Develop module color picker issue...

I've noticed that in Version 3.3 that when I try to use the color picker it doesn't show the numbers (color representations) when moving the picker over an image.

This is a confirmed bug in 3.3 and has been reported.

Fill color picker issue

When I double click on the fill color in the tool bar the color picker window opens. Unfortunately it is opening to a color that is not the color of my fill such as this orange here instead of the green. I am wondering if I have some sort of color theme option turned on somewhere? Any help to get this back to normal would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, felt like I was going crazy

Photoshop CS3: Color Picker Issue

Hello All,
I am having a bit of an issue with my Color Picker.
As you know, when you open up the Color Picker, it has the large square with the assortment of colors on the left and the details of the color on the right.
As of today, Photoshop won't let me use my cursor to click and select a color from within that large square. Nor can I scroll up and down the rainbow color strip on the side.
Is there a way to get those features back?
Thanks in advance.

Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Color Picker Issues

I just got a new system here at work and noticed that when I select a color and bring up my color picker the color shown in it is far off from the color selected and I can not figure out why. In Photoshop, my color picker matches fine. Does anyone have any idea what the cause is?

Why are you using HSB? Just type in the RGB values of the
color you want
to use. It's a lot less complicated.

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:

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.

Develop module not displaying photos and tool updates.

This problem just cropped up on a previously working install - Windows 7, LR 5.6
The large display of the image in the develop module does not update for any of the actions selected in the develop module. Pick a tool, make an adjustment - you cannot see the results of your adjustment on the large image. The image in the filmstrip does display the results of the adjustment. Selecting the crop tool causes the image to go grey.
Using the simple tools in the library module - they all work and show the proper results.
I have uninstalled LR and re-installed.
I have purged previews.
I have deleted "Lightroom 5 Preferences.agprefs".
What next?
David Hidding

Further info - Full Screen mode in the Develop Module - it's just black, no image. FS mode in the Library module works correctly.
I have tried loading the latest video drivers for my video card, rebooted multiple times, etc. Frustrated.
I should also note that this problem started right in the middle of an editing session, everything was fine, and then suddenly, the image stopped updating.

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!

Develop module, 1:1 and Export don't look the same, color issues

Hi everybody
I'm using the last version of Lightroom (3.6 if I'm not wrong) and I'm facing a very uncomfortable issue with the Develop module.
I adjusted precisely every color luminance and saturation so it looks rather good in the Develop preview (set to fit), and did an export...
The preview I worked on and the export simply don't look the same.
I work with NEF files from my NIKON D3100 DSLR on a Mac OSX 10.7 MBP.
This cannot be the external display profile not correctly adjusted since I viewed every pictures on the same screen.
I unchecked every boxes from the presets tab in the settings window.
Here are some screenshots and exports.
Fit preview in the Develop module (left) and the actual export of the same picture (right)
Please note I didn't activated any lens correction option and adjusted any color. This is the RAW file and its direct export.
Screenshot of the preview window on top of noise correction options (left) and the same area once I zoomed in in the main preview (right)
I hope this can be corrected or I'm doing something wrong.
A couple of days before today I was using Camera RAW from PS CS5 to correct my NEF and was only keeping exports in JPEG. I decided to use LR 3 on my entire workflow and I'm being skeptical...
Oh right and please forget about every single mystake in my post, I'm a french student.
Thanks !
EDIT : i can join any required file or screenshot if required. I have some other shots having tthe same issue (a lot of ones indeed...)
EDIT 2 : i just found out the picture has much more acurate colors (relatively to the export ones) in the Library module in fit preview (Loupe I guess)

I have the problem on another photo.
I made a screenshot on the screen of my MBP, but it looks the same on any other screen :
Here is the export config :

Color shift between Library and Develop module

Hi,
I recently noticed a color shift between in the image when going from the library to the develop module. Yes, I know this is mentioned in the FAQ, but I did not find the solutions given there to be satisfactory.
Let me explain what happens: I have taken Photos with my Canon EOS 300D, in Jpeg mode with Color Space in the Camera set to AdobeRGB. The photos I am talking about were taken with Tungsten light with auto white balance and have a distinct orange color cast. I use Windows XP and view my Photos on a LCD Display calibrated with the Pantone Huey system. The Lightroom Library Module and Photoshop CS2 both display the original image almost identically (there are no changes applied inside Lightroom or Photoshop, I view the original image in both applications). Photoshop is set to use the Adobe RGB Color space as its working Color space, Softproofing is switched off. However, when I switch to the Develop Module, the colors (especially the orange hues) shift very noticably toward pink. I can only assume that the Colorspace conversion or maybe some implicit soft proof used differs between the modules. So, to restate the problem: If I switch back and forth between Library and Develop, without changing anything and in 1:1 view to avoid errors introduced by different zooming methods, the colors shift quite drastically back and forth.
I have to say that this is really quite annoying. The whole point for me to use the develop module is to use it to make adjustments to the colors, and for this to work properly I have to see the same colors in both modules and in Photoshop. There is no point in correcting a pink color cast away in Develop that is not even there in either the library module or Photoshop (and that would then have a stronger orange tint because I tried to counter the pink tint in develop).
So this leads me to the final question: Is it possible to tell Develop to use the exact same color settings as the Library Module? Or is there another way to compensate for the color shift?
I hope I was clear in what happens and what I tried to do. If it helps I can gladly provide a sample photograph that clearly illustrates the point.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Daniel

Thanks for your comments, Don and Fred. I hope that this issue will be worked on soon.
Fred, I have set the Preview Quality to High, but it doesn't seem to make any differences concerning the color shift. I have investigated this matter further by now and made the following observations:
*The color shift is a lot less noticable on my laptop (the laptop screen is also color profiled). On my laptop the change is more of a subtle shift in contrast than in color. This might be caused by the smaller color gammut of my laptop display though.
*I have uploaded a testimage so that others can check if this shift occurs at their workstations too - after all, it might be a misconfiguration of my color management software, though I doubt that (because Adobe already states that library and develop render different previews). I would be interested if the color shift I describe is noticable at other workstations too. The link to the testimage: http://www.danyx.com/colorshift.jpg (permission to use the image to test the color reproduction is of course granted hereby).
Thanks for your help, I hope Adobe will listen soon,

Lightroom 6 difference in color in Library vs Develop module

Hello,
i have recently installed LR6 and converted existing LR5 catalog. I have an issue that in Library module, all pictures looks yellow (like wrong color balance) and in Develop module they look correct. When i export a picture into JPG file it also looks correct. But the color difference between Library and Develop modules is huge with Library shifted into yellow tones.
Does anybody know what to do?
Best regards,
Pavel

Lightroom 3.0 Develop Issue: Can't Access Develop Module

Hello. Need to tap you guys' expertise!
Went into develop module on my Lightroom 3.0 run on Windows Vista. Did some editing with the color, closed the color I was working with, opened and used a new color, went to erase and the pic disappeared! Screen faded. I closed the program, re-entered my LR and this message showed up on a wide empty screen:
?:0:attempt to compare number with string
I exited the message box and went into my Library. Then, after finding pics, hit the develop module tab, would not come up. Same message appeared. I can access everything else in my LR but the develop module. I have tried to reboot the computer and re-access LR, not successful as message still appears. Tried closing and re-opening LR, but the same thing happens. Not sure what happened as this never happened to me before.
Can anyone offer any insight as to what may have happened and what I can do to fix this problem? I am pulling my hair out as I have pics to finish and cannot make any changes on any of them! Ugh! HELP!!!!! Grrrrrr...........

Just wanted to point out that re-installing Lightroom hardly ever solves a problem.
Updating to the latest version usually will do.
Should the preference file deletion not solve the issue, try to create a new catalog and just import the images you need to get ready urgently.
Better to start over with them than not getting anything done.
You can always import from this partial catalog afterwards, when you will have restored the rest.
This should address catalog corruption.
For same root cause you could also try your last backup(s) of catalog.
User presets could be the culprit, as well (move them hiding from LR).
Worst case: LR is an early detection means for damaged RAM...
I wish you a speedy solution,
Cornelia

My Lightroom 4 Develop module panel is no longer in color.

My Lightroom 4 Develop module panel is no longer in color (as in the temp/tint, etc.) are all black and white. How do I fix this? I heard it is because I updated my mac software - but why would that change the color of the tools in lightroom 4??

The issue occurs after upgrading to OS X Mavericks.
See Sliders are white, look different | Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
Fixed in Lightroom 5.2 and later (current version is 5.6).
The only fix is to pay to upgrade to Lightroom 5.

Book Module Lightroom 4 -- can I use a color picker to pick a color from a photo to use as the backg

I am trying to match a background color for a page in a Blurb book using the Lightroom 4 Book Module. Is there any way I can use the color picker to pick a color from the photo to use as the color for the background and as the type color? I see the color box for these situations, but the color picker only seems to work with the color array that pops up and doesn't go to the photo. Any suggestions? Am I overlooking something very obvious?

It works for me.
The usual Lightroom way: click the eyedropper onto the color palette first, then hold and drag to your photo to sample color.

Rendering issue in Develop Module

Slow rendering has been discussed in many threads, but can anyone explain what is going on with this specific issue I am having?
If I am working in the Develop Module and I render two raw files at 1:1, after the initial rendering delay I can generally toggle between the two and they are rendered almost instantaneously. I assume this is because some info has been stored in the ACR Cache and Lightroom can quickly display them. Now if I render a 3rd raw file at 1:1 and try to toggle between 3 images, one of them always needs 10 seconds or so to load/render. What is happening here? I thought the purpose of the ACR Cache was to allow for fast rendering of previously rendered images. I currently have my ACR Cache set to 10GB and I have recently purged it, so I am nowhere near the limit. Other system/software specs as follows:
LR 5.2
NEF files from Nikon D7100 (approx 30MB)
iMac 27-inch 2560x1440
OS 10.8.5
Processor: 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
RAM: 16GB
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 4670 (256MB)
Storage: 1TB SATA 7200rpm, 25% full

Thanks for the explanation on the RAM caching. If I am understanding you correctly on the ACR Cache, it sounds like it is essentially useless once you have applied some editing to the image because you need to wait on those edits to be rendered.
No, I wouldn't agree that it's useless. When you load an image into Develop you'll be presented first with a brief view of your Library preview, which should quickly be replaced with the ACR Cache "scene-referred" preview that will have any existsing edits applied before you see it. That should all happen quite quickly, and when that preview is loaded the sliders will be activated. When that happens you can start work, even though the full file is being rendered in background, and there is no need to wait until the "Loading" indicator goes out (as I said earlier, you can turn that off if you prefer).
So the benefit of the ACR Cache entry is that it allows you to start work in Develop whilst the original file is still being fully converted.
Note that although we are talking specifically about the ACR Cache entry, the same holds true for DNG Fast Load Data and/or Smart Previews. Which one of those 3 is initially used depends on what exists at the time of loading, and what file type is being used. But the same principle applies to all three.
In terms of reducing the rendering time, that's a more problematical issue as there are various factors in the pipeline which come into play, any one (or more) of which may be sub-optimal. These factors include:
1. Size of the files being loaded. It should go without saying that 36mp files from a Nikon 800 are going to take quite a bit longer that the 10mp files from say a Canon 40D.
2. Location of the files and speed of the interface, i.e. expect image files on a USB2 connected hard drive spinning at 5400rpm to be a lot slower to load than if they were on a 7200rpm drive internally connected on a 6gb/s Sata hub.
3. Once the data has been read, how fast is the CPU.....rendering a raw file will be quite a CPU-intensive task, so the faster the processor the better.
4. User expectation.....one man's "painfully slow" could be another's "quite acceptable".
With that in mind, I have no idea if what you are experiencing is "typical" or too slow. Putting it into context, all my original files are on a fast internal drive on a 3gb/s connection, I have an i7-930 quad-core processor (now over 3 years old, so not leading edge by any means), 12gb of RAM. Full loading times in Develop are now about 3 seconds per image when using 22mp files from a Canon 5D3.
Looking at the things you've tried, purging the ACR Cache and increasing its size would have no effect unless:
a) There was a problem with the existing cache, and
b) You regenerated new cache entries
Discarding old previews and rebuilding would have had no effect on Develop loading times, nor would downsizing the dimensions of the develop window.
Increasing system RAM should certainly be beneficial to other areas of Lightroom, I'm just not sure it would have a specific benefit to image loading into Develop. That might be dependant upon what else was running in the system at the time.
