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.

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:

Help making a panel w/ ability to use color picker/eyedrop

First off I have no programing skills what so ever.
I'm a tradition artist. And I'm trying to bring a little of that in to my work flow. I like working with a minimal color pallet. So I made a jpeg of one of my many color wheels that I made with watercolors based off of Michael Wilcox book "Blue and Yellow don't make Green" Great book.
I also know you can get the color picker panel from http://www.anastasiy.com/
But like I mentioned. I like working with minimal color pallet.
O.K So I put the jpeg into a swf/image loader. With a couple of buttons. I use a wacom. So I was going to hook that panel up to a button on my wacom pen. so I could pop it open and close it with a push of the button. I was hoping to be able to go to the color in the panel. Click and that be my for ground color. But that didn't work. I then tried the alt. button in brush mode and clicking in the panel. that doesn't work either. I know you can click in the image and drag to the panel to select a color. But thats just not a good work flow. I want to pop the panel open and closed when I want it.
I just want to be able to pop it open the panel. float over to the color I want. Pick it. Close the panel and keep painting. Like the swatch panel. But I like working with a color wheel. and I have way to many color wheels to make custom swatch pallets in a circular format.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
scott g
Heres a snap shot of what the panel looks like.

Way cool!!!!
Thanks so much!
Attached is the non-embedded version.
It takes the picture from Colors.png, in the same folder as the flash.
If permissions are not set, it will show an error message.
Wow! I get excited just thinking of the possibilities!

To Show/Display Color Picker Panel to user for creating Swatch- in SCRITPING

Hi All
I'm in need to Show/Display "Color Picker Panel" in InDesign, to the user to select their desire color to create a swatch through SCRIPTING. Can anyone help me in this.

I wrote a similar ColorPicker Script sample in the past, too.
create document
create rectangle object
show ColorPicker
choose color with ColorPicker
create RGB color swatch
(convert to CMYK color swatch)
coloring rectangle object to this swatch

Color picker in the Properties panel used to work

I have an object that I want to fill with a specific color. I click on the Fill property, choose the color picker, and type in the RGB numbers for the color. For example 240, 150, 100 for the RGB values. I get black. If I type those same color values into the new Swatches panel, I get an orange color. Has the color picker in the Properties panel stopped working?

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 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.

Select Color Panel - Color Picker

The select color panel should allow you to select a color from any part of the screen, not just the spectrum in the color panel itself.
This would make local adjustments MUCH easier, especially in the case where there are tonal gradations of an object.

Click in the panel and drag onto the image to get the color picker.

Color picker stuck in 32 bit float mode

I cannot get my color picker to go back to 8 bit mode. Places I have gone to make sure its set to 8 bit mode
info
comp window > color options > set project working space
file > project settings.
Despite all of them being 8 bpc, it is staying in 32 bit mode. I feel like I am missing something stupid. Any Ideas

Taking a close look at your screenshot your color picker is in 8 bit, you've just selected to look at the red channel and you've typed in a very odd number for green. I can get the same thing:
The gradient editor will let you type in anything. If you use the picker you'll get normal values. If the display was in 32Bit the values would look like this:

Why is my color picker not showing up in the gradient panel?

When I try to change the colors to a gradient I am not able to change the selected color.
When I double click on the color slider I want to change, the pop up panel gives me grayed out CMYK sliders. And all of the fill and stroke icons go dark and display questions marks ????.
When I click on the swatch button no swatch colors appear in the panel.
Am I missing something obvious here? I haven't had this issue before today. I am running the latest version of CC on a windows 7 64 bit machine. Please help! I need my gradients! I can't live with out them!

I drew my shape, then went to the GRADIENT panel and clicked in the default gradient box to apply the default white to black gradient. Normally you can click on either color to change it using the ways I described in my original post but those are not available to me. The only way I could add a color was to drag it from the SWATCHES panel into the gradient colors slider.
This means that I cannot make changes to colors directly in the gradient panel like before. I have to make changes to the individual colors but clicking on the color in the gradient slider then going to the COLOR panel and adjusting the color there. Or by dragging in a whole new color from the COLOR or SWATCHES panels. This is really killing my work flow.

How to convert U32 value obtained from color control of front panel to float(SGL) for use with IMAQ Draw ?.

I am trying to get user color inputs from front panel and use it in IMAQ Draw. I need to draw an oval of a certain color in a background of another color. Both these color values are user input. The problem is IMAQ Draw requires SGL color value and the color controls of front panel give U32. I have tried conversion VI's which hasn't worked. HELP !!!

Jake,
I think the color control can be wired directly to the input, but I am not positive. I don't know of any color conversions that would help.
Make sure your image is a color image. You can't draw colors on a grayscale image.
You might want to consider using overlays, which appear on top of the image but are not part of the image.

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.

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:
http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/colortoolswin/Color_Pickers_and_Color_Tools_for_Windows.h tm
and
http://www.anastasiy.com/panels
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.

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

Color Picker Rounding Issues

The new resizable color picker panel in CC2014 doesn't work the way I'd expect it to.
At it's current size for me, I'm unable to select pure black or red.
I'd expect the hue bar to start and end at 0°/360°, but, for me, the top-most value I can select is a hue of 350°
I'd expect that when I select the topmost-rightmost color, I'd get something like #ff0000 (pure red). Instead, with my hue at 0°, I get #ff0303
I'd expect that when I select anything along the bottom, I'd get pure black #000000, but instead I get anything from #020000 to #020202
I feel that this is an oversight that will negatively impact quite a number of users.
Has anyone else noticed this, and is this something that's important to you?

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