Color Picker Layout changed ?

I see on Photoshop, the color picker has changed.
http://cl.ly/image/061O2a471y1u
I need to go back to my old one, as here there is no way to get the HEX color code.
How to change it ?

You can find your answer here Re: No Hexadecimal value in color picker?!
You must be working with a 32 bit/channel image or 3D - convert to 8 or 16 and you should see the normal picker.

Using the color picker component to change background is coving up the rest of the elements

Hello,
I am trying to learn some scripting for components.
I have a bunch of stuff working and I got the color picker component to change the color of a movie clip and another one to change the text color.
I have another script that does the background color, but, when I use it with this script, it covers up the other components.
How can I use the color picker to change the background color of the stage without covering up the the movie elements?
Here are the two scripts:
script one-works fine on the 2 elements it is targeting
import fl.events.*;
import fl.events.ColorPickerEvent;
myColPic.addEventListener(ColorPickerEvent.CHANGE,changeHandler);
function changeHandler(event:ColorPickerEvent):void {
    var colorInfo:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform;
    colorInfo.color = event.color;
    myBox.transform.colorTransform = colorInfo;
    trace(event.target.hexValue);
myTextPic.addEventListener(ColorPickerEvent.CHANGE,changeText);
function changeText(event:ColorPickerEvent):void {
    var colorTypeInfo:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform;
    colorTypeInfo.color = event.color;
    myType.transform.colorTransform = colorTypeInfo;
    trace(event.target.hexValue);
Script 2-works fine in an empty movie, but if I add it to the script above, those elements get hidden..
import fl.controls.ColorPicker;
import fl.events.ColorPickerEvent;
var bg:Sprite = new Sprite();
bg.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
bg.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
bg.graphics.endFill();
addChild(bg);
var colorPicker:ColorPicker = new ColorPicker();
colorPicker.addEventListener(ColorPickerEvent.CHANGE, colorPicker_change);
colorPicker.move(10, 10);
addChild(colorPicker);
function colorPicker_change(evt:ColorPickerEvent):void {
    bg.graphics.beginFill(evt.color);
    bg.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
    bg.graphics.endFill();
Granted, I they are changing colors differently, but I am not sure how to change the stage color any other way with this component.
any thoughts out there?
thanks

Drawbacks to the new CS6 Color Picker?

What do people think about the new color picker in Fireworks CS6?
I like the new larger swatches and default palette: a revised "Color Cubes" layout that includes non-web-safe colors and a selection of warm and cool greys/neutrals. I also like the option to view and enter RGB values and to specify transparency (for fill and stroke separately)
However, one thing I'm missing is the option to change the swatches from within the color picker itself. Previously, it was possible to choose from a standard set of color swatch layouts or the Swatches palette itself, via a small fly-out menu.
Now, that option is gone. The color picker simply picks up whatever palette is currently loaded into Swatches (except for masks, which still draw from a separate greyscale palette). To load a new palette into the color picker, you need to change the contents of the Swatches palette itself. This means a little less freedom for the user.
For example, if you've added a few custom swatches into your Swatches palette, but then decide you'd like to switch the color picker layout, you'll lose those custom swatches—unless you go through the extra step of saving them as a palette. Frankly, in Fireworks, I don't even know how to quickly delete a large number of swatches in order to save a custom palette like this. (The only option I'm aware of is to Command-click, which deletes a single swatch at a time; this requires a lot of patience.)
Another aspect that concerns me is the contextual nature of the Fill color picker. Accessed from the toolbar, a complete a set of fill options are offered, which is very convenient; you can quickly choose between No Fill, Solid Fill, Gradient Fill and Pattern Fill. But this is not the case when you access the Fill color picker from within the Properties Inspector. In particular, the No Fill option is missing, whereas this used to be the place to make this change. Users who to try to set the Fill to None here may wind up inadvertently sampling colors when they try to click on the No Fill option below, while the color picker is still open.
Thinking about it, there's plenty of room here; I think the No Fill option should be added back in to the color picker within the Properties Inspector—much as it's already included for Stroke.
Finally, I'm not saying that I used it a lot (I didn't), but I always liked having the Web Dither fill option; it's definitely a unique, textured look that's not commonly available in other applications. It's gone now.
The thing is, there's room for it. So why take away a feature like this?

Hi All:
Apologies for the cross-post, but I felt it important it add my message in this thread as well.
Just a note regarding the wishform. Your detailed input on that form is important and I really appreicate you taking the time to help make Fireworks a better product. So thank you for filing these bugs/concerns.
Keep in mind that even though one person may have indicated they filed the bug, you should also file your own bug on the issue if you are experiencing problems. This reporting makes the engineers aware of how prevalent the issue is and helps to prioritize which bugs get addressed first. Yes, I know, in an ideal world, they'd ALL be marked as high priority, but that's seldom the case with anything. Squeeky wheel gets the grease, etc...
While filing the bug doesn't necessarily mean you will personally hear from the engineering team, this doesn't diminish the importance of using the wishlist/bug reort form. This is a quote from the form itself:
>>We normally do not send personal replies to feature requests or bug reports. We do, however, read each and every message. We use the information to improve our products and services. Your comments, suggestions, and ideas for improvements are very important to us. We appreciate you taking the time to send us this information.<<
That said, I'm making an effort to bring these threads to the attention of the FW team, and if I hear anything myself, I'll be sure to let you know.

Photoshop CC Color Picker slow lag

Today I got a new Intuos Pro Medium and installed the latest software from Wacom (6.37-5 - I think.) I am not sure if this is related, but I am experiencing an extreme slow-down / lag when I attempt to use the color picker to change the foreground color. Basically, when I move the circle, there is a 10-15 second time period where I watch the new color value numbers slowly, one-by-one change to the new values for the newly selected color. If I move the color circle a couple times, it could be over a minute before the color picker allows me to choose OK and exit the dialogue box. I tried this on another computer that had CS6, and no problems with the new tablet. No issues with drawing/ painting very large with the new tablet.
Has anyone ever heard of/seen this? BTW, no problems a week ago.

Hi, recently I've noticed that my color picker has changed from this

to this
http://img368.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture7en3.png
I have been trying to reset the swatches and use other color libraries, from the button. But it wont change. Can somebody please help me? I don't know what to do, and I have not found any documentation on this color picker from adobe.

Hahaha I feel so stupid, I can't believe how easy it was, and how much time I wasted researching. Thank you very very much

PS CC 2014 Color Picker Sets as Background Color

When I updated to PS CC 2014, the color picker has changed. Whenever I select a color, it sets the selection as the background color, not the foreground color, and I can't find any way to change it without having to hit the "x" key every time to switch them manually, or hold Option while making the initial selection.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

There's a setting that governs which color is changed on a color pickup operation.
Do this:
1. Choose Window - Color to make the Color panel visible.
2. Click on the foreground swatch.
That sets subsequent color pickup operations to load the foreground color. I suspect you most recently have clicked on the background swatch.
Unfortunately, I've just noticed the indication about which way it's set is now almost invisible with a dark background selected. Look very closely... There's a slight change in the outline around the swatches showing which is selected.

Color picker reversed rainbow with color shades

my color picker has changed and i cannot figure out how to revert it back to normal. it normally has a single color with ranges from white in the upper left corner to black in the lower right corner. it is now showing the color ranges from light to dark in the narrower slider bar which used to show all of the range of colors. it's as if the two slider areas reversed and now the rainbow is in the larger box. i don't know what caused this to change but i do not know how to fix it. please help. i am using windows 7 and have the latest updates from adobe.

By normal, you probably want to click on the H (hue) radio button.

Hud color picker issue?

cs5 recently installed on mac at workplace. I don't seem to be able to switch form the wheel in preferences. Have chose strip, but still have wheel on restart of app. What I would like more is to be able to turn it off, I find it really annoying.I know if I turn off the gpu stuff it goes away, but the zoom thing is nice. Any answer?

BTW,
The HUD Color Picker is not the same as the Eyedropper tool sampling ring. I assumed you were talking about the sampling ring and wanted to turn it off. If you are talking about the HUD color picker not changing from Hue Wheel to Hue Strip, sorry for my misunderstanding. I'm not sure what might be the underlying issue for that case.
See this in the CS5 Help for more info:

Color Picker in Flash CS6 Changing My Picked Color

Program: Flash CS6
OS: Mountain Lion
Hardware: Intel MacBook Pro 2012
Steps to recreate issue:
1. Paint a color on the stage (brown seems to have the most dramatic results)
2. Use the color picker to sample the (brown) color from the stage
3. Use the paint bucket to apply the selected color to the stage
Result: the color painted from the sample color is not the color that has been originally sampled.
If you then sample the new color you have just applied, it again changes the color. Repeating this process over and over again eventually turns the color into the brightest red on the color palette.
Is anyone else have this issue or know how to correct it?
UPDATED: Attached is a link to the video of the issue in progress. For whatever reason my cursor doesnt show up correctly in the video, but what I am doing is using the color picker to sample the color and then painting the sampled color. As you can see from the video, the color becomes more and more red until it maxs out, even though I am just sampling the same color over and over again. The color on the left is the control color (the one that I originally sample) and the color on the right illustrates the bug.

I'm updating this thread mainly because it's the only thread I could find that describes my exact issue. I am having this problem. When I select a color using the color picker, it settles on a different, lighter color. THIS HAPPENS EVEN WHEN I ENTER THE HEX CODE VALUE. It's like Flash is auto-correcting a problem that doesn't exist. Help? This is becoming a serious problem for me!
Also Flash CS6, Mac OS X (10.8.2). The monitor I'm using shouldn't be relevant; Flash is literally changing the hex code value after I type it in or select it.
EDIT: Just did some research, found out that Flash isn't 10.8 compatible. When is that going to be fixed?

CS5 extended color picker want to change format

Color picker box has changed. I would like to change it back so tones are in big box on left and colors or hues in small box on right

Here is the link to the information that was helpful to me: http://planetphotoshop.com/color-picker-versatility.html
I had deselected the H button (on the right hand box with descending order of H S B I had instead selected the S button and so the format
that came up consistently was for Saturation instead of Hue.

Hi there - the first screenshot you posted shows the color picker in the HSB color model, the second screenshot is in RGB. Have you tried clicking on the "H" bubble to switch back to HSB?
Here's an article on using the color picker in Adobe Illustrator that you might find helpful: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/illustrator/cs/using/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-628da .html

Changing one color stop of a gradient with color picker

Hi. Is there a way to change just one color stop in a gradient by eyedropping a color on your art board? I know you can go to the color picker but it won't let you choose something on the canvas. Also I know I can make a swatch and drag it into the gradient, but really who wants to do that if you can just eyedropper that sucker! any thoughts? thanks!

When the color stop in the gradient is selected, take the eyedropper, press shift and click on the color you want applied to the stop.
Pressing shift means sometimes that colors will be converted through color management though. For example when clicking on a placed photo.

Color Picker won't change the color properly?

Hi guys,
I have a weird issue with the color. When I changed the color from dark green to bright lime green on Color Picker. The Color Picker show the specific color I want and then I click "OK". It did not change the dark green to bright lime green... instead it show the dull green color. It is really bugging me because I can't figured it what wrong with it. I checked the Color Mode (RGB mode) and Color Setting... everything seems to be right to me.
Here is the quick screenshot:
I also tested with other color, it still have the same problem. They won't show the bright color, it show the dull color instead.
I hope you guys can help me out!
Thanks,
Christie

OK, a few more thought on this.
Here's what I did and everyone can check for themselves. I made a screen capture of the Color picker and paste it in a RGB and also a CMYK document as shown on the images below. In the CMYK document this converts the RGB color values of the screen capture into the CMYK color space of the document and the colors in the palette are displayed within the document's gamut. If you take the eyedropper and click on any color of the palette on the image you will never get out of gamut colors and this is how they should be displayed in the real Color Picker. The Color picker can still display in a little box out of gamut color if they are selected numerically using the RGB or HSB models but the point is that the display of the palette should be converted to a CMYK color space.
In the RGB document on the second image, like in the real picker, clicking on the palette with the eyedropper will give a lot of out of gamut colors.
Now thinking about out of gamut colors. Illustrator decides what is out of gamut colors by comparing the color space of a CMYK document to the working RGB color space set in the Color Settings and for an RGB document to the working CMYK space in the Color Settings. But this is not practical all the time because it is one way only from RGB to CMYK and can not be set from CMYK to RGB, RGB to RGB, and CMYK to CMYK.
CMYK to RGB example: you may have a document with U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color space and one of its destinations is an sRGB color space. Because you can't set CMYK to RGB for out of gamut consideration, Illustrator will consider out of gamut all sRGB colors that are outside the U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color space. But in this case your destination is sRGB and all colors from the sRGB color space should be presented in gamut and there is actually a small part of the U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 colors that are outside of the sRGB color space and only these colors should be shown as out of gamut.
RGB to RGB example: your document is set in Adobe RGB color space because it will be eventually printed to several RGB printers some of which may have narrower gamut than the document. Then you want to set Illustrator to display out of gamut only the colors in the Adobe RGB color space that the RGB printer can't print, but unfortunately this is not possible even if you have the color profile of the printer.
CMYK to CMYK example: you may have a document with U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color space but one of its destinations is U.S Web Uncoated v2, or US Newsprint, again not possible.
So, in all these examples, the out of gamut colors Illustrator gives in the Color picker and panel are completely useless. Of course the major tool for these tasks remains the soft proofing which is working properly but why not make the out of gamut colors in the Color picker and panel work better and make more sense.

How to change the color picker/color space view?

I wanted to change the color picker/color space view to what it looks like in the other Adobe programs. I have gotten used to using the color picker from the other programs and I have had problems with the look and function of this color view.
In InDesign the color picker looks like this:
And the Photoshop/Illustrator/etc. looks like this:
I've tried changing the "Convert To Profile..." and the Transparency Blend Space, but neither have done anything to what I want to be done.
Is there some way to change this in InDesign?
Note: I want to change the looks of the gradient-like area if that isn't obvious.

I was wanting to do the same change as you, until I saw your two images.
Within the InDesign image you've selected a dark blue colour (R:16, G:49, B:152) AND you've got the (R)ed channel selected.
Within the Photoshop image you've selected a white colour(R:255, G:255, B:255) AND you've got the (H)ue channel selected.
In Photoshop I can recreate both of your images by having the same settings for RGB/CMYK and selecting the same channel item as you have in those images.
That's all.
There is no difference between the two colour selection dialogs except where the HSB, RGB, CMYK and LAB are placed.
