Color Picker eyedropper size

I have iMac Yosemite (10.10.3). The pipette in the preferences system color picker > > desktop and screensaver produces a circular selection box that has a diameter too large. This makes it almost impossible to select the color of a smaller area of pixels. Can't seem to find how to reduce the diameter of the area of selection of the pipette. Suggestions please?

The reason why there is no way to reduce the circular area of the pipette, it's that he isn't making the selection. There is a small square in the center of the circle that you place on the color to be captured, and then click. It is sufficiently accurate so that I can choose the dark in the middle of any character typed here.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Keyboard shortcut to use the color picker in another application

    Hi, I'm new here. My first post.

    I remember there was a shortcut in Ps to use the color picker in another application. For example, choose a color from a web browser. I don't remember the keyboard shortcut. Anyone know it?

    You can choose the eyedropper tool, click on your document open in photoshop, and then hold down the left mouse button while you drag out of photoshop to read the colors.

    It's an accessible HUD color picker by Shift + Alt + right click.

    HUD means "Heads up Display" as instrumentation placed in front of the driver, so it doesn't have a glance down to read.

    Some like the idea of appeal place a color picker from of them to choose a foreground color, rather than join their attention from the document panel color to choose a color to paint for example. It is not as complete presented as the color Panel, but for some, it is enough and a time saver.

    Enter Photoshop general preferences, you have the choice between the band of Hue (which is shown in your screenshot) or a color wheel in a selection of sizes.

    And that's the point of the HUD color picker.

    These two simple things slowing down my design process. If anyone can help me out here, it will be great. I really need a solution to this.

    You are comparing apples and oranges, that's why he organizers can't make sense for you.

    The Photoshop document that you are working is in RGB color Mode and the Illustrator document that you are working is CMYK.

    One is light the other is the ink pigments.

    Screenshots of the same fill gradient in Illustrator is RGB and the other converted to CMYK.

    No matter what you do get ofn the screen actually colors when printing on EIA will much duller on paper but as human beings, we tend to compensate for this, until you make a side by side comparison so all the beautiful coloryou see nature CMYK print is mostly in the mind's eye.

  • My Adobe color picker will not appear.

    Hello

    I googled this without success. For some reason any Adobe color chart is missing from my Photoshop 8.0. I don't know when he disappeared. When I double click a shade in the box tools or Swatches palette or fill the window layers or effects or any where I can think about getting the color picker pop-up that I get nothing. My eyedropper tool is enabled, but there is no color picker to be seen.

    I changed my maximum screen resolution to see if he has escaped an external area of the office and did not find it. I also went to window > workspace > reset palette locations but still no luck. I went into Photoshop preferences > General > selector of color with the Adobe option is selected I toggled in and out of the it in case he had to reset itself, but I still have nothing. Right now I'm on my color chart Apple, I think it's very limiting. I'm still all Pantone, TruMatch, etc files in Applications > Adobe Photoshop > Presets > folder color books, but no Adobe to access with color picker. My Mac Home > library > color selector folder appears empty (assuming I don't have need to show something to do all types of files).

    So my questions are...
    (1) what is the file name and the extension of the Adobe Photoshop color picker? Maybe I'll be able to get my system and locate somewhere.

    (2) this issue is supposed to be located at? So I can put it there if and when I find it.

    (3) download the ADOBE color somewhere picker? The only one I want is from Adobe. Especially for the choice of spot colors.

    I don't have the original disks of Photoshop for a re - install.

    Thanks for any help.

    Instead of a cache of color, maybe a full screen of form in the Titler, w / no Stoke and only Fill, which can be done with the pipette in the Titler?

  • Can you help me solve the color picker in CS4?

    Hello world

    I have PS CS4 on a Vista 64 system and suddenly noticed (maybe it done all along, but I don't remember using the eyedropper tool to color since his arrival of the PES in PS a few months ago) that the same color eyedropper tool not come remotely close to picking the appropriate color that I select with the pipette. I was doing a tutorial on brushes last night and tried to choose the red color of the dress of my child in the picture as the foreground for the brush color. The color picker chose a color in the browns. I moved and then choose a light green, once again, he chose a color in the browns. I have no idea what gives.

    My monitor is calibrated using Color Munki create and, as stated in the tutorial, I use Adobe RGB 1998 color space. But for some reason, the color picker does not behave. And I couldn't find anything in my research on what is a bug.

    Someone would be able to advise me?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Added hex tab in color picker

    On my MacBook Pro several years ago, I downloaded an app or utility that allowed a hexagonal tab on the color picker that appears particularly in MS Office applications, but I think that in other applications, too.

    On my MacBook Air, running 10.11.4, I can't understand how to do the same thing.

    I see a lot of apps in the App Store that allows to identify a hexadecimal number in a pixel, but I want to be able to, not necessarily IDENTIFY hex colors, but choose them in apps. I already know what Hex numbers I want to use, I want to be able to choose them, in Word, for example.

    It is a color picker plugin that goes in the Mac HD/library/ColorPickers folder or in your folder Users/home/library/ColorPickers .

  • Why the Color Picker is a circle?

    Hello

    I have been using FCPX for a while and sometimes I need to use the color for a third-party effect selector, but instead of the usual pipette or magnifying glass icon, I get this big circle with a small rectangle at the Center.  It get bigger, but the circle is too much.  No idea what happened to the usual color picker?

    TIA,

    James

    The 'default' selector is a favorite of "color wheel" typical of most of the artists. It is indicative of the perceptual nature of color (red - orange - yellow - green - purple - blue - cyan - red.)

    The System color picker may be a circle of color wheel, sliders, 'tags' or tabs or color chart (However, you want to refer to them), spectrum and color pencils (48 colors). There are five small icons at the top of the switch. Choose the system that you want to use. If you select the selector of cursors, you will have the option of grayscale, RGB, CMYK and HSB. You can also 'load' the squares down with your "favourites".

    You may prefer the spectrum switch:

    You can also try right clicking on the color tab in the Inspector (or click on the arrow down on the right side) and you will get this compact popup:

    but there will be a pipette instead of the arrow cursor.

This is why I want to use the diagram below. To save space, I would like to the first column of color with the color of the plot. It all works perfectly.

    I just want to change the os of color, plot and the cell by the nice color picker.

    Do you have any idea how to do to access this object.

    I am aware that I could use .NET but ist would be nice to have the labviews one.

    I really don't see the issue. See this snippet (drag it into a diagram to use) - a single click displays the selector, the second allows you to select the color.
