The Color Picker Tool has two sampling modes, Image and Layer. These dictate which pixels will be sampled when picking a color.
Image - pixels are polled from the composite image when determining the color to install in the color slot. This mode will operate in the same way as if a multi-layered image was flattened prior to using the Color Picker Tool.
Layer - pixels only within the active layer are polled to determine which color will be installed in the color slot. This is the same sampling mode as found in previous versions of paint.net.
Sampling Size
The Color Picker Tool has six sampling sizes that can be used. These are squares in the sizes one pixel, 3x3, 5x5, 11x11, 31x31 and 51x51. The size determines the area that will be polled when determining the color that is installed.
Where a range of colors is covered by the sample size, the colors will be averaged and a single hue returned.
