Hi folks. My first post here.

I have Photoshop CS5 Extended and I'm relearning lots of things I knew how to do but have now forgotten.

I have been trying to follow the tutorial (a written one, not a video) that I link below, to show how you can select a colour in an image and then remove that colour. I get to the point where it says to use the eye dropper tool to sample an area. When I click with the sampler, the sample is always pure white.

Curiously, I did get this working once but I forgot which buttons I pressed to get to that point! I then closed the image down and tried again, but no go. (I thought it was because I had a brush tool selected last, rather than the hand tool, but no).

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? Thanks.
