Hi all. Have searched forum and can't find duplicate of this issue.

Using Win 10, Krita 4.1.5 (although happens in 4.1.1 as well - not tested others).

Have set up the Colour Selector Tool options to only select from the current layer. This works fine when using that tool from the toolbar. When using Color Picker with the CTRL key shortcut it picks the actual color of the pixel under the dropper, not just the selected layer. (eg. i have an index colours filter applied to my image. Using CTRL key, instead of picking the colour from the painting layer it is actually picking whatever colour is on my screen)

Anyone know if this is by design, as I notice the icon is different when using the CTRL shortcut?

Thanks for any insight.

If you do Ctrl+Alt then you get the current layer colour picker (and the other icon).
Note that when using the Toolbox colour picker, the icon doesn't change between All Visible Layers and Current Layer mode. This may be a bug.

That's it!!

Thanks ahabgreybeard, that's solved that for me.

Out of curiosity then, is this something that I should have been able to easily find myself in the documentation? I did look through it but don't remember noticing anything about ctrl+alt being a slight modifier to just ctrl on it's own.

If it isn't easy to find in the documentation, are the Krita docs in a sort of wiki format that I could add this info to myself?

Thanks again. That is such a wonderful help for me.

I'm sure the krita development team would be very happy to have another volunteer working on the documentation.

You could read this: https://docs.krita.org/en/contributors_manual.html
and this: https://docs.krita.org/en/contributors_ ... rst-timers as an introduction.

It's not as simple as a wiki, presumably because of the need to maintain a strict review and control process.
