# Three ways to use the Smart Dropper

> Match your team's render style, try a colorway from any image or move a product into a new scene, in two clicks.

The [Smart Dropper](https://docs.vizcom.com/tools/smart-dropper.md) samples one image and applies its style, colors or setting to another, with no prompt.

![The Workbench toolbar with the Smart Dropper eyedropper marked 1 and its caret marked 2. The open menu, Select what to analyze, lists Style with a check mark, Color and Environment, marked 3. A running-shoe render and a running-shoe line sketch sit on the canvas below.](https://mintcdn.com/vizcom-c4034e9b/FHfxWMtC8cMIGOnx/images/find/smart-dropper.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=FHfxWMtC8cMIGOnx\&q=85\&s=0509fa140359b655858ce61e1aaee7a5)

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

## Steps

1. Put the image to sample and the image to change on the same Workbench canvas.
2. Press <kbd>Y</kbd>, open the dropper's menu and choose a mode from the table below.
3. Click the image to sample, then the image to change.
4. Hold <kbd>Shift</kbd> to apply the same sample to more images, and press <kbd>Esc</kbd> to stop.

Press Y, choose Style, click the reference, then click the image to change.

| To | Mode | Sample |
| - | - | - |
| Match your team's render style | **Style** | An approved render |
| Try a colorway from anywhere | **Color** | A photo or mood board |
| Move a product into a new scene | **Environment** | A photo of the setting |

## Good to know

* The two images must be different ("Can't apply style to the same image").
* The Smart Dropper isn't in Studio. For exact placement, use [Unify](https://docs.vizcom.com/unify.md) there instead.
* Each application is a generation ([Credits](https://docs.vizcom.com/vizcom-credits.md#other-features)).
