Photoshop :: Eyedropper To Change Text Color Not Working
Aug 8, 2013Using Photoshop CC on a Mac running the newest versions of everything and I am having trouble getting the eyedropper to work properly. I have a text layer selected and I've always been able to switch to the eyedropper and change the color of the text directly.
I chatted with Adobe support and they got me to delete my preferences folder. It worked after that the next time I opened Photoshop but then the next time, stopped working again. Delete preferences folder again and it works but after the first try it stops working every time.
Photoshop :: CS6 - Stroke Color Picker Preview In Real Time Not Working
Jun 22, 2012re: NEW color picker stroke color not updating in real time (previewing).
Â
Is it me or has the stroke color preview been removed in CS6 or is there a setting that needs to be changed to enable it?
Â
The problem: When I create a shape layer, press enter and then chose a stroke color from the color picker, I select a color but it doesn't update the stroke color until I press enter. I'm sure it used to change in real time as you clicked on the color picker panel before accepting it.
Â
Further update: This is when creating a shape but using the new stroke feature in the properties bar at the top (the one which gives you the new fancy options like having a dashed, transparent or gradient stroke) and not the traditional method of adding it as an effect. This still shows a real time update, but the new method doesn't.

--Color dialogue box: This is the pop-up that is labeled at the top with "Color". It shows 48 different color squares (6 rows by 8 columns); they are labeled "Basic colors:". Right below the "Basic colors:" array is another 16 empty squares (2 rows by 8 columns) to be filled with colors to be defined. There is a "Define Custom Colors>>" button when clicked opens up a color picker with HSB RGB stacked below the color field screen. See this link to the Microsoft "Color Dialogue Box", [URL]

The problem:In PSE 10, when using the Eyedropper Tool or clicking on the Foreground Color or the Background Color, the Microsoft Microsoft "Color Dialogue Box" pops up instead of the "Adobe Color Picker" dialogue box. This started about a month ago. I use Windows 7.

Photoshop :: How To Fix Color Picker To Work Across Different Color-managed Monitors
Apr 17, 2013I'm assuming this problem I'm having stems from having color-calibrated monitors, but let me know if I'm wrong!
Â
To preface, this is the setup I have:
Windows 73 monitors as follows, all have individual color profiles calibrated using the Spyder 3Cintiq 12WX Dell U2410Dell 2409WFPPhotoshop CS6 - Proofed with Monitor RGB, and tested with color-managed and non-color-managed documents . I usually do most of my work on the Cintiq 12WX, but pull the Photoshop window to my main monitor to do large previews and some corrections. I noticed that the color picker wouldn't pick colors consistently depending on the monitor the Photoshop window is on.
Â
Here are some video examples:
This is how the color picker works on my Dell U2410:

This is how it works on my Cintiq 12WX:
[URL].........
Â
Main Question
I know the Cintiq's video capture makes the picture look more saturated than the Dell's, but it actually looks fine physically, which is okay. But notice how the Cintiq's colour picker doesn't pick a matching colour. It was actually happening the opposite way for a while (Dell was off, Cintiq was fine), but it magically swapped while I was trying to figure out what was going on.
Â
Semi-related Question regarding Color Management
Color management has always been the elephant-in-the-room for me when I first tried to calibrate my monitors with a Spyder colourimeter years ago. My monitors looked great, but Photoshop's colors became unpredictable and I decided to abandon the idea of calibrating my monitors for years until recently. I decided to give it another chance and follow some tutorials and articles in an attempt to keep my colors consistent across Photoshop and web browsers, at least. I've been proofing against monitor color and exporting for web without an attached profile to keep pictures looking good on web browsers. However, pictures exported as such will look horrible when uploaded to Facebook. Uploading pictures with an attached color profile makes it look good on Facebook. This has forced me to export 2 versions of a picture, one with an attached color profile and one without, each time I want to share it across different platform. Is there no way to fix this issue?
Â
Pictures viewed in Windows Photo Viewer are also off-color, but I think that's because it's not color managed... but that's a lesser concern.
Photoshop :: Color-picker Selecting Background Color Instead Of Foreground?
May 19, 2012You know how when you're painting, you can hold ALT and it will pick a colour from the canvas? Well, for some reason, mine still picks up the colour but it sets it to the background colour instead of the foreground colour.
And when I actually select the colour picker tool, it will only select the background colour but when I hold Alt, it selects the foreground colour. Basically it's flipped where it's supposed to select.
Photoshop :: Change Foreign Or Background Color With Color Picker

Photoshop :: Color Picker :: Choose Color Outside PS Application?
May 19, 2003Is there a way to choose colors outside of the Photoshop application using the Color Picker? Coming from Macromedia Fireworks, I have become accustomed to using the Color Picker tool within Fireworks, which enables you to pickup any color outside of the Fireworks application.
I have seen thrid party tools that let you choose colors from various programs, but they just give you the color scheme and you must type in these color values within Photoshop.
Photoshop :: CS6 Brush Preset Picker - Not Working?

Photoshop :: 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.
Photoshop :: How To Use Eyedropper To Select Color In A Layer
Aug 30, 2012if I bring a photo in to Photoshop, at that point I have just a layer and the eyedropper will work just fine selecting which ever color I want from that image. However, if I then bring in and place a second image into photoshop, so that now I have two layers that I'm working on, the eyedropper will not select any color on that new image. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but can't figure it out. I just want to be able to select a color from that second layer image.

View 4 Replies View RelatedPaint.NET :: How To Move Color Picker Out From Tool Box Into Color Selection
Oct 5, 2011I am a new user to paint.net, because the tool I used for complex image manipulation does not run on the OS of my new machine. Although I could easily purchase the newest version, I needed work on some pictures now. Paint.net was easily available and does most of the thins I need at the moment. In addition, it is officially supported at my work place, so it's a good idea to learn how to use it.
Paint.net has some great features and a cute UI, but there are some issues I would like to see improved. The one at the top of my list is the font preview. I am doing some text on a number of pictures and want to check out some fonts. Unfortunately I can't change the sample text in the font list (at least I do not know how).
However, meanwhile I found a even better function (actually the way I would like to see it). When the font list is open, I can scroll through the list and the text will instantly updated. Cool.
Great thing would be to move the color picker out from the tool box into the color selection, so that it would be always available. Also it would be useful to not only pick one pixel sometimes but the average of a greater area.
Illustrator :: In Color Picker / Selection In Color Palette Is Different Than Preview
Oct 2, 2012Working in Illustrator CS5 on a Mac. When choosing a color in the palette, the preview showing up is different than what is in the palette. If I hit "OK" the actual color chosen is the one in the palette, not the preview window... Including some pics for reference. In my 10+ years of using Illustrator, i have never seen this.I am using a Dell monitor on a mac... not sure if that would make a difference.

Jul 2, 2013Began using ColorMunki Display calibrator with my Apple 30" Cinema Display a few months ago. Going back into an old web project to make new graphics, I notice that the eyedropper samples known colors slightly differently. Mostly indistinguishable differences, but different is different. I am accustomed to getting a dead match, so this is worrisome.
View 4 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: CS3 - Eyedropper Tool Uses A Color That Is Washed Out By Comparison?
Apr 2, 2012I have the full CS Suite 3 and my issue is with the Photoshop aspect. It has worked for me beautifully for many years and, unfortunately, has come into a problem recently. When I select a color using the eyedropper tool (sample size 3 by 3 Average) it selects the color. Then, upon attempting to paint that color, it uses a color that is washed out by comparison. It selects the right color but the paint brush (I'm using the standard, 27 pixel soft brush, normal mode, 100% opacity, 100% flow) will not paint that color. It looks like it's adding more white to it or adding a muddled grey color. I'm not amused with this at all.
Â
I'm not certain whether it is my having accidentially hit something as to make this happen or if it is the program glitching. I uninstalled and reinstalled and, unfortunately, am still finding the problem. I will try uninstalling and reinstalling again (this time deleting all the preferences) to see if that may fix it. It does this with multiple images (all .psd files, multiple layers) so I know that it's not the single file being corrupt.
AutoDesk Smoke :: Color Picker - Why There's No Color Wheel
Nov 17, 2012what is still missing in smoke is having the color wheel while picking a color. The color wheel will enable us to pick any color straight from the wheel , it's much faster rather than trying to mix the desired color using RGB combination. it will be cool to see this feature in next release.

Photoshop :: Fix Color Picker In CS4?
Jul 17, 2009I have PS CS4 on a Vista 64 system and have suddenly noticed (perhaps it did this all along, but I don't remember using the color picker tool since moving from PSE to PS a few months ago) that the color picker tool does not even come remotely close to picking the correct color that I am selecting with the eyedropper. I was doing a tutorial on brushes yesterday and tried to pick the red color from my kid's dress in the picture as the foreground color for the brush. The color picker chose a color in the browns. I then moved to choose a lime green, again it selected a color in the browns. I have no idea what gives. My monitor is calibrated using Color Munki Create and, as directed in the tutorial, I am using the Adobe RGB 1998 color space. But for some reason, the color picker is not behaving at all.

Sep 5, 2008the small vertical window to the right of the main color picker window has changed on my copy of PSCS3. My other installation shows bands of various colors red, through yellow, green, blue, and finally red at the top. This way, I can pick an area of color for the larger square window at the left to make my selection. On the copy with the problem the color range is limited. The colors are instead of being the whole spectrum as above, just a limited spectrum around the color selected with the eyedropper.the range of colors that can be selected with the color picker is drastically narrowed.

Jan 21, 2008Something has gone awry with my color picker. I have my mode set to CMYK, but for some reason, it is not showing the usual color schemes. When I click to choose a color, rather than separating out the color groups, it is showing me a merged view, similiar to how it looks when you are on a RGB mode.
