Switching color modes in color panel?

When designing within the RGB color space, why would you switch between using RGB and HSB colors when applying color to shapes?
Thanks.

HSB is simply more "human" or intuitive. The Color panel has no direct relation to the document color mode other than that the panel will consistently default to whatever the document's mode is. For example, switch it to HSB, click around a few times and you'll notice the color panel is back on RGB. Annoying.. but that's for another thread.
HSB is simply an easier way to change the hue, saturation or brightness of the current color. It can be difficult to remove 10% saturation from R144G234B115, but it's very easy to remove 10% from the Saturation slider in HSB mode. Using ANY setting in the color panel won't change your document, it simply changes how color data in the panel is displayed.
In short... it's just an easier way to visually change colors at times.

Using the Color Panel in HSB mode

Using the Color Panel in HSB mode. I start by selecting a color in the spectrum at the bottom using the eyedropper.
As I drag the eyedropper through the spectrum it seems the H slider moves to the same color.
1. Is the H slider showing the same exact thing that is in the color spectrum at the bottom?
Thanks.

Yes if you drag a strait line so that the other two sliders don't move. In other words you are changing only the Hue (H). If you drag up and down the other two sliders Saturation and Brightness will be affected.
Hi Grant, nice to see you again

How to use IMAQ extract color panel in a LabView file?

I want to change a color image into a greyscale image. Therefore I want to use the function IMAQ extract color panels but I don't know how to insert it in my LabView application.
Please, can anyone give me some advice ?!!!
Thx, Birgit

Birgit,
If you want all of the color planes, you can use IMAQ ExtractColorPlanes. Allocate an 8-bit image for each of the color planes. Wire the original color image and each of the 8-bit images for the color planes on the left and bottom of the vi. The outputs on the right side will be the same images, and they will each contain the desired color plane. The input at the top of the vi controls which color planes are extracted (RGB, HSI, etc.) Grayscale will probably be the I plane in HSI.
If you just want a grayscale image, use IMAQ ExtractSingleColorPlane instead. Wire the color image to Image Src, and wire an 8-bit image to Image Dest. Select the color plane using the top input, and it will come out on the right side.

Photoshop CC 2014 - color panel resizing by itself?

Hello,
I am wondering if anyone else has reported (or even experienced) the new color panel in Photoshop CC 2014 resizing itself when maximizing and then restoring the Photoshop CC 20114 application frame?
Here are some images to illustrate the issue I am experiencing:
This is on initial launch of PS CC 2014 after install and then reboot.
This is the initial maximize of PS CC 2014 application frame (using green button).
This is the initial restore command (using green button).
This is the second maximize (using green button).
This is the second restore command (using green button).
This is the third maximize (using green button).
... and the fourth maximize (using green button).
As you can probably see through the progressive process that the color panel is stretching vertically with each maximize / restore combination. It seems to stop stretching after the fourth series.
Machine specs:
MacBook Pro 17" (late 2011)
2.5 Ghz. i7 Intel Processor
AMD Radeon HD 6770M - 1 GB VRAM
16 GB RAM - OWC Brand
480 GB SSD - OWC Brand
OS X 10.9.3 - Clean Install (all updates installed)
PRAM and SMC refreshed
Permissions repaired
Disk verified
Clean Install of:
Adobe Creative Cloud app
Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 app
Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 app
No plug-ins or other third-party add-ons.
I thought I would mention it in case this hasn't been reported yet (or perhaps there is something bizarre going on with my machine).
Thanks for any insight or acknowledgement.

Just giving this a bump and a quick note.
I just performed a clean install of OS X 10.9.3 again on machine spec'd above and then installed Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6 perpetual license versions. While the new color panel seen in PS CC 2014 is not part of CS6, I wanted to test to see if the color panel was resizing itself as I saw with PS CC 2014. It is not.
I am running Adobe CC 2014 versions at work on a Dell workstation under Windows 7 Professional. I will test on that system to see if the same resizing of color panel by itself occurs and post back sometime tomorrow.
Note - if an engineer, staff member or moderator could mention whether this has been logged as a potential issue that would be great. I will of course log a report with a link to this post this morning.
Thanks for any response.

Breaking Apart Images and Bitmaps in Color Panel

When I break apart a bitmap and use the eyedropper to sample
it and then fill in a shape, I notice that the bitmap also stays in
the color panel as a bitmap. Will this become a permanent part of
my Flash installation or is it only accessible for this file? I
opened a new file and it did not seem to appear for it. I just want
to make sure I understand the purpose of it displaying in the color
panel. What is the point of this?
Thanks.

Not sure I totally understand - the point is so you can pick
this swatch "color" again in this
document. If you delete the bitmap from the document's
library it will go away. If you open a new
doc it won't be there because the new doc doesn't contaqin
any imported/broken apart/color-picked
bitmaps.
I have to ask, what were you expecting to happen with this
particular swatch? Or rather, is there a
better workflow solution for you perhaps? Just curious.

Title Window - Colors Panel

I seem to have lost my colors panel in the title window.
The first time I tried TITLER, I couldn't find the colors panel to change text colors, any colors, etc. I then found it was behind the panel that TITLE opened in. OK, fine. There it was, behind it.
Now, the colors panel is not behind it nor anywhere to be found. I even asked my dog if he maybe thought it was a bone and buried it (LOL-he just scratched and went to sleep).
Where oh where did that color panel go, ohhhh, where oh where can it be?

Bill -
Nope, tried that then looked everywhere, undocked windows, everywhere - no colors panel. WOW - CS5 is just a learning workhorse.
With luck, an employee might show up and advise. That would be great customer service!

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.

Issues with color panel and other windows on right side of flash

Ok the issue I'm having with flash is that the windows on the right side of my flash window do not snap up when I collapse a window. I am attaching a screen shot to better explain this issue.
As you can see I have the color panel collapsed up, when I expand this panel and it goes down everything shifts down. however when I collapse it back up a huge gap is left behind in CS5.5 as is displayed in screen shot number 2. In CS4 I never had this problem. I could expand and collapse panels as I saw fit with no problems what so ever. Everytime now that I expand a panel and collapse it, the library or other panels do not move up with the collapsing. This causes a workspace issue. and forces me to drag up the library via the black line that is just above it but below the align panel so that I have better access to my library or properties panel for when I'm working. I find this highly annoying and would like it if there could be a fix produced to make it so this collapsing issue can be fixed and I don't have to waste time dragging up the library/properties panel everytime I need to access stuff in my library when I have a huge list of graphics I'm going through.
Thanks

I already tried that, first thing I thought of before coming to the forums for a solution.
Thanks anyways.
Any other ideas?

UI feedback: Color panel

I think the colour panel design could be improved with a few relatively small changes:
IMO the sliders are too narrow. Changing values using the slider arrows is very imprecise as a 1px horizontal movement moves at least three units of colour - if not more.
There is some wasted space to the right of the entry fields. It would be better if those fields were moved right over to the right hand side, made smaller in size to accommodate the three digits they display, and the slider bars were made wider, using the space that was released.
Ideally I'd like to see the slider bars in this panel 'auto-expand' - perhaps up to 3x their current width (1px = 1/255 unit) when the panel itself is widened.
I'd also like to see the spectrum bar widened to match - and made about 1.5x as deep as it is now. Currently it's too small to be of any significant use IMO.
Mike A

Good catch, I found several percentages that are not slider selectable anymore for anything with a 0-100% field. Based on some quick tests these percentages are not selectable:
color panel (only in CS6)
92 75 58 42 25 8
layers panel opacity/fill (same as CS5)
75 25
layer style popup (only in CS6)
87 37 12
options bar (same as CS5)
75 26

Unable to switch screen mode from standard: PS CS5

Full screen with or without menus is grayed out in the view menu and the view dropdown selector from the menu bar. I have quit and re-entered PS and have reset all workspaces to default. I have checked that I'm working in 64 bit. I still cannot switch screen mode from standard. Last update was to 12.04. Last extension installed was photokit sharpener.
Thanks for any help. (PS, how do I reset preferences file on a mac?)

Ahh, I knew it was probably something simple. No I didn't have a doc open since I was just working with prefs and trying to set desktop color. Banging my head now on my desk. Bam! So dumb ...
Thanks so much for solving my problem.

Opensource ATI can't switch video modes with CTRL+ALT+plus/minus

Hi,
I've updated my system to the new xorg-server and video driver.
The new video driver (xf86-video-ati-6.7.195-1) can't switch video modes with the CTRL+ALT+plus/minus key combination. I use this key combination a lot and before I upgraded to the new driver this worked :-(
Anybody else having this problem?
I know I can use xrandr to change the video mode, but it doesn't exactly do what I want. Xrandr changes the video mode, but also changes the resolution of the screen, while CTRL+ALT+plus/minus keeps the resolution intact (the screensize is bigger than what is seen on the monitor, you can scroll the screen by moving the mouse "out" of the monitor)
Is there a fix/patch that I can try?

It looks like this is the result of the new opensource ati drivers use the new xrandr.
One of the changes is that it will treat the screen section in xorg.conf differently. Browsing through video modes, using the CTRL+ALT+plus/minus key combination, that are defined in the screen section in xorg.conf is not possible anymore.

HT1414 My new ipad mini does not allow me to switch between modes in the built-camera app. It is stuck on video mode. Can anyone advise?

My new ipad mini will not let me switch between modes when using the built in camera app. It is stuck on Video mode. I am unable to take photos, although I could when I first used it. Could this be a fault with the pad or with the new 7.0.4 update? Can anyone help please?

Have you tried to force quit the app? Double tap the home button. Scroll sideways if needed to see the icon and preview for the camera app. Flip that app up and off the screen to close it then single tap on the home screen preview or single tap the home button to exit the mode.
Try your camera app again and see if you can switch modes.
When you switch modes, you do have to drag the words, not just tap on the video word, if that makes any sense. When you try to go from video to photo, do you try to drag the photo word to the front?
