Hi all,

With the following sketch, the image is drawn at (140, 500). However, when I sample the image using the get() function, it acts as though the image is drawn at (0, 0). How do I correct this?

Thanks!

```auto
let colours;

function setup() {
	colours = loadImage('colours.jpg');
	createCanvas(700, 700);
	background(0);
}

function draw() {
	image(colours, 140, 500, 190, 110);

	fill(colours.get(mouseX, mouseY));
	noStroke();
	ellipse(50, 50, 50, 50);
}

```

with

```auto
colours.get();

```

read from the image,  
with

```auto
get();

```

from the canvas,  
difference is, that is where you actually placed the image.
