How do I copy a color to the foreground ?

How do I copy a color in my image to the foreground so I can draw with it? I want to use the brush to cover over a bunch of my image. Thanks.

I couldn't figure that tool out. It seems to just highlight a bunch of my background. It seems to simply do a selection based on the color which is not what I want. I want the color copied to a clipboard and then I want to use it as the foreground color.

If you:

1. Press "o" key, release 2. Click on the image

Then the color you clicked on should become the foreground color.

I'm guessing, but it sounds like you are using the 'select by color' tool and not the 'color select/eyedropper tool).

Probably the easiest way is to Ctrl-Click on the image with one of the paint tools.
