Quick answer
Foreground and background swatches supply colors for tools and fills. Swapping them changes the active color target.
Applies to
For website owners preparing authorized image assets in their own licensed Photoshop installation. Photoshop runs on your computer and is separate from cPanel hosting. The preserved tutorial shows an older interface; this is not a certification of every legacy tool in current releases.
Steps
- Open the intended document or workspace and identify the relevant panel or preference.
- Set the intended foreground/background swatches, inspect the Color Picker values and test the selected tool on a separate layer.
Check the result
Confirm the intended panel, sampled value, measurement or workspace behavior. A zoom or screen-mode change does not change the stored image dimensions.
Troubleshooting and support
If a control from the old video is unavailable, use Adobe's guide for your installed version. For a website crop or display problem, check the actual uploaded file and theme placement before repeatedly editing the original.
Contact support from the owning account with the domain, product/version, exact error, time/time zone and redacted evidence. Exclude credentials, session URLs, payment details and private customer records. Confirm any separate application-support scope.
