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

  • HUD color picker in CS6

    I am seeing something very strange when I attempt to access the HUD color picker in PS CS6. The picker only displays when I have the PS Preferences box open. If I use the keyboard shortcut of 'control+option+cmd click' with only the image open minus the Preferences I get nothing.
    I am using a MacPro with  NVIDIA GeForce 320M.
    Any ideas as to how to fix?

    The HUD colour picker doesn't appear when certain tools are active. It won't appear with Move Tool or Rectangular Marquee, for example, but it should appear with most tools. I'm using the same GPU with OS X 10.6.8.

  • 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:

  • Photoshop HUD Color Picker

    I am using CS6 and I can't get the "Show Sampling Ring" to accept the check mark to make it active. I have an image up I am on the background layer and I have the Eye Dropper selected. I have tried the shortcut of alt + shift and right clicking and that doesn't work either. My video card is a NVIDIA and I thought I would try and update the drivers for that but I don't know how to do it for that card. I also am not sure if I should check or not check Use Graphics Processor under Preferrences which I tried both ways and it doesn't make any difference. Any help would be appreciated.

    65alias, what you're experiencing sounds like classical problems with drivers.
    Ensure you have updated your video driver, and if you don't have the latest tablet driver you'll want to remove it and install the latest from the Wacom web site (i.e., don't update it in place, specifically remove then install).

  • 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.
    Someone suggested making sure "Enabale OpenGL Drawing" box is checked, but tis greyed out
    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.

  • Can I pop out the color picker in Photoshop CS6?

    Hey everyone,
    I am doing digital painting in Photoshop CS6, and would love it if I could keep my color picker open in a separate window. Does anyone know how to do this? I've seen an artist named Feng Zu do this in a painting tutorial video, but he doesn't explain how.
    Thanks!

    You can also get to a HUD (Heads Up Display) version of the Color Picker by holding down the Control+Option+Command keys on a Mac (Alt+Shift+Right Click on a PC, I believe)
    But I personally find the HUD color picker unintuitive and problematic.
    If you find a way to keep a floating Color Picker window, post back. That could be convenient.

  • Hue Wheel color picker in floating panel

    Photoshop gods,
    Please give me a Hue Wheel color picker, like the one only available as a "HUD" picker. Is that too much to ask?
    I know I can buy one 3rd party, but I pay good money for the industry standard photo editing/painting program. I'd like for it to have the basic features built in.
    Amen.

    Jay, that is a known bug, reported it months ago and hope it will be fixed
    soon. The Color picker (picking colors) is still functional, it is only typing in of Hexadecimal codes that is not possible at this moment.

  • 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.

  • Color picker does not work, " program error when I click, photoshop cc

    I am user of photoshiop cc and it worked fine until several days ago but suddenly it shows " program error " when I click color picker, and I can not use changing color. Please help me to resolve this issue.

    There was a bug with photoshop CC concerning the color picker and its swatches. Make sure you have the latest version and then if it still exists, reset your tools in the upper left hand corner which would be the very first icon in the top tool bar. That should fix it. If not let us know and maybe someone can think of something else.

  • Photoshop CC Color Picker slow lag

    Today I got a new Intuos Pro Medium and installed the latest software from Wacom (6.37-5 - I think.)  I am not sure if this is related, but I am experiencing an extreme slow-down / lag when I attempt to use the color picker to change the foreground color.  Basically, when I move the circle, there is a 10-15 second time period where I watch the new color value numbers slowly, one-by-one change to the new values for the newly selected color.  If I move the color circle a couple times, it could be over a minute before the color picker allows me to choose OK and exit the dialogue box.  I tried this on another computer that had CS6, and no problems with the new tablet.  No issues with drawing/ painting very large with the new tablet. 
    Has anyone ever heard of/seen this?  BTW, no problems a week ago.

  • Color picker bug in photoshop CC

    Hey guys,
    Has anybody seen this bug yet.
    This will pop up on a new document when trying to change colors. It shows with the color picker, the swatch panel, hitting d or x. However alt-backspace and ctrl-backspace work.
    Rebooting photoshop does not help, nor does shift, alt, ctrl on reboot.
    At first I thought it was the document itself, but it also occurs with file>new>web 800x600.
    If it helps, the error does not show with no document open (all documents are closed)
    And now for my specs:

  • Gradient Color Picker

    Dear Community,
    i have a Problem with Illustrator CS6. I've attached an image below.
    I have an object with gradient fill and i've selected the first color stop.
    In previous Versions of AI i could the pick any color with color Picker while holding the shift-key.
    In CS6 this changes the color only in the Gradient Panel but not the Object itself:
    I have to admit that i'm glad not to be a creative cloud user so i'm able to switch between Ai cs 5.1 and 6
    because both have some features missing in the other version.
    My best,
    Herr K. aus Berlin

    Re: Gradient Color Picker
    created by Mike Gondek
    This still works for me in CS6 mac, but more importantly try not to use Shift eyedropper. The topic has been discussed here many times. Shift eyedropper is not accurate and samples the screen values, not the actual color.
    Try using global swatches more often. Try this instead
    select a gradient stop
    Alt click on a swatch
    If the swatch is set to global, you can easily change/adjust/merge colors later with one command on a global document level.
    Thanks for the advice. I never had problems with shift-click picker i sample colors from other objects and even if they have Spot colors assigned it works, at least in CS5. I've tried in CS6 it's just not working. I've been told that there has been many discussions and i've read some. I'll stick to CS5. I'm very disapointed with adobe. This is a known bug it has been reworked on Mac Versions but not on PC.

  • How do I use the color picker in Photoshop CC it will not pull in my swatches and how do I change swatches to another pallet from pantone?

    How do I make the color picker work in Photoshop CC? It will not pull in my new swatch colors it just uses old pantone swatches?
