CS5 Color Picker HUD Problem

Shift-Alt-Right Click-Drag doesn't bring up the Color Picker HUD.  Someone suggested making sure "Enabale OpenGL Drawing" box is checked, but tis greyed out (says that Photoshop Standard" not supported).  Is this the problem?  What is Photoshop "Standard" and how do I find out if I have it?

Good day!
What is Photoshop "Standard" and how do I find out if I have it?
Photoshop CS5 can be licensed as Extended or Standard; in Standard several features are deactivated, but I don’t think the HUD Color Picker is one of those.
Check out Photoshop > About Photoshop to see if you have Photoshop Extended.

What is your GPU?
If it is not on this list it may be too »old« to provide OpenGL.

  • CS5 Color Picker HUD

    I have PS CS5 (version 12.0.4x32).  The Color PIcker HUD doesn't seem to work (shift-alt-right click).  The Enable OpenGL Drawing box is greyed out and there's a note that PS "Standard" not supported.  What's going on?  Do I have aversion of PS that doesn't support the Color HUD?  How do I find out if I have PS "Standard"  How can I fix this?

    At your suggestion, I went to Help > System Info, and here's everything that I found.  Note that OpenGL Drawing is now enabled (it was greyed out before but not anymore, I don't know why), but when I click "Advanced Settings" I find that Mode is set to "Basic" and it's greyed out (i.e. I can't change it).  The HUD color picker still does not work.  BTW, I'm very appreciative of the help and attention you're giving to this.  Thanks.

  • Photoshop CS5 Color picker problem

    Hey!
    Suddeny my Photoshop CS5 Color picker has gone wrong. It wouldn't let me change Foreground or Background colors and goes back to gray all the time.  I have not changed any settings, but last time I used it was yesterday and all worked ok.
    I have restarted my PC sereveral times, that shouldn't be a problem!!
    Thanx

  • Illustrator CS5 Color Picker Issue

    When selecting particularly bright colors in the color picker with CMYK, when i try to select the color, one box comes up with the color and a yellow triangle error sign and another comes with a much duller shade, and no matter what I do the duller shade is what it will give me. I keep searching for solutions to this problem and everywhere it says that the color is not availiable in CMYK and it's just choosing the closest color, but the thing is, i can make the vibrant color with the color panel and it'll show up fine. It's just the color picker.

    It's not a problem. You can make a lot of colors with the Color Picker which is showing which will not be translated into CMYK just as the warning says.  Look at the Help files or Google "Color Gamut" to see what is available.

  • Color picker spectrum problems in Ps6

    For some reason the color picker in Ps6 on my studio computer is not cooperating. On my home computer (loaded with the same ps6 ) the color picker spectrum goes from white at the top left to black at the bottom. So I can make a color darker by moving the cursor towards the bottom and lighter by moving it towards the top left.  It remained the same hue (red for example) but I could add white or black. This is also the way it is supposed to be, according to the Photoshop Cs6 book I have.
    Now there is no way to add white or lighten the color by moving the cursor. Instead moving the cursor changes the hue.  Red becomes hot pink if I move the cursor to the right. It becomes bright blue if I move the cursor to the bottom right.
    Also, the slider bar to the right performs differently. On my home computer it shows all the colors of the rainbow. On the studio computer it only shows a spectrum of the foreground color to the background color, in this case yellow to red.  No blue, no purple, no green, etc.
    How can I get the color picker to behave?

    It's behaving just fine. It's all a matter of which of the fields in the lower right has its radio button highlighted. For instance, if Hue is highlighted, the vertical slider shows a Hue spectrum, and the square box sets the Brightness and Saturation.

  • Photoshop CS5 Color Picker and Gradient Maps

    I painted a black & white image and put a gradiant map adjustment layer on top to test some colors for the final image.
    I set the color picker to "current layer" to keep painting on the black & white Background Layer to get the levels right without actually using color.
    But as soon as I open the gradiant map again, the colorpicker picks ONLY the colors from the gradiant map adjustment layer.
    Even if I switch off or DELETE the gradiant map, the color picker keeps picking the colors from the gradiant map, that is without ANY color in the whole document.
    This seems to be a bug. Can anyone confirm this behaviour?

    Thanx for checking. Resetting the preferences seemed to have done the trick. But after I opened the Gradiant Map, it happened again. Fiddling with my settings i finally found the clue. This strange behaviour only happenens, when the Panelwindow of "adjustments" is minimized and docked. As long as the window is fully opened and visible, everything is ok.
    Strange though, but glad i found a workaround.
    Thanks again.

  • CS5 Quick-Access Color Picker....anyone found out how to actually use it properly?

    Hey there,
    I'm a digital artist and use Photoshop for the majority of my work. One feature that PS CS5 brought on that i was initially really looking foward to was the new way to select the color i wanted in real time, rather than having to go and click on the color and then select it... minor difference i know, but it really helps speed things up not having to do that and adobe have finally implimented this due to that reason... aprantly...
    However, first off, i've noticed there seems to be absolutly nothing in Photoshop that tells you the shortcut command to show this new feature, which made me have to look online for it, and then the command is rather odd itself and the panel it brings up seems pretty unusable for me. The command is Shift+Alt+Right Click. This for me is quite difficult to actually do on an intuos 4 graphics tablet althogh thats more wacoms fault with odd feeling buttons, but then, Photoshop seems to offer no way to change this shortcut command to help me out there. Also with the panel itself, both the wheel and slider, i have 2 problems:
    1. I know alot of people don't work this way but there seems to be no reason it can't be changed in the preferences when you choose the wheel or slider, but i work in the "b" of LAB color, so the right bar controls the tempreture of the color and the left box of has all the colors in it...you can't set up the quick entry slider like this.
    2. It takes a while to actually get the quick entry color picker to get the color you want. The only reason this is, is because the way it acts is like you are always holding down a button so its constantly selecting the colors as you go over the menu. The problem here is, say i want a dark red.... i set the main strip to red, then in the saturation part try to get the color i want by stil holding these buttons and dragging out to that part of the menu. this will work. However, more likely than not i want to change the color just a *bit* more (say, to make it look like a colder red*, well then you loose the color you just found found because as soon as you move the cursor it selects all the colors back upto the hue strip...
    Now, logically i'm guessing this menu is working by figuring out when the user clicks and lets go as to when it shoud come up and dissapear. Hense requires the right click in the shortcut, and also why it is constantly selecting a color. This i imagine is also probably why it doesn't seem to be changable because it has to be like that perhaps? But i seriously would urge adobe to improve this vastly in how it works ad user control for cs6 at least. Its very uncomfortable to use and turns out being faster to do it the old way for the most part...
    So in the end, i'm just checking here, that there is in fact no way to change its keyboard shortcut, what color selection method to choose from, and to see if anyone else if experiencing similar problems with trying to use it.
    Thank you

    Some partial answers to some of my questions:
    They were conveniently all in one menu, and it's very easy to tell someone, "Go to the menu bar and choose Advanced > Print Production > Output Preview."
    But in Acrobat X, by default these choices aren't visible. It appears necessary to click Tools, which dramatically reduces the document width available), Print Production, and then choose from the Panel.
    Since this user interface isn't standard, it's harder to describe to new users, and keeping Tools open wastes a lot of screen space.
    It doesn't address the real estate issue, but at least one can describe to users they should View > Tools > Print Production and then deal with the subsequent tools pane that appears and therein click Output Preview.
    Another concern is the new interface seems to have destroyed the discoverability of keyboard shortcuts. For instance, in Acrobat 9, Document > Delete Pages was clearly bound to Command-Shift-D.But in Acrobat 10, how are you supposed to find the keybinding? It is not even in the tooltip
    In fact, it doesn't seem to be in the help under Keyboard shortcuts, or anywhere else in the help that I could find!
    OK
    in the "Page Thumbnails" "Navigation Pane" (formerly"Pages"; still F4) the right-click context menu has these shortcuts. As does what I guess is the "options" menu (analagous to a "flyout" menu but its in the upper-left of the pane rather than the upper-right).  This isn't all that great since every icon leading to a functino should show the same keyboard binding, but it's nice to know it is somewhere...
    More later.

  • HUD Color Picker

    the HUD color picker is pretty useful, but it's buried under a complicated shortcut (shift+alt+ctrl+right button) all held down at the same time. When all buttons are released, the color picker disappears.
    Here's my question: when the picker is visible, the saturation and value automatically change as you simply hover the cursor anywhere within the 'square' portion of its window. (The color ring is on the outer edges, and I'll get to that).  You don't need to click on the picker to choose a new saturation or value; you only need to hover ontop of the new saturation/value and then release the buttons when you're ontop of the saturation/value that you'd like to select. As you hover within the window, the saturation/value is automatically updating in real time depending on what location your cursor is ontop of within the square portion of the window. But the problem is that when the picker first becomes visible, the cursor is automatically placed directly in the center of its window. So when you hover the cursor to the outer edges where the color ring is (in order to shift the hue), it is also shifting the saturation/value as you pull the cursor from the center of the HUD window over to the ring on the outside. Hope this makes sense.
    How do you use the HUD color picker to shift only the hue without affecting the saturation/value?

    well, I've managed to re-map the entire process since starting this thread (using AutoHotKey). Here's what I do now:
    hold down 'b' on the keyboard (hold it down, not press+release) and the standard photoshop color picker window appears. I can now choose my color, hue, and saturation (as normal). No worrying about values or saturations shifting; this is the default color picker window.
    then, release 'b' and the color picker window disappears. This is essentially *identical* to the HUD color picker function, except that there are 2 improvements:
    -you no longer need to press 4 keys to get it to appear (shift+ctrl+alt+right button) - you only need to hold down 'b' on the keyboard
    -when you release 'b', the color picker window disappears, exactly the same way the the HUD color picker does.
    The only drawback I would suppose, is that's it's a fraction slower - not *quite* as fast as the HUD color picker, but that would be nitpicking. Still works fast, and great.
    But with the HUD color picker, I would still like to know if there's a way to keep the same sat/value while only shifting the hue... i find it hard to believe that Adobe implemented this HUD color wheel with such a major flaw... I'm thinking it's got to be something I'm doing wrong

  • Photoshop cs5 crash when using the color picker since Yosemite update

    Hello,
    I have photoshop crashing when I use the color picker outside the canvas, like on the black background. I got this problem since I upgraded my mac with Yosemite. I got this issue on my Imac and my Macbook pro. My version of Photoshop cs3 don't have this problem.
    Is there any upgrade soon for photoshop cs5 to solve this issue? It looked online and I am not the only one with this problem.
    After paying 800$ for cs3 and 250$ for cs5 upgrade, I don't want to pay again for the cloud version.
    Thanks,
    Martin

  • Stretched 'New Document', 'Color Picker'  dialogue boxes in Illustrator CS5.

    I opened Illustrator today and was prompted with the "Adobe Illustrator as detected a problem in the windows registry..." message. I came to these discussions and found that people got around this message by opening the program as the ADMIN. Taking these actions myself seemed to work. Once I got the program seemingly up and running again I went to open a new document only to find that when the New Document box opened it was stretched and inaccessible (see below).
    I then opened a file just to see if anything else was odd and got the same thing when opening the Color Picker (see below)
    It also occurred when I deleted a layer with artwork on it....needless to say, it's a mystery and I was hoping someone could help.
    Thank you!
    UPDATE: Upon further investigations, this appears to be happening to ALL of the dialogue boxes. And that it only appears to be happening to Illustrator, not Photoshop or InDesign.

    Hello John.
    And thanks for the quick reply.
    It's happening in the CMYK color mode. That's why it's so strange.
    In more than 10 years off experience with Illustrator I've never seen nothing like this.
    When searching for help in the forums I've read about some color situation with CS6 and the new Lab association. But I supose it didn't "contaminate" CS5.5. Unless it did.. in some update. Hope not.
    Thank you, once again.

  • 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:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSba26e7b0742782c7-ca98dbb124ffdb1d60-8000. html

  • Photshop CS5 paint bucket colors do not match selected color picker colors

    I recently installed CS5 on my laptop after first removing it from my previous machine.
    All licences were validated so no problems there.
    Now when using paint bucket in photoshop, the colors that I select in the color picker are not the colors that result when I use the paint bucket.
    If I create a new black canvas then the colors selected in color picker work with paint bucket.
    But if I attempt to recolor the background in an existing image that I import into photoshop, I get the mismatch with colors when I use paint bucket. My method for selecting colors is the same in each case, I select 'set foreground color' and set the color using html values entry at the bottom of the panel.
    Any help would be gratefully received.

    Try changing Image > Mode to RGB – does the Tool work as expected then?
    To quote from the Help:
    Indexed Color mode
    Indexed Color mode produces 8-bit image files with up to 256 colors. When converting to indexed color, Photoshop builds a color lookup table (CLUT), which stores and indexes the colors in the image. If a color in the original image does not appear in the table, the program chooses the closest one or uses dithering to simulate the color using available colors.
    Although its palette of colors is limited, indexed color can reduce file size yet maintain the visual quality needed for multimedia presentations, web pages, and the like. Limited editing is available in this mode. For extensive editing, you should convert temporarily to RGB mode. Indexed color files can be saved in Photoshop, BMP, DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine), GIF, Photoshop EPS, Large Document Format (PSB), PCX, Photoshop PDF, Photoshop Raw, Photoshop 2.0, PICT, PNG, Targa®, or TIFF formats.

  • Can I get the Apple Color Picker in CS5 Windows?

    HI -
    I'm a lifetime Mac and long time PShop user transplanted into a Windows shop.  Of all the things that I miss on my new workplace platform, the Apple Color Picker is the one that I encounter most often.
    Is there a plug-in, an extension, is there some way, ANY WAY, that I could have the Apple CP to use on a Windows version of CS5??  It might seem like a trivial issue to Windows users but to a transplanted Mac user - it's a major one.
    TIA your input.
    JL

    You probably already know your choices, as provided by Photoshop on a Windows system, are only Adobe and Windows per the Edit - Preferences - General tab.
    It may be possible some 3rd party could have invented an Apple Color Wheel work-alike, but I have never run across one.  Try a Google search for:
    color wheel picker Photoshop windows
    Such a search turns up stuff like:

    If you don't find one you like, you're probably best off just trying to get used to the Adobe color picker; it will afford you some system-independence for the future, should you switch back to Mac.

  • Problems with Optimize Window Matte Color Picker

    Every time I try to open the Optimize Window's Matte Color
    Picker when the palette is docked to the right side of the screen,
    the color picker opens off screen so that I can't see it. I have to
    move the palette to the center on my monitor to see the color
    picker. Anyone else having this problem?

    Matte Color Solid and Boris Vector Shape match for me. Matte Color does not.
    I could not get the colors to match with the eyedropper. I could not figure out what was going on with the eyedroppper.
    When I used the crayon selector, my results were the same as when I manually entered a set of numbers
    I'm doing this test on my laptop, looking at the canvas, DV sequence.
    By looking at the internal vectorscope and waveform I could see that the brightness and saturation were not matching. Hue seemed to be right on.
    By lowering brightness and increasing the saturation on Matte Color I was able match it to the other. But as Zeb points out, this visual match required different HSB values.
    Play with the Boris Vector Shape if you haven't. Cool.
