How to fix color picker

Recently my computer was updated to the most recent OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. I have a MAC, Photoshop CS6 and use a wacom. I have done many of the troubleshooting to fix the many problems I have experienced with the update. Some of the problems that I have been mostly fixed, but still sometimes do not work are my short cut keys and lasso tool being delayed (which I see a lot of people are having trouble with as well). The major issue I am dealing with now is my color picker. When I am in the color picker window and am trying to pick a new color, the color does not change is the big box, which is frustrating because my job is 98% color. Please if anyone has any advice on how to chose this, I would be grateful. I have compared all my settings with another computer that has not been updated and does not experience any of these problems and they all match up.

A possible work-around: Hit D to reset the back- and foreground color.

How to show Color Picker value (draw zone)

Hello to all
How to make a selection of Color Picker direct the user can see the selected color? In my example - the color selected by Color Picker should paint the square. Any variants ? Preferably with DOM.
var wColor= new Window('dialog', ' ');
    wColor.orientation = "column";
    wColor.alignment="top";
    wColor.spacing=0;
        wgr1=wColor.add('group');
        wgr1.orientation = 'row';
        wgr1.alignment='top';
            btnRGB1= wgr1.add('button',undefined,'RGB');
            btnRGB1.preferredSize = [50,20];
            p1 = wgr1.add("panel", undefined, "", {borderStyle:"silver"});
            p1.preferredSize = [22,22];

How to use color picker or RGB values in the hue-saturation colorize adjustment

I have a monochromatic adornment that I want to match to the color of a logo. I am attempting to use the colorize option of a hue saturation adjustment layer to match color. But I cannot quite get the colors to match. I know the RGB values of the color, but how do these translate into the Hue/Sat/Lightness numbers of the adjustment dialog? I tried using the correlating H/S/B values fro9m the color picker but that did not work.
Any suggestions?

Thanks Zeno. Creating a layer with the color and using the blend mode worked fine. But as I stated in the original post, using the H/S/B (there is no HSL) values from the color picker does not work when you place them into the H/S/L values in the hue-adjustment layer with (or without) the colorize box checked. But your first suggestion worked like a charm. Thank you.

How to change color picker in CC 2014

The new color picker, although useful in some respect, is absolutely terrible when compared to the past revision of it.
Is there any way to change the color picker back to how it was pre-CC 2014?

I can only agree: choosing a grey shade with the current color picker in Muse is a real night mare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That said, I am really disappointed with the in-cohesiveness of color pickers across different adobe apps. Isn't it time to unify them??? Also, why can't we just drag and drop a color swatch from one application to another?? Isn't that the point of have swatches in the first place?
These color issues really cost me my last nerves and are simply time consuming (and completely unnecessary)!!!! Don't get me wrong, I love the adobe products, but color is such a basic and necessary concept in the creative process but really confusing at times across the board in the adobe apps.
Why doesn't adobe survey its clients to see which attributes of the color pickers, gradients, swatches aso. are popular or used a lot in different apps and then just implement these features in one consolidated universal color picker across all adobe apps??
Cheers,
Walter

How to fix color shift when converting ProPhoto rgb to srgb IE61966-2.1

How do I fix the color shift when converting my photos in photoshop to srgb for the web. I work in lightroom color space prophoto rgb and after editing in photoshop I convert it over but I get a shift in the colors. Thanks

are you working in 16-bit (ProPhotoRGB, you probably should be)
exactly how are you doing the Conversion
MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT CONVERTING ANY ADJUSTMENT LAYERS (flatten or merge them before convert)
AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE VIEWING THE PROBLEM AREA AT 100% ACTUAL PIXELS when you do the convert

How to fix colors in a pages file so they are correct when printed professionally

I created bus cards in pages and when I recieved them from the printer the colors were very muted and washed out compared to my monitor. How can I fix this when I reorder them so I get the colors that I want?

> don't confuse the O.P. There is no way you can print exactly what you see on the screen, paper will never match that
> That means still only optimally approximating what you see on screen.
General questions on ICC colour management can be posted on at www.color.org for answer by Dr Phillip Green of the London College of Printing. Specific questions on ICC colour management implementation in Apple Mac OS X can be posted to the Apple ColorSync Users list or to Apple Discussions for particular application products.
In general, with a photographic print (to reflective paper or transparent film) and a separations camera (Esko, Agfa, Kodak) in the nineteen-seventies or a colour separations scanner (Crosfield, ****, Screen, Scitex) in the nineteen-eighties, there was a viewable graphic as reference between the photographer and the lithographer.
Interchange formats for images (TIFF, JPEG, PNG and more), for page descriptions (PostScript, PDD, PDF and more), and internationalised connectivity infrastructure have brought about a situation where colourants in pixel patterns and scalable vector shapes are distributed in blind interchange.
In a digital scan or digital camera capture, there is no viewable graphic on a physical medium. There is only colourant data in a colourant format (emissive and additive RGB, reflective and subtractive CMY, CMYK, CcMmYK, Gray, for instance).
Australian metaphysics aside, it is an impossible proposition that there be no interchange of colourimetry interchange in order that interchange of colourants be supported by specification of the colours intended to be formed by those colourants on digital graphic devices.
A photographer working in Australia has no possible way of anticipating what devices are available to audiences in Austria, or what configuration those devices have (gamma setting for displays, paper selection for printers, for instance).
What the photographer does is Create Once, Convert Many: Colour correct the exposure using the ICC device profile for the capture device, convert into a suitable interchange space, and don't change the colourants on disk ever again.
The ICC colour management system will pluc the input colourimetry specification into a subregion of the PCS Profile Connection Space, plug the output colourimetry specification into a subregion of the PCS Profile Connection Space, and task the CMM Colour Management Module to convert the pixels.
The display used by the photographer is the destination device in the photographer's ColourWorld and the displays used by the audience are the destination devices in the ColourWorlds they create with the device profiles for their custom configurations.
The display colour space is not interchanged, it is only invoked locally for - surprise, surprise - display. The interchange colourimetry space defines which colours can be output, because it is impossible to output colours that cannot be defined in the interchange colourimetry space.
If the CIEL*a*b* D50 colourimetry for 10% Cyan on glossy paper under ISO 12647 cannot be defined in sRGB, then the photographer who chooses sRGB as interchange colourimetry space cannot provide that colour even if the colour in principle could be rendered on a given device.
Precisely the same pertains for transliteration in small character sets such as ANSI X3.4–American Standard Code for Information Interchange. For instance, ASCII cannot input æ, Æ as in Hans Christian Andersens Keiserens nye Klæder, Eng. The Emperor's New Robes, so æ, Æ cannot be interchanged.
Whether the user locally has a good viewing condition, a mediocre viewing condition or a madcap viewing condition is immaterial to the working of the ICC colour management system for interchange of colourimetry information.
Colour management as such is not a craft or art, but a science. Art is part of the science of colour management in that there is no science that says which way is best for vectoring colours outside a destination gamut into that destination gamut.
Thus no two profiling packages will vectorize out of gamut colours precisely the same, nor will any two colour correctors. Similarly, no two type designers will vectorize (kern) interglyph spacing the same, because that is part of visual art and not part of science.
In general, please post proper technical information on ICC colour management. Posting that colour communication for blind interchange in information society is impossible is helpful to no-one, and is simply non-sense from the start.

How to Fix: Color CC Only Syncing Old Saved Kuler Themes to Illustrator, Not Any New Themes I Make/Save?

When I open the Color Themes panel in Illustrator CC (2014.1.0 Release), and click the "refresh" button, it only pulls in the themes I had saved on the web back when it was "Kuler." No new themes that I make (that show up on the web under "My Themes") sync with Illustrator. How do I get the new themes to sync?
(I've already logged in & out, restarted the programs and the computer, to no avail.)
Help?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am running OSX (10.9.5), and I just installed the latest security update & restarted. Still, it doesn't seem to resolve my problem, unfortunately.
Within the Color Themes palette, it still has my old themes, but when I refresh, the new ones don't show up, and it doesn't mention any error.
Incidentally, when I open the "Illustrator"/Application menu and scroll to where it lists my Adobe ID email, in the fly-out menu it says it wasn't able to sync my settings because an "Unknown Error Occurred." However, nothing seems to be out of order when I click in to manage the sync settings.
Thanks,
Rachel

How To Fix Color Registration in Scanned Images

Hi --
I have been struggling with a problem, one that may have a relatively simple answer, but I'm just not enough of a PS wizard to come up with it.
Here's the problem. A lot of my PS work is on scanned images from newspapers. These 4-color images often have out of register colors. Here's an example:
This example is particularly bad, with all the registers out of whack (not the colors intruding in the word balloon, the skin tones not staying within the lines of the heads, etc.). I assumed I could fix problems like this pretty easily by switching the image to CMYK, and then nudging the C, M and/or Y channel contents around a little so that they'd line up properly. But I found that this seemingly obvious and simple solution didn't work at all, because as you can see in the Y channel:
it not only contains yellows, but also the yellow component of black. So if I select everything non-white in the Y channel and nudge it into place, this is what I get:
Now I have created a yellow 'shadow' of all the black portions of the drawing (especially obvious in the word balloon in this example). So I'm obviously going about this the wrong way. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Eye dropper tool not working! (color picker)

Okay, I am fairly new to photoshop, so maybe I am doing something wrong. My eye dropper tool is not working at all.
Say I want to select the color of someone's face. I click my eye dropper, then click somewhere on the subject's face. My foreground and background colors both become white (when one was previously black). I click on a green shirt... both are still white. I click something black... both are still white. Am I going about color picking wrong? I have tried the sample size as point sample, 3X3 and 5X5. No luck.
How do you color pick?

Make sure you are selecting the right tool. It's in the Draw section of tools. Please donot confuse it with Red eye removal tool.
Try resetting the Editor's preferences. To do it, close Editor. Open Welcome Screen. Before clicking to launch Editor, press Ctrl+ Alt+Shift and then launch Editor. It will open a dialog box. Click Yes. See if this helps.

HSB color picker

Does anyone know of a plugin for IND that enables an HSB color picker? I really can't stand the color picker. It gets tiresome having to switch to PS for color picking. I understand how the IND color picker works, but there's no reason why there can't at least be an HSB option, especially for people who are now using IND to design things like ebooks. It's a waste of time. Any plugins that enable fast efficient HSB picking from within IND?

HSB would be invaluable not just for online work, but also for the conceptual phase of any design project.
It's easy to forget that, before we start production on any project, we actually have to design it. I do all my own production, so I love the production advances that have dominated InDesign's development.
But I'm a designer first and a production jockey second. I'd like to see some focus on the conceptualization end of things.
HSB is a much more productive model for conceptual design – it's the model for color theory in design.
Human beings understand it much more intuitively than RGB or CMYK. (RGB and CMYK mimic the sensor instrumentation of color vision, but not so much the perceptual end of things)
It's also odd that the integrated Creative Suite has HSB in Ps and Ai, but leaves it out in Id.
I'd really like to see this model added to ID's color system.

How can I create a Tree with Color Picker icons?

I'm a newbie to Flex. I want to create a tree which has color
picker icons.
As an analogy for the Mac users out there, I envision a
control like the Calendars section in iCal, where you can specify
the color for each individual node. These colors are then used in
other parts of the application.
The Flex 3 documentation specifies four methods for setting
node icons on a Tree control, none of which seems to suit my needs:
-The folderOpenIcon, folderClosedIcon, and defaultLeafIcon
properties
-Data provider node icon fields
-The setItemIcon() method
-The iconFunction property
In other words, I want to "setItemIcon" to an mx:ColorPicker,
if that makes any sense.
Is there a standard way of doing this? If not, how can I go
about implementing such a control? Thanks in advance!

well, Network UI should be used.

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)
-Line

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.**
