ok, I use Photoshop a lot... but I can't figure this one out for the life of me...

when I use the eye dropper it puts the sampled color to the back of the color squares! I can't find a place where I can change it back to the fore ground....

is there a preference?

totaly dumbfounded... and it's probably one of these really simple problems

anyone know? oh, I'm using 6.0

I don't have 6 here, but in 5.02, go to "window"(top menu bar) ->show color -> you will see two squares like the "background/foreground" tool bar icon. Here you select whether the dropper picks up fore or back.

yeah in 5.x that would bring up the color palet that has options... but in 6.0.. the options are on the "options bar"... and the only option there is called "sample size"

can anyone that has PSD 6 help?

zac4mac is right. you can still do it from the color pallette in PS 6.
just make the pallette in the foreground, and select the top left box instead of the bottom right box. that's about it.

Or, just hit the x key to swap foreground and background swatches.
This is really handy when painting masks too
