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.

  • 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

    Hello. Is it possible to change just one stop of the color in a gradient in eyedropping a color on your table of art? I know you can go to the color picker, but it doesn't let you choose something on the canvas. Also I know I can do a shade and drag it into the slope, but really who wants to do that if you can just pipette that sucker! any thoughts? Thank you!

    Nope.

    On my larger screen, the color selector window appears because real estate is much bigger.

  • Need help with the color picker please

    OK, I'm green to the illustrator cs4 program. But I know it's a setting somewhere that I am missing, just not sure of the correct to check or change place. When I create an image, select the following color hex #0039 6 to use as a background color, when I save the image, the colour of say's: 1F429B

    why it converts it and how do I change to not do this?

    cswd,

    To keep the color, your file > Document Color Mode should not be RGB, CMYK.

    In the CMYK color Mode, when a color is outside the range of CMYK, it will be changed to the color (I hope) best equivalent within the CMYK range.

    Of course, if you need to print CMYK color, you must work in CMYK mode.

    Exclusive Web / another screen use, stay in RGB.

    If you need both CMYK and RGB use screen printing, you will get (usually) different appearances unless you start in CMYK mode.

    What you want to replicate from El Capitan in Yosemite?

    1. The file containing all the samples stored color of the Apple color picker?
    2. The color picker itself?
    3. Both?

    Question 1 is a simple transfer of a single file.

    1. From the Finder, press shift + cmd + G keys to go to the folder. Copy and paste the following in this dialog box:
      ~/Library/colors
    2. The file has your stored color swatch is: NSColorPanelSwatches.plist
      1. On Yosemite, quit Word, Pages and other applications that use the Apple color chart
      2. Repeat step 1 on your machine of Yosemite
      3. Rename (do not remove) the Yosemite NSColorPanelSwatches.plist existing NSColorPanelSwatches.plist.old
      4. Copy the color swatch file El Capitan in Yosemite file location
    3. Launch the applications that use the color chart to see Apple El Capitan from swatches.
  • 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?

  • Display the color, the color picker dialog box (like colorbox click)

    Hello everyone

    I wish next (problem?). I want to show the colordialog that usually appears when you click a color box, control clicking on a cell of a listbox control.

    Here are a few screenshots to see more clearly my problem. The main thing is that it is not possible to manipulate the labviews legends, in a way, I want. 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.

    Best regards

    Gernot

    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.

    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?

  • 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.

  • 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:

    And the Photoshop/Illustrator/etc looks like this:

    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?

    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...

  • 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.
