Sample Options For The Eyedropper Tool

Before Photoshop CS6, the Eyedropper Tool was able to sample colors from either “All Layers” or the “Current Layer”.

After Photoshop CS6, the Eyedropper tool has added the ability to sample from different combinations of layers including: “Current and Below”, “All Layers No Adjustments”, and “Current and Below No Adjustment”.

You can find these options when the eyedropper tool is selected on the top left side under the drop-down box titled “Sample”.
