Illustrator :: Colour Picker For Gradient Tool?
Nov 3, 2013Recently, I started using Adobe Illustrator and watched many tutorials for the basics of it (coming from Photoshop) but one thing that I'm not too comfortable with is the gradient tool in Illustrator compared to the one in Photoshop.
I keep reading that the only way to adjust the colours is to either use the colours in the swatches or the mini colour slider but is there a way to choose the colours like you can in Photoshop?
GIMP :: Colour To Alpha Colour Picker
Jul 26, 2013Windows 7 and Gimp 2.8.2 in single window mode.
I am trying to to use Colour to Alpha by picking a specific colour from an image. But I can't get the colour picker to work.
The image has an alpha channel.
I choose Colour to Alpha, then click on the From swatch. The Colour to Alpha Colour Picker window appears. I click on the eyedropper. But when I move the eyedropper over the image, the cursor changes to the previous tool that was used. For example, if I used the zoom tool, the eyedropper changes to zoom as the cursor leaves the Colour to Alpha Colour Picker window, and zoom becomes active.
How do I pick a colour from the image?

Jul 13, 2007I have 2 Macs with Photoshop and one of them has the colour picker set to a "different" look. The colour field and colour sliders on my main 'puter are "normal" having a full spectrum of colour. But the other one shows only a narrow range of colour. Well, there is the whole gamut of colour but it is shown in a weird way. I've been through the preferences and nothing addresses this issue. The attached jpg has the weird picker on the left.

Oct 20, 2011When I want to use the "Eyedrop" tool to pick up the RGB value of a colour, and zoom in to pick up an individual pixel, the pixels change in colour to go with the shades of the picture. Is there anyway to expand the range of the tool to a greater pixel range to get the basic idea of what the value of the colour is?
View 2 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Colour Picker Not Working Properly
Jan 30, 2008I use the alt button when using the brush in photoshop to quickly switch between the brush and colour picker, and it usually switches the colour i have chosen to the foreground colour so I can use the colour I picked with the brush.
but I think I pressed something or I'm not sure and it stopped doing that and I've restarted my computer and photoshop numerous times and it won't change.
what happens now is when I use the alt while using the brush the colour picker selects the colour but selects the colour for the background colour and leaves the foreground colour unchanged. =(
today I found if I click on the colour picker icon and click on a colour it'll select that colour for the background colour, but if I have the colour picker as my selcted tool and press alt and click it will set it as my foreground colour.

Aug 11, 2013How do I see the object selected change colour dynamically as I adjust the colour sliders?
It seems the object only changes colour when I release the slider. But I want to see it dynamically change, so I can find the colour that works best without "hit or miss" - "trial and error" behaviour.
Yes... I'm aware some of you spend hours in colour programs creating a palette to work with. Good for you.
I'm just wanting to do it LIVE. Dynamically. In 2013. In Illustrator.

Illustrator :: Why Color Picker So Slow On OSX
Mar 19, 2014Strange behavior: I've noticed that scrubbing the Color Picker in Illustrator is VERY slow on OSX compared to Windows.
Here is Windows for comparison: [URL]
(It's hard to show fluidity in a GIF, but believe me, on Windows, this is silky smooth)
However, on every single OSX machine I've tested, dragging around the color picker has terrible lag.

Illustrator :: Way To Make Color Picker In Toolbar Bigger?
Sep 10, 2013Is there a way to make the color picker in the toolbar bigger?
I've been using Illustrator for some time now and find this part of the software to be annoying as I frequently mis-click this tiny area and the switching between foreground and background color is easily mismanaged and you end up changing the colour of the one you didn't intend and then have to make two clicks to remedy that.
Do any other users find this to be a badly designed part of the software?Also, when in the colour creation dialogue the 'preview' tick can somehow be switched to on as default.
I can understand that there are situations where it might be better not to see your colour change in the document in real time, but to have to click this (again very small) tick box again and again feels like bad design.
Illustrator Scripting :: How To Show The Color Picker Dialog
Feb 22, 2014how to show the color picker dialog in Illustrator programmatically?
In photoshop that's really easy, just:
app.showColorPicker(true);
In Illustrator I couldn't find any reference to such a method or other possibility to show the dialog programmatically, that you would normally get when double clicking on the fill color square within Illustrator.
Is that possible by using app.executeMenuCommand or some other method?
I am writing a script that opens the color picker dialog in reaction to a click on a button. I want to be able to get the chosen color and use it within the script.
Illustrator :: Can't Type Pantone Values In Color Picker With AI CS6
Jun 11, 2013I'm running Design and Web Premium CS6 on a Windows 7 machine. I was recently using Ai's Recolor Artwork dialogue for a CMYK document. I wanted to convert my 4 color artwork to Pantone solid coated. I decided to chose some different Pantones. In older versions of Illustrator I could easily open the Color Picker, click on a Pantone value and then just type in a new value to scroll to it. This is no longer the case with Ai CS6.

Illustrator :: Export Colour Separations?
Jul 17, 2012I have tried unsuccessfully to export colour separations from Illustrator (CS5.1 MacOSX). I need the separations in an editable file format, but it seems like I am only able to print separations.
I have tried to print to a file with Output set to host-based separations but even that seems to be impossible. I get an error message "The save as PDF options in the Printer dialog are not supported".
The software is clever enough to do the separations, but somehow it can only print, not export them. Is there any additional software that would pose as a printer but instead of printing would create a file?
Illustrator :: CC - How To Change The Artboard Colour
Nov 16, 2013No matter how I set the interface preferences, when I make a new artboard, that artboard is white.
The brain-dead workaround to this is to put a rectangle the colour I want on a locked background layer and make it the same size as my artboard, but this turns "Shift+O, drag" into "Shift+O, drag, M, drag, set desired fill colour, deselect rectangle, restore previous fill colour and tool and selection."
It seems like there should be an interface option somewhere that lets me set the colour of new artboards, but the only guidance I can find on setting the artboard colour says to use "simulate coloured paper." Simulating coloured paper is not setting the colour of your artboard. It is simulating the way ink always lets some of the paper colour show through.
I do not want my artboard to show through. I simply want it to be a different colour. When I press Shift+O and drag out a new artboard, I want that artboard to be the same colour. If I decide I would like a different colour, I want to change a single setting somewhere and have the colours of all artboards in the document change at once.
I cannot find any setting for this in the interface. Am I missing something, or is it just not there?
Illustrator :: Colour Differences When Copying?
Feb 7, 2013I work on a Mac and I just updated from Illustrator CS5 to Illustrator CS6 and I'm noticing a weird problem. I have a file that I created in CS5 that when I copy the artwork to a new file in CS6, the colours are totally different.
I have checked my preferences against those of a co-worker that still has CS5, and as far as I can tell, everything is the same!
I've attached a set of screenshots (below), using a file created in CS5 (bottom image), and what it looks like when it is copied into a new file (top image).
