The Smart Dropper (1), its caret (2) and the modes (3).

## Use the Smart Dropper

**1. Pick the mode**

Click the caret 2 and choose **Style**, **Color** or **Environment** 3.

**2. Turn on the tool**

Press <kbd>Y</kbd> or click the eyedropper 1 if it isn't on yet.

**3. Click the source image**

Click the image whose look you want.

**4. Click the target image**

Click the image to change, and the new version appears to its right.

**5. Apply to more, or stop**

Hold <kbd>Shift</kbd> to keep the sample for more targets, and press <kbd>Esc</kbd> to stop.

## Modes

| Mode | What it carries over |
| - | - |
| **Style** (default) | Materials, finish, lighting and key colors |
| **Color** | The palette, applied to the target's parts |
| **Environment** | Setting, background, light and atmosphere |

For recipes, see [Smart Dropper workflows](https://docs.vizcom.com/workflows/smart-dropper.md).

## Tips

* **Sample a clean source.** A render on a plain background gives a cleaner style than a busy photo.
* **Use Color for colorways.** **Style** also carries materials and lighting.
* **Need control?** Connect the source as a [reference image](https://docs.vizcom.com/reference-images.md) and write a prompt.

## Good to know

* **Each application costs 30 credits** on plans billed in credits, and every <kbd>Shift</kbd>-click counts.
* **You can't apply a sample** to the image you took it from.
* **Workbench only.** It isn't in Studio, and viewers don't have it.
