CS6 Color Picker Problem

Hi guys. I don't know what happened but my color picker now looks like this:
If anyone had the same issue or knows how to fix it, please let me know.
Thanks.

The color gradation isn't as smooth as it should be. I thought it was obvious in the picture.

My Adobe Flash CS6 Color Picker has ODD colors. I'm using Mac Mini OSX 10.8.1. Is there a fix?

My Adobe Flash CS6 Color Picker has ODD colors. I'm using Mac Mini OSX 10.8.1. Is there a fix?
I click on the color picker and where I have seen the normal #0000ff blue color on my windows computer, this mac Mountain lion version shows a purple-ish color. Oddly, If I enter the hex # into the color picker, and use it as a fill, the correct color displays on the stage but when i use the eyedropper on that color, it shows it as the purple color again on the toolbar.
I've seen a similar thing like this happen when using adobe photoshop. However, the usual solution is to just make the managed color profile set to monitor RGB. The only downside with Flash is there is no preference to set that. The color palette in Adobe Photoshop displays as it should with the correct blue.
I should also note that I'm using a Samsung 941bw monitor with my mac mini which could also be part of the problem.
I figured i'd make this post anyway just in case it's the OS & Adobe Flash CS6 and not the monitor.
I've included a screenshot as well that shows that i've chosen the purple color and then made a rectangle shape on the stage and it comes out blue.
Thanks ahead for your response(s)

Seems misleading that on the adobe site for Adobe Flash CS6 it says:
System requirements:
Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7. Adobe Creative Suite 5, CS5.5, and CS6 applications support Mac OS X Mountain Lion (v10.8) when installed on Intel based systems.**

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.

"Dreamweaver CS6" color picker error

Currently I am using “Dreamweaver CS6” Version. I got an error when I selecting the color picker in the application it went to exit mode could you please let me know how to fix this issue. Thanks
Note : Pleases find the error screenshot for the attached below.

Does it do this every time you try to select the color picker or was this the first crash you've had from it?
A lot of "just started happening" issues can be cleared up by clearing out the program cache file/renaming the personal configuration folder...
Deleting a corrupted cache file
If that doesn't help, sometimes a conflict in your installed extensions or preferences may be causing an issue. This process resets DW back to the factory defaults...
Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6
If neither one of those work, a fresh install using the Cleaner Tool will typically get DW to 100%...

Photoshop Color Picker Problem ... please read!

Hi
I just installed Photoshop. When I try to choose a color, the colors are all messed up. I set the color mode to RGB and it still happens. The problem is that white appears light green. In the color picker, I see green fading to red fading to black.
It is not a monitor problem. All shades of grey (including white) show up in every other program - including the actual Photoshop application. It just happens in the color picker, and any shape or object I draw that is white, grey, or black.
Here is an image:

How can I fix this?
Thanks

It's not a monitor problem, it's a monitor profile problem. The other mentioned apps are not color managed and do not use the monitor profile. Recalibrate but if you're using an eyeball type calibrator, do not use your existing profile as a starting point. Use a different monitor profile or even sRGB as a starting point. Harware calibration devices and programs do not need to do this as they clear the existing profile automatically.

Color picker problems

I began having this problem in Leopard, (am now on Lion): My color picker does not function - at all. I can retrieve the color inspector, but the dropdown menu of the colors is non-functioning, I cannot select or use the magnifying glass feature. (Its almost like the whole thing is just frozen, or sits there).
I've noticed "NSColorPicker.plist" in connection with this, however, on searching my computer for this, it does not show - wonder if I may have deleted it?) I've also run the Color Utility twice, doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas??

That's the intended behavior (clicking on one of the white squares sets your current color to that color).
To add a color to the array of colors, drag its icon from the top down onto one of the array of squares. (I'm pretty sure it's always been like this).;-)
Bonus tip: when the RGB or similar sliders are showing, hold down the Option key and click to the left or right of the slider button to increase or decrease the color in increments of one.
Hope this helps....

Mysterious Color Picker problem

Hello,
I'm a webdesigner and use in my programms the OS X Color Picker. Now there is a big problem.
I'm writing in the CSS "background-color: #FF0000" and then pick the color with the Color Picker out of the website. The result is "#FF0009". That's really strange and I've no idea how to solve the Problem.
I hope somebody can help me.
Thanks

I've changed the Gamme at 2,2. This was the problem.

Color picker problem?

ok when i go to comp>layer>soild and i click eyedropper the box where i want to pick my color dont pop up it wants me to pick a color off my computer -_- how can i change that?

That's the way the eye-dropper works. If you want to use the color picker click on the color sample right next to it.
Sounds like you need to start with the Basics.

Cs6 color picker current & below possible issue

Could somebody please try the following and let me know if they see the same behaviour?
Create a Group, set it to Blend Mode Normal, with an empty Layer inside the Group selected and the Eyedropper Tool set to Current & Below try to pick a color from a Layer underneath.
I can’t pick up a color from there then.
Thanks in advance.

I, too, get the same result but I do not agree that the "Background" layer is considered by the Eyedropper Tool as being different to other pixel layers.
It seems to me that the ET in "Current & Below" and "Current & Below no Adjustments" modes, and the Color Picker, do not detect colours from outside the scope of a group whose blend mode is not "Pass Through". Of course, groups can be nested, and the rule appears to be that colour detection in C&B modes is restricted to the innermost non-"Pass Through" group containing the selected layer.

Photoshop Elements 9 Brush / Color Picker Problem

Hello,
I have been using Photoshop Elements 9 for more than a year, and recently I have been experiencing a glitch/malfunction of some sort with the color picker and hard mechanical brush tool.
As you can see in my example above, there are two things wrong: 1.) When the brush is painted, little grey crescents appear between the individual strokes of the brush. These appear even when I do not release the mouse button when painting. However, it only happens on a specific layer, and not on any other layer - in this case the layer entitled 'skin'.
The second malfunction is the color picker/foreground and background colors. As you can see, the foreground color selected in the example does not match the last color I painted (color splotch to the far left). The color that was actually painted was a far more saturated version of the selected color. Again, this only occurs on the 'skin' layer as well.
(My brush settings are: Fade: 0 Hue Jitter: 0 Scatter: 0 Spacing: 1 Hardness: 100)
Though these "glitches" are occurring often recently, I have found a temporary solution. Switching to another layer, then painting on it, then switching back to the malfunctioning layer seems to temporarily rid me of this issue. Yet and still, I would appreciate any permanent solution suggestions.
Thanks,

Delete the editor's preferences: quit it, then restart it (use the button in the welcome screen or organizer) while holding down ctrl+alt+shift. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

Font Colors & Color Picker Problem

Why won't the color picker change my font color? It has worked for months and today it won't.
[Title Edited for clarity - Hunt]

Reset the tool. In v11 & v12 it is at the right of the Tool Options panel at the bottom - a down arrow next to four horizontal lines. In earlier versions at the left of the tool options at the top of the screen.

CS6 Color Channel Problem When Saving Oil Paint Files

When I save an OIL PAINT file created in Photoshop CS6, it saves with red and blue shapes over the image. Before saving, the image looks fine. I'm running windows 8. Is it me or a CS6 bug?

There were some driver problems that caused single tile artifacts when running Oil Paint.

Photoshop CS6 color flow problem

Hey there!
I have returned once again to these forums because I seek help with Photoshop. I haven't used PS in a few months so it might be just me not remembering the correct settings OR a technical problem, but I seem to be having problem with color flow...
Here's what happens: Whenever I select a normal hard brush and try to paint with it the color flow stays the same and only becomes noticeable at around 20%, merely on the edges of the brush. On top of that the color values stay the same in the middle of the line I draw when flow is between 100% and 10%. I've tested and confirmed this with eyedropper tool.
However if I just click with the brush and don't drag it along the canvas the flow works just fine anywhere between 100% and 1%. Because of this it's impossible to mix colors on screen and shade artwork properly. I don't know if I need to check/uncheck certain settings, but I can't seem to find a reason why it's acting like this, nor can I fix this on my own. Could there be a problem with my tablet?
I really hope someone can help me with this. I've searched the internet for answers but couldn't find any so my last resort was to write on official Adobe forums. Thanks in advance for taking your time and reading my post.
Have a nice day!
Jerry
P.S. I've made a simple diagram to show you my problem and included it in an image below:

This worked in a way... I did exactly what you wrote, I changed the spacing to 100%(or more) and now the color flow is definitely noticeable no matter what it's value in % is, but my brush stroke turns into a series of connected dots.. I remember reducing the spacing from a default value of 25% to 1% on all of my brushes exactly because of this.
If I turn the spacing back down and below 100% to a more reasonable value the dots will start to overlap and the brush stroke will become smoother, but the color flow will become less and less visible as the % of the spacing decreases.
This is the solution I've come up with: In order to compensate for the visible overlapping at larger brush sizes AND keep the color flow functioning I increased the document resolution a few times and then pressed Control + 0 to fit the canvas on my screen. When you have a big canvas the large brush becomes much smaller and you can't really see the overlapping anymore, while still being able to maintain control of the flow of color.
But is that really the only way?
Also, what would you say is the optimal spacing value?

PS CS3 Color Picking Problem.

I'm using PS CS3 and for some weird reason my foreground and background colors have reversed. Every time I try to pick a foreground color with the eyedropper it rather picks the background and vice versa. How do I fix this? Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Chris,
You are the man! I've been using PS since version 2, I believe, and I never knew about that. No question is dumb but the one not asked, so I'm glad I did. Thanks for the help.
