EYEDROPPER TOOL

Copy and apply formatting to text and shapes

Formatting shapes: Select the eyedropper tool, then option/alt-click on the original shape; this loads the formatting into the eyedropper. Now click on the shape you want to apply the format to.

Formatting text: Select the eyedropper tool then option/alt-click on the text format you want to copy. Hover over the text you want to apply the new formatting to, you’ll notice the eyedropper icon has a small ‘T’ next to it. Click and highlight the text to apply the new formatting. 

COLOR THEME TOOL

Lift color swatches off of a photograph

To create a color pallet from a photograph you need to select the color theme tool: it lives in the same menu icon as the eyedropper tool. Click on the image whose colors you want to sample and the tool generates a color theme for you based on the image. You can add the color theme to your swatches by clicking the + icon.
