the time I use the color picker in Photoshop suddenly IE opens the Photoshop help in a separate window. Am I clicking on something? All I seem to be clicking on is the box of color ranges in the color picker. I thought the Photoshop help was supposed to open if you click on the Photoshop eye on the toolbar, which isn't in CS4.

No matter how much I ask, they ar not going to download a viewer - they just throw up their hands and say "can't, shan't won't". So I end up having to take numerous screen dumps and print, which in reality are much less useful.
I have seen components by some of our suppliers (though I cannot find an example now) online and viewed in Internet Explorer where I can view, manipulate, and even section their 3d models without needing to worry about viewers.
How this can be achieved with Inventor Assemblies?
Since i have all kinds of Autodesk products on my computers, i didn't notice this. But a third party programmer (not for CAD) mentioned that IE10 does not open DWGs like its predecessors IE9, IE8 and IE7 did. Is she talking about DWFs or did IE actually read DWG files?

Inventor 2013 and DWG trueview and Inventor View 2013 (or 2014) on a windows 7 computer.
Trying to launch files from an Intranet site. The files always want to come up in a browser window.
In windows XP, I was able to go into File Types and override this by specifying the program (sometimes).
In Windows 7 the File Types have been redone.
I want these files to launch in their respective programs ( .dwg files in trueview, .idw files in Inventor View).
Things I've tried:
Resetting internet explorer settings.
Disabling all addons
Changing security settings to low
I'm tracing some site plans off Google Maps. Currently I have been using print screen, saving the file, and inserting a raster image then tracing over that. That is very time consuming and a real pain in the neck when I need multiple close up shots to get the detail I need. I also would like to do this to get accurate spot elevation information transferred from Google Earth to my AutoCAD drawings.
Is there a way to make Internet Explorer or Google Earth translucent such that I can still see the ghosted image of the map over AutoCAD, but be working in AutoCAD, not Google?
I have CS6 running under W7 64bit. For some reason, when I open up WE from within CS6 to select a file to work on, WE always opens maximised. I think this is new on my system.Â
Is there any way to get it back to open not-maximised, Same problem occurs when I open WE in CS4 but not in PE11. Googling hasn't produced an answer yet. My display is large and searching across the whole of it is a chore.
When opening a parcel (xml)Â report created from AutoCAD Civil3D 2012, Internet Explorer 10 displays message stating "internet explorer restricted this webpage from running scripts or activex controls."
In Internet Explorer 9, we would previously just click "allow blocked content" and the General Legal Description dialogue box would work correctly, collapse, expand, show information when buttons are clicked, etc. The attached file does function properly with IE9, but not IE10.
After upgrading to IE10, the General Legal Description Dialogue box will not collapse, expand, the dropdown buttons will not function properly, and information is not displayed correctly after clicking "allow blocked content"
I am assuming there is a new security feature in IE10 that will not allow the script/activex control to function properly in the .html file that was created. I have reduced Security levels in IE10, and also changed settings under Tools > internet options > advanced > checked boxes: "allow active content from CDs to run on My Computer," "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer," and "Allow software to run or install even if the signature is invalid." and restarted computer. This did not change the issue as stated above. I have also opened the html file in IE 10 64-bit and firefox, and still get the same results.
Attached is the file I am troubleshooting with. I have changed the file extension to .txt. If you download the file, just change it back to .html extension.

I have recently upgraded from AutoCAD 2008 to 2001. Now when opening a file from windows explorer (desktop vs the AutoCAD browser) and AutoCAD is not running. AutoCAD will startup and open a new drawing as well as bring up the dialog box for finding a file to open, which I cancel, THEN open the drawing that I have selected. I have not seen this before and am wondering what variable or option is causing to happen. I am also seeing two icons for the same drawing file in the Windows task bar.

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.
Â
I want the "Adobe Color Picker" to pop up (like it used to) inside PSE 10.
if you look at the image attached the colours on the right are what the color picker is displaying and if I use that hex code thats the colour the web page displays, but if i fill in any element the colours circled on the left are shown in photoshop.
Â
Why is the color picker window showing a different color to the whats displayed?
I'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:

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.

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.
You 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.
When I have any kind of layer, and I want to change the foreign or background color (with the color picker) I just cant. When I click on the foreign or background color it automatically selects the eyedropper tool, and I don't want this to happen.

The eyedropper is set to point sample and all layers. This problem does not occur if I open the color dialogue box that is part of the toolbar.
Is 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.
I 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.
Working 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.
View 3 Replies View Relatedwhat 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.

I want the "Color Picker" to stay open when I´m working in photoshop CS4
Do anyone know how I do that?
I 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.
View 5 Replies View Relatedthe 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.
