Can Illustrator 11 sample colors from a placed Photoshop file? I really miss this feature that was available with the eyedropper in 8 does anyone know a workaround in 10?

Digital Color Meter (incl w/ MacOS) can sample for you.

We had this problem in 10, double-click the eyedropper tool and go to appearance -> transparency and uncheck it.

Now you can sample colors from any placed file.

You can also just hold shift and retain the transparency feature—either way works.

Give me ambiguity or give me something else.
