Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
It would be great to add a color picker functionality (ALT+Left mouse click like in Photoshop) to pick a color with which you can then draw.
Scenario when this would be used?
I make a screenshot of my current work. I want quickly note specific colors from the image for the client.
This way I could ALT+click the color on the screen and then click somewhere else and create a circle filled with that color (color swatch). Then I could write a color name next to that swatch or perhaps a note like "Color for walls" or similar.
Blur function pleasantly surprised me. Perhaps add a soft brush if at all possible? Thanks! Great work!
Supporting information
Picking any color would really add to the functionality.
