Shaped like a pipette, it is an excellent tool for colour matching purposes when you have difficulty in finding the right colour, the eye-dropper tool allows you to alter the prominent colour so that it has a shade that is identical to colour on the canvas.
To change the foreground color, click with the eyedropper on the desired colour anywhere in the current image, or in any other open image, active or not. To change the background color, Alt-click, with the eyedropper, on the desired colour in any open window.
The keyboard shortcut for the eyedropper tool is I.
