Eyedropper Tool Options

Starting in CS6, the Eyedropper tool has 3 new settings (found in the Options panel) for sampling colors. They are, “Current & Below” (samples the current layer and any layers below it), “All Layers no Adjustments” (samples all but Adjustment layers), and “Current & Below no Adjustments” (samples the current layer and any layers below except Adjustment layers).

These Eyedropper options help you save time and you no longer have to turn off visibility of Adjustment layers to sample a colors.
