Abstract

Techniques and systems are provided for performing drawing tool identification and retrieval. For instance, based on a user creating content within a digital image using a drawing tool, a drawing tool-retrieval system may determine a unique identifier corresponding to the drawing tool. The identifier may indicate the type of the drawing tool, as well as any configurable settings of the drawing tool selected by the user. The drawing tool-retrieval system can store the identifier in association with pixels corresponding to the content. When the user wishes to use the drawing tool again, the user can provide a drawing tool-picking input that includes selection of a pixel corresponding to the content. In response to the drawing tool-picking input, the drawing tool-retrieval system can obtain the identifier of the drawing tool and then activate the drawing tool to enable the user to edit the image with the drawing tool.
