Pan Tool

Question

We  have 2 issues for years.
1. Panning - Why we can not pan canvas without tabing F button ? We want to pan canvas freely on default screen.
2. Color selection - Why we have to insert 3rd party applications for color selection? We want same color selection like Corel Painter did.
We concept artist, illustrators, painters are troubleing this 2 issues. See image below for tutorial.

Answer 1

I wholeheartedly agree with both these points. I got so used to working around these things for several versions now that by now they only annoy me subconsciously so to speak. I automatically zoom out or switch to fullscreen mode without thinking or really noticing whenever I begin to draw a path that is likely to touch the image edges. That problem should have been fixed many versions ago.
The reason for the introduction of the small Color panel in earlier Versions of Photoshop and other Adobe products was probably the small screen size back in the mid nineties where the regular modal color picker simply couldn't be open all the time. Now that that restriction is gone, there is no reason to continue to have two different color pickers in the application. For smaller screens like laptops, a simple "Contract/Expand" toggle like in Curves or a multiple-expansion-states panel like the Stroke panel in InDesign should work fine. A list of recent colors or a per-panel undo function could replace the functionality of the Cancel button in the modal picker that you would normally lose when making it a non-modal panel.
Note however that since CS5 there is a (admittedly a little clumsy) HUD color picker that can be invoked directly on the image that partly eliminates the necessity to go to the modal color picker every time. Also, I think since one or two releases back, you can now assign a keyboard shortcut to the modal color picker, so unless your screen is really big and you want to keep your color picker floating close to the area you are working on, that might be a possible workaround.
