Hello! I have an issue with Krita and I wanted to see if there was something I could do about it.

When I use the eyedropper shortcut, and ctrl-click to pick up a color, it picks up a color that looks almost like the negative of the color I wanted. Someone mentioned (elsewhere) that this might be because of alpha lock or or 0% opacity layers, but I'm not sure.

Krita: Current version -- updated a couple days ago 4.4.3. I've had this issue for a while though, and was hoping it was something that might be fixed in an update (if it wasn't user error).
Current colorspace: RGBA 32bit default profile.
Windows 10 current update
NVidia GeForce GTX 1060 current drivers 465.89
AMD ryzen 5
63 G Ram

I do have the blend set to about 25% so that might be part of it too?

The Blend % is the amount of the picked colour that you blend with the current colour to give a new colour.
e.g. If the current colour is blue and you pick red with Blend = 25%, the new colour will be 25% red plus 75% blue.
So, if you want a 'colour picker', you use a Blend value of 100%. If you want colour mixing then you use a Blend value of less than 100%.

I want a mix. But when I pick up a light red and get a dark green, there's a problem.

If you convert your image colour space to 8-bit integer default profile (Image -> Convert Image Colour Space), does this problem still happen?

As a matter of interest, why are you using a 32-bit float colour space?

Probably changed it for a project and kept it. No real reason. So far I don't have the same issues, but it doesn't always happen. I will try that and see if it works. Thank you.
