Auto Pick color - choose the source

The auto pick color is a great way to 'steal' colors from an underlying image.
but you have to pick from the layer itself which makes it destructive.
it would be nice if it could pick from other sources as well.
so in the same way that you can choose where TVPaint looks for the boundaries for a paintbucket fill.
you could then choose where it AutoPicks its color!
AutoPick Source:
-Layer
-display
-Under

i feel silly,
i'm now looking for the auto pick color option, but forgot where to find it!?
In the paintbucket tool panel it is there...
But i could swear it was also an option in at least one of the drawing tools.
Surely it wasn't dropped, right?

No thats not what i mean. What autopick does (or did) is picking colors from another layer as you draw.
So you can put an image on another layer and when you paint on the layer above, every time you put down the pen it samples the color from that position on the source layer.
much like the AutoPick option in the PaintBucket tool.
it could be that this was a custombutton from a third party (maybe from Dhomas, Young Monkey?)

Ah, sorry Peter, I don't really remember that being an option I ever knew or used...
