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).

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 -
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:

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.

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.

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.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
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. -
Photoshop CS5 Color Picker and Gradient Maps
I painted a black & white image and put a gradiant map adjustment layer on top to test some colors for the final image.
I set the color picker to "current layer" to keep painting on the black & white Background Layer to get the levels right without actually using color.
But as soon as I open the gradiant map again, the colorpicker picks ONLY the colors from the gradiant map adjustment layer.
Even if I switch off or DELETE the gradiant map, the color picker keeps picking the colors from the gradiant map, that is without ANY color in the whole document.
This seems to be a bug. Can anyone confirm this behaviour?Thanx for checking. Resetting the preferences seemed to have done the trick. But after I opened the Gradiant Map, it happened again. Fiddling with my settings i finally found the clue. This strange behaviour only happenens, when the Panelwindow of "adjustments" is minimized and docked. As long as the window is fully opened and visible, everything is ok.
Strange though, but glad i found a workaround.
Thanks again. -
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. -
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.

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.

Color Picker Layout changed ?
I see on Photoshop, the color picker has changed.
http://cl.ly/image/061O2a471y1u
I need to go back to my old one, as here there is no way to get the HEX color code.
How to change it ?You can find your answer here Re: No Hexadecimal value in color picker?!
You must be working with a 32 bit/channel image or 3D - convert to 8 or 16 and you should see the normal picker.

Photoshop saves colors strangely
Hello. Strange thing I noticed. If I save a picture as .png then it's picture differs from what I see in photoshop, althought color picker shows me identical colors (I opened saved picture in paint). But if I make print screen of photoshop and open that screened picture in paint - then I get desired colors (as in photoshop) but color picker shows me differen rgb. Why??

In what app?
Is your display calibrated and profiled? Asked another way, what profile is associated with your monitor and why?
Mylenium is right, if a bit terse... If you have a display profile that is not sRGB IEC61966-2.1, and/or are displaying documents that are not sRGB IEC61966-2.1, then you can expect applications that implement color-management to display things differently than those that do not (and you likely have a mix of both).
Color management is not something that can be explained in a few sentences here. Go read up on it. There are a lot of overviews on the web.

My Adobe color picker won't appear.
Hi,
I've Googled this without success. For some reason the Adobe color picker is missing from my Photoshop 8.0. I don't know when it went missing. When I double click a swatch in the toolbox or swatches pallet or fill layers or effects window or anywhere I can think of to get the color picker to pop up I get nothing. My eyedropper tool gets activated, but there is no color picker to be seen.
I've changed my screen resolution to maximum to see if it was lost on an outer realm of the desktop and didn't find it. I've also gone to Window > Workspace > Reset Pallet Locations but still no luck. I've gone into Photoshop's Preferences > General > Color Picker and the Adobe option is selected which I've toggled in and out of it in case it needed to reset itself, but I still get nothing. Right now I'm getting by on my Apple color picker, which I find very limiting. I still have all the Pantone, TruMatch, etc., files in Applications > Adobe Photoshop > Presets > Color Books folder, but no Adobe color picker to access them with. My Mac's Home > Library > Color Picker folder appears empty (assuming I don't need to un-hide anything to see all file types).
So my questions are these...
1) What is the file name and extension of Adobe Photoshop's color picker? Maybe I'll be able to search my system for it and locate it somewhere.
2) What folder is it supposed to be located in? So I can put it there if and when I find it.
3) Can I download the ADOBE color picker somewhere? The only one I want is Adobe's. Particularly for choosing spot colors.
I no longer have the original Photoshop discs for a re-install.
Thanks for any help.The Photoshop color picker is built into Photoshop. There is no file, and no plugin for it.
The only way to get a different color picker (system or a picker plugin) is to choose another one in Photoshop's preferences.
But it sounds like you simply had the picker open on a previously connected display (and the OS is not so good about telling applications that the display is no longer available).
