Eye Dropper Issues

I'm trying to detect the color of a peice of a jpg image that I imported. I
choose the eye dropper tool and hover over several objects that I created
and get the color readings, just fine. But when I hover over the imported
jpg, I just get white, regardless of what color I'm actually hovering over.
Why can't the eye dropper detect the imported pic?
Thanks.
Jerry

Hello Jerry Camel,
Yea, that eye dropper takes some getting used to, but well worth it.
I tried it, click eye dropper, in menu bar make sure it says "sample
color", maybe use 1 X 1 pixtal, and click on "select from desktop"
click on the area you want color from then shift click to fill or out line
object you want the color on. I did notice on the 1X1, 3X3, 5X5 pixtal
selection I am thinking they are referencing your monitor pixtals and not
the raster pixtals.
Best of Luck to you and all in DrawLand!
Hope 13 is our Lucky number ;)

I'm missing something... Where do you select "Sample Color"? I don't see
that option anywhere. I can see the choices for 1x1 3x3, etc.. But nothing
about how or what I'm sampling. And that doesn't explain why I can sample
certain areas of the image and not others. I have no problem sampling the
colors from the objects that I drew, just the objects that I imported. I
can edit the imported objects and manipulate them is prety much any other
way, but can't sample the color.
Even if I copy and paste them - the copied objects won't sample either. I
don't get it.
