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?

Kind regards

Leif

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.

Also works when the adobe color picker dialog box open in photoshop.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • What are the keyboard shortcuts to use the component feature snap-in in Windows 7?

    One of my windows program jumps constantly at my primary monitor after clicking on apply. He does not easily slide back, Yes, is there a keyboard shortcut, or can I do a keyboard shortcut to send the BACK window?

    Try pressing the right arrow Windows.  The first time, the window should anchor right on your screen, do it again, and it should move to the next screen.  This work only, however, if the window is resizable so that Aero Snap can "seize".

    Otherwise, there are some public services that can help.  Some are provided with manufacturers of graphics card dual monitor, but searching for 'send to the next monitor' should find some other useful applications.  Your mileage may vary if, as these other 3rd party utilities may have the same inability to 'catch' the window.

    If it solves your problem, click on the link "Propose as answer" below and vote as useful by clicking on the green triangle for the lelft. Thank you!

    Treaty to create a set of web colors using the photo shop. On the page referenced above to the article, the author says to set the base color by adding 50% white and 50% black to create new shades of colours.

    How do I do that? (add a percentage any of any color?)

    TIA

    Karl

    Create a new layer fill, color United, black or white, on top of your color swatch.

    Now adjust the opacity of the layer to something else as 100%.

    That's what describes the author of this article.

    I'm trying to match a background color of a page in a Blurb book using the book of Lightroom 4 Module.  Is there a way that I can use the color picker to select a color in the photo to use as color for the background and the type of color?  I see the color box for these situations, but the color picker doesn't seem to work with the range of color that appears and wrong to the photo.  Any suggestions?  I forget something very obvious?

    It works for me.

    The usual way to Lightroom: click the eyedropper in the palette of colors first, then hold and drag to your photo to the color of the sample.

  • 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.
