Here is a suggestion: the default would be to use the same tool for all images, as we do now. But there would be a new button or checkbox associated with the image, with a description (tooltip) saying something like "lock active tool for this image" or "remember tool". Any image (or any view?) that has this option turned on would always use the same tool, even if you change the "global" active tool. That would allow you to associate the color picker with one image, while you are switching tools freely for the other images. -Raphael
