: Photoshop CC colour picker is wrong My colour picker is set to point sample, so it is not mixing colours, I am also on the correct layer. Does anyone know whats going on and how to fix

@Smith574

The layer you are painting on might be on different blending mode. Check if its on normal mode. If not then change it to normal. Also make sure opacity is 100%.

This may be a solution:


To fix this, when the eye dropper is selected, change the sample size at the top to Point Sample


If thats no fix, here is another ressource:


A lot of Photoshop problems can be fixed by dumping the preferences
file: While launching Photoshop, Hold down Alt+Ctrl+shift on the PC or
Cmd+Option+Shift on the mac. When asked to reset the preferences say
yes. Before you do this, save your custom Patterns, actions, styles,
brushes, gradients, shapes and color pallettes. These will also be
reset. Tip: You can create an action to do this, so you have a one
click backup! (Don't forget to save the backup action first)
