The Eyedropper tool is not working for me.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Please look into the issue.
2. Please find out what happened and why it's only affecting one drawing.
3. Please tell me how to fix it,

OBSERVED RESULT:
After laying down all of my flat colors on this particular drawing and clearing the color history since I wanted to focus on one layer at a time, I went in to use the eyedropper tool to reselect the colors. What happened then was that every color I tried picking up would only yield some variation of a gray-ish orange. Blues, reds, oranges and purples all became the same or a similar color, regardless of how vibrant, light or dark they were. I tried laying down different color swatches to the side of my drawing to see if it would pick that up properly, but it didn't. I thought it'd be fixed if I reset all of the settings and then restarted the program, but it didn't. So, I waited a day, hoping that it was just my computer giving me problems. Now, the issue is only affecting all of my color swatches that are orange and red, but still also everything on my actual drawing. It's only affecting one drawing.


EXPECTED RESULT:
I expected to get the true colors when I used the eyedropper tool. I've never had this problem before and I'm really confused by it.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It was working just fine when I first started the drawing, it only occurred after I cleared the color history. I opened a new file as well just now to see if the issue would carry on there. It didn't. It's still just that one drawing and I'm concerned that I'll have to delete that drawing and start over.

Hi,

I suspect you may have accidentally turned on some color management feature. For example, if you go into view and toggle "soft-proofing" does that change the colors to what you expected? Or perhaps the lut docker? If so, you may have accidentally turned this on, and not noticed while painting, in which case you will have to turn this feature off, and fix the colors manually.

If neither are the cause, I will need a screenshot of the image inside krita, with the layer docker visible.
