| Summary | 0017043: Eyedropper not picking up correct colour | ||||
| Description | When selecting a colour from images, the eyedroppper only picks up a grey colour and does not take the image colour. May be OS specific, or may be something that I have done wrong in settings. Have tried to tweak everything that I felt might make a difference (colour profile on OS and on Scribus, and trying different images in different documents). | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Use eyedropper to try to pick a colour. | ||||
| Tags | color, eyedropper | ||||

I may be having the same issue. Ubuntu 24.10; Scribus 1.6.2; the eyedropper tool is unable to pick up the correct color from images. No matter what image I click on, or where in the image I click, it jumps to "Registration" in the color palette. If I try to apply the color to another element, it applies Registration -- the blackest black color. Have confirmed this happen on both PNG and JPG images. |

Update: on my system, this problem is related to the Wayland system. If I log into a user session using Xorg instead of Wayland, the tool works perfectly. I opened a separate bug report to add this information, but for anyone else experiencing this issue, if you're using a Wayland session, try Xorg. https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=17305 |
