a problem on the color picker?

Hello world... So when I do a brushing with the Brush tool, I often use the alt key to alternate my brush in the color picker...

but when I clicked it, rather have the color on the foreground color, I get the background color to change.

Is it possible to change that back to the foreground color? It's really annoying because every time I chose a color I have to swap the color

Thanks in advance for all replies, tq!

  • problem with the color picker tool

    Hi there we use Fireworks CS3 and seem to have problems with the color picker tool.

    When we hover over a color and select it, we do not get the same color. Sometimes, we choose a blue color and it translates into a green.

    Also when we have a color for example chabouni and reduce the color so something lighter, he returned to the Carter.

    Can anyone suggest what might be the problem.

    This has only started happening recently and nothing major has been installed or removed from Fireworks.

    See you soon

    My background color changes when I try to apply it. I put the color using the color picker. Then I try to create a new document with the same background color.

  • The mouse pointer (still) disappears when using the color picker

    Someone suggested to start a new discussion, since the old writing is a couple of years now. Thanks for the tip!

    Whenever I select a color using the eyedropper icon small (used to be a magnifying glass) in the color picker, the cursor goes away after I made the choice of colors.

    I have that experience under El Capitan, but I had the same problem in Yosemite as well as Mavericks and on Mac computers. I've seen this behaviour being reported in the forum for older versions, such as the Mountain Lion, but never with a real solution (workaround has been on creating a new user and delete the old).

    I hope someone has a solution for now.

    The eyedropper tool worked very well for me and still does (I just checked).

    If creating a new user solves the problem then, you have some corrupted in your account settings, or, less likely, you run an application (possibly a connection point) which is the origin of the problem.

    Hold down the option key, and then use

    Finder > go > library

    menu item. You have a folder 'ColorPickers? If so, is it empty?

  • Error beep sound when you open the color picker in Illustrator

    Hello

    I have a strange problem. Every time when I double click on the color picker in illustrator, I hear a boring. It's the same when you make a mistake, only then I get a dialog box with information about the error. The color picker appears and flashes at first. It works normally. I got turned down the volume, but of course that is not a solution. Anyone has any idea what it is?

    On my laptop, it works fine.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Using the color picker to the linear gradient does not

    Sorry for the bad English, I really don't know how to ask this question tbh.

    I'm doing a degraded, object using four colors that I put in place. I did four arrows to the linear gradient bar, but the second, I use the color picker to add the right color, changing the bar of solid colorand gradient bar disappear. I tried many things and scoured the internet to find answers, but can't find anything about this problem. I'm this Adobe Illustrator Gradient GOLD text, logo - YouTube video and this is the stage at 03:07 that does everything just for me. I would appreciate help!

    Thank you

    Rather than put into squares colors use color chart & global colors (indicated by a white triangle at the bottom of the swatch)

    To apply the nuance to a point of gradient is easy. You select the point of gradient (indicated by a black triangle above the point of gradient). ALT then click a color in the Swatches palette to fill this gradient.

    If you use global colors, you can easily double, click a shade and change colors and all uses of the color update.

    Here, I've added 44 black to make the Green darker.

    World Vision automatically adjusts the point of gradient.

  • How to change the display of the color picker/color space?

    I wanted to change the view of the color picker/color space to what it looks like in other Adobe programs. I got the habit to use the selector of color from other programs and I had problems with the appearance and function of this color view.

    In InDesign, the color picker looks like this:

    InDesignColorPicker.png

    And the Photoshop/Illustrator/etc looks like this:

    PhotoshopColorPicker.png

    I tried to change the "convert to profile...". "and the fusion of transparent space, but have done anything about what I want to do.

    Is it possible to change this in InDesign?

    Note: I want to change the appearance of similar gradient box if it is not obvious.

    Rob,

    You're wrong. If you are on a Mac equipped with suitable equipment and that you use the latest version of InDesign, you have animated Zoom. See below:

  • Internet explore open Photoshop help when using the color picker

    Hello. In PS CS4 and XP.

    Half of the time I use the color picker in Photoshop suddenly IE is opened using Photoshop in a separate window. I'm clicking on something? What I seem to be clicking on the box of color ranges is in the color picker. It's just very annoying. Was wondering if anyone had this problem? I thought that using Photoshop was supposed to open if you click on the Photoshop eye on the toolbar, which is not in CS4.

    It has been seen from time to time.  This may indicate corruption in the memory space of Photoshop.  If I were you, I would immediately save my work and close Photoshop if you do this.

    Some things to try to prevent it from happening:

    • Update your video driver on the web site of the manufacturer of your video card.
    • Set up the OpenGL drawing to turn off advanced drawing and vertical sync.
    • Examine your 3rd party plug-ins, delete the ones you don't need and seek versions updates to those that you use.

    Good luck to get to the bottom of this.

  • Can you use the color picker when setting gradients in Illustrator?

    I am able to set up a custom in Illustrator without any problem gradient, but I wanted to know if there is a way to use the color picker when setting your custom colors or if you are limited to a narrow bar of color (which has all the colors but feels harder to use for me)?

    Click color to change in the Panel degraded stop / palette. Then, double-click on the fill area at the bottom of your tool palette/Panel. Who should bring up the color picker and color you choose apply until stop in the gradient you had clicked.

    Alternatively, double-click the area fill with nothing selected to bring up the color picker. Choose your desired color, and then drag the color from the fill box to the Swatches palette/Panel to create a new shade. Later, with the gradient panel/palette active, you can drag samples directly on the steps of color to change your gradient.

  • Why is there no pipette in the color picker to Comp CC?

    Well, Adobe. I hope that you are listening. COMP CC slowly turns into one of the apps on my iPad Pro.  BUT... you really need to support Apple pencil AND it must be an eyedropper tool to capture the colors of the imported images.

    Please and thank you.

    Hi Matt,

    Try this:

    Tap the color you want to copy.

    This opens a toolbar with the color in a color circle.

    Tap on the color circle and he opens the color picker.

    In the upper right corner, there is a copy button. Tap that.

    Use this color to fill in other forms.

    There are a lot of steps. I will pass your feature request to the product team.

    Edit: It is not a feature, but the feature was transmitted to the product team.

  • Slow down the color picker?

    Is it possible to slow down the speed of the color picker moves?

    I find that when I find a combination that I like, when I'm going to freeze the screen pickers have already passed to (and captured) a different combination.

    Thank you!

    Hi PixelChick,

    No, it cannot be slowed down, but once it freezes, you can tap and drag on the circles of color to move. You can also change the themes once they are saved by tapping a theme in your library and then pressing the button change.

    I know this isn't the answer you were looking / hoping for, but it helps at all?
