  • Color Picker Not Working in Develop Module LR 6

    All color pickers in the Book, Slideshow, Print and Web Modules work by clicking in the color picker and dragging to the image then releasing the mouse over the color wanted.  However, I am not able to get this to work in the Develop Module. 
    How can I get the color picker to work in the Develop Module?

    I tried UNchecking Use Graphics Processor, and the color picker worked normally.
    In addition, it appears the turning the GPU off increased the speed of paint strokes!

  • Mac v6.1 Bg color picker not working?

    I am new to this application and working through the
    tutorial, and my version is outdated, yea I know, but maybe there
    is something simple I am missing here...
    When I select a table cell and click on the Bg icon to change
    the background color, it brings up the color pallete, I get the
    eyedropper tool, and if I mouseover colors on the screen it shows
    the color code in the window at the top of the color pallete, but I
    am unable to click anywhere on the screen and have it actually grab
    that color....I just get an error chime. I can use the color
    pallete OK, and can even type in the color code manually that I am
    trying to pick up, but geez, that's a pain. Anyone aware if this is
    a known problem or if there is a solution?

    I've confirmed the color picker bug in 10.6.6. I filed a bug report.
    Copy of my report:
    Summary: The color picker dialog reports incorrect values on the RGB slider, using DigitalColor Meter as a reference. On the RGB sliders, the picker can fix itself if you use the spyglass on the test color patch.
    However, the "web safe colors" Color Palette also has problems. The color names do not match the values reported by DigitalColor Meter.
    This is reproducible on both my and my wife's mbp 5,5 13"
    Steps to Reproduce:
    a) for the RGB sliders:
    1) Quit TextEdit if open
    2) Open TextEdit
    3) menu, choose: Format->Fonts->Show Colors
    4) Using RGB sliders, pick Red=50, Blue=0, Green=0 (DO NOT TYPE, USE THE SLIDERS)
    5) open DigitalColor Meter
    6) chose RGB as Actual Value, 8-bit on Digital Color Meter.
    7) Hover over test patch on color picker dialog of textedit.
    b) for the "web safe colors" palette
    1) Quit TextEdit if open
    2) Open TextEdit
    3) menu, choose: Format->Fonts->Show Colors
    4) Using the Color Palettes, choose "web safe colors".
    5) open DigitalColor Meter
    6) chose RGB as Hex Value, 8-bit on DigitalColor Meter
    7) Hover over the selection patches on the color picker dialog of textedit.
    Expected Results:
    for a) the rgb sliders, DigitalColor Meter will report 71,7,8 (instead of 50,0,0)
    for b) looking at color "CCCCCC" DigitalColor Meter reports D4,D4,D4
    Actual Results:
    Regression:
    I am using osx 10.6.6 as is my wife, problem appears on both computers. I first noticed this with the color picker invoked by OmniOutliner Pro 3.9.5, but reproduced with the color picker invoked by TextEdit.
    I have color calibrated my screen with a huey pro, however switch back to the factory profile did not affect the "Expected Results:" shown above.

  • Eye-dropper Color Picker not working

    None of the PPro CS5 effects I've tried that use the Eye-dropper for color-picking (UltraKey, Color Key, Color Corrector, etc.) seem to work properly. When I click on the eyedropper, the cursor changes to the eye-dropper pointer, but when I drag this pointer over any part of the screen, the swatch in the effects controls seems to vary between different shades of gray - not the color that is under the pointer. Likewise, when I click over a color, only the shade of gray is picked.
    Clicking on the swatch in the effect controls to bring up the graphic color picker works just fine. Furthermore, in After Effects CS5 and Photoshop CS5, all of the color eye-droppers I have tried work just fine. Seems to be isolated to Premiere Pro CS5. Never had this problem with CS4. Any ideas?

    Hey all,
    This thread has been really useful to me as I have the exact same problem.... My problem is I do not have a machine like yours, I'm running on the most basic 13 inch MacBook Pro so 2gb ram, and I think Nvidia GeForce 9400M, will need to check, I purchased it in November 2009.
    Is there anything I can do?

  • Color picker not working Mac Osx 10.9.3

    In my Fireworks CS5 I can't use the color picker to find the colors code from images.
    Pointing on every pixel I obtain only grayscale colors.
    It's quite impossibile to work this way.
    Any help?

    It is most likely because Notification Center alters the menu bar and the dock itself. My facebook and my twitter button won't work properly either, but when i double-click the buttons it works. but i can't understand why your twitter button works once but won't work again.

  • Illustrator CC Color Picker not working

    Hey everyone,
    On selecting a new color in the color picker, the object does not update to the new color until you choose OK. Anyone else with this bug?

    jjangik,
    The usual Color Picker bug is that there is a two colour bar to the right of the rainbow bar.
    The following may still help, hopefully.
    It seems that  the issue is caused by a corrupt folder called en_US or similar (depending on language) within the Adobe Illustrator 18 Settings folder, see post #7 by Jules in this thread,
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1595766
    so the solution should be to move or rename that folder (or the whole Adobe Illustrator 18 Settings folder).
    You can find the folder in Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed.

  • Color Picker not working????

    When I go in to the color window to select a new color I can no longer choose anything, whether web only or not. Hexidecimal values work, and I can use the scroll wheel on the mouse to ever so slightly change hues (this takes forever), but that's it. I've tried going through preferences and re-installing and can't figure it out. Meanwhile my other CS2 programs have no issus with their color pickers (only Photoshop).

    Are you using the Photoshop SDK, a programmer tool? If so, please
    focus the question so the people here know how you are using it. If
    you aren't using the Photoshop SDK, I recommend asking in the general
    Photoshop (Windows or Mac) forum.

  • Eye dropper/ color picker not working right

    Everything so far seems to be working right except the eye dropper tool, or even selecting a color from the pallette it. Instead of setting the foreground color it's setting the background color which is really annoying, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling so far to no effect. Anyone else having this issue? Or have any idea what may be causing it?

    Hop into your Color Panel (Window > Color), and you'll see the two color boxes. Foreground/Background. Make sure the Foreground box is outlined. Clicking on it should activate it, and hopefully solve your problem.

  • Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype.

    Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype. 
    Microphone works fine with Quictime on another mac, so I do know how to use it. The one where it is not working (A) had an external microphone and camera attached earlier, and indeed it does work with that external microphone, but not with the internal microphone selected; and (B) had RealPlayer installed previously.
    Any suggestions, please?

  • Cross browser testing : Modifier Keys playback actions not working in chrome and Firefox

    Hi,
    In my work flow I have to select multiple items in list.So I have recorded 'Ctrl+Click' action to select list items.In Chrome and Firefox it is not selecting multiple Items.
    Even Ctrl+A,Ctrl+C,Ctrl+V also not working in chrome and Firefox.Complete modifier keys support is not observed in chrome and Firefox.Let me Know how to automate modifier keys actions in cross browser?
    Regards,
    Nagasree.

    Hi Nagasree,
    Welcome to MSDN forums.
    First,please make sure the Chrome and Firefox is supported by cross browser testing.
    Latest version of Chrome and Firefox supported by cross browser testing are Chrome version 38.0.2125.111 and
    Firefox 33.
    I doubt whether Chrome and Firefox in cross browser testing don’t support automating modifier keys or there is anything wrong on it if you are using supported browser. Since this issue is related to the Extensions tool
    Selenium components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing, if possible, I suggest you post this
    issue here, click “Q AND A”, and then you could post this issue there, you would get dedicated
    support there.
    Thanks for your understanding.
