cursor) around
the Color Spectrum. As you move the dropper cursor around the
spectrum, the preview swatch to the upper left of the spectrum shows
the color at the cursor position.
2. Left-click in the spectrum to set a new foreground color, and right-
click to set a new background color.
You can change this RGB spectrum to display in Grayscale, or show
the colors spread between the Foreground/Background colors (click
the button on the tab).
