What is wrong with my color picker?

I Have Photoshop CS5 and am working with a file that is about 40"x40" with 200 res.
My color picker when i opened it today looked like this:
it's totally different and it's only when i am in this file. I was trying to use the eyedropper tool to bring a color over from a much smaller file (where the color picker looked nothing like this) and when i went back to the main window i was working on, the color shifted pretty prominently and i was unable to change it. I compared the "H ,S, B, R, G, B, L, a, b, C, M, Y, K" values in both screens and the left column was accurate, but the right column was different.
is there an easy way to fix this?? Thanks so much!!!
PS:
It Normally looks like this:

The color is coming from what is set as your foreground swatch. Not sure besides that what problem you are expereinceing as everything looks normal.
Confirm your target & destination color space are the same -  you can see CMYK  at the top right of the screenshot below.
switch to the eyedropper, and click to sample a color with these settings, your foreground swatch will be set to your color
Switch to your destination document, you can nowswitch to any selection tool, make a slection  and fill with the foreground color

  • What is wrong with the colors on my Macbook screen?

         I was watching YouTube on my Macbook Pro 13 inch with retina display last night and all of the sudden the color scheme became strange: the colors are all faded and "off", almost infrared. Occasionally the colors will flicker and return to normal but will revert back to the strange colors within another minute. I haven't dropped it anytime recently and when connected to my tv via HDMI chord the colors display normal on the television screen. Does anyone know what might be the problem and possibly how to fix it? I got the laptop new a year and one month ago.

    Probably the display connection is loose.  If you have the issue with the internal display and external display you
    have an issue with the graphics card on your system board.  In either case your Mac should be checked out at
    an Apple dealer.

  • What is wrong with my color swatches

    Both my Photoshop and Illustrator swatches are in a weird color mode, which happened around the same time.  I've re-started, and tried opening different files.  Please help solve what I'm sure is a simple settings issue.  Thanks!

  • What's wrong with my colors upon uploading my file?

    I am new to this program, but just designed something lovely. However, once I pull it into Photoshop, save it in the size and type of file I want, and then go to upload it to my website where I sell my prints, the colors are all off! Some don't show up at all, and the others have turned neon... what is happening? How do I fix this?

    hi
    i have an iphone 4s and has not been a year yet no water damage but there is a white cloudy screen around the edges and will start going crazy with different colors and all someone please gel what is wrong with it?

    I switched the usb port and did the whole recovery holding of the buttons ect... And it worked, the computer detected the phone and i was able to click restore. However, the computer says preparing iphone for restore and it is still doing the restarting thing where the apple fades away and then comes back like it is restarting. If i can somehow get past this i will be able to go back to factory settings and resolve my problem, but this is where i am stuck.

  • I can't figure out what's wrong with this code

    First i want this program to allow me to enter a number with the EasyReader class and depending on the number entered it will show that specific line of this peom:
    One two buckle your shoe
    Three four shut the door
    Five six pick up sticks
    Seven eight lay them straight
    Nine ten this is the end.
    The error message i got was an illegal start of expression. I can't figure out why it is giving me this error because i have if (n = 1) || (n = 2) statements. My code is:
    public class PoemSeventeen
    public static void main(String[] args)
    EasyReader console = new EasyReader();
    System.out.println("Enter a number for the poem (0 to quit): ");
    int n = console.readInt();
    if (n = 1) || (n = 2)
    System.out.println("One, two, buckle your shoe");
    else if (n = 3) || (n = 4)
    System.out.println("Three, four, shut the door");
    else if (n = 5) || (n = 6)
    System.out.println("Five, six, pick up sticks");
    else if (n = 7) || (n = 8)
    System.out.println("Seven, eight, lay them straight");
    else if (n = 9) || (n = 10)
    System.out.println("Nine, ten, this is the end");
    else if (n = 0)
    System.out.println("You may exit now");
    else
    System.out.println("Put in a number between 0 and 10");
    I messed around with a few other thing because i had some weird errors before but now i have narrowed it down to just this 1 error.

  • JScrollPane, what is wrong with my code?

    Hi, I appreciated if you helped me(perhaps by trying it out yourself?)
    I wanted my JScrollPane to display what is drawn on my canvas (which may be large)by scrolling, but it says it doesn't need any vertical and horizontal scroll bars. Here is the code that has this effect
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    public class WhatsWrong extends JApplet{
    public void init(){
    Container appletCont = getContentPane();
    appletCont.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    JPanel p = new JPanel();
    p.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    p.add(new LargeCanvas(),BorderLayout.CENTER);
    int ver = ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED;
    int hor = ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED;
    JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(p,ver,hor);
    appletCont.add(jsp,BorderLayout.CENTER);
    class LargeCanvas extends Canvas{
    public LargeCanvas(){
    super();
    setBackground(Color.white);
    public void paint(Graphics g){
    g.drawRect(50,50,700,700);
    and the html code:
    <html>
    <body>
    <applet code="WhatsWrong" width = 300 height = 250>
    </applet>
    </body>
    </html>
    What shall I do?
    Thanks in advance.

    What is wrong with your code is that your class, LargeCanvas must implement the Scrollable interface in order to be scrolled by a JScrollPane.
    A comment regarding your use of Canvas and Swing components: The Java Tutorial recommends that you extend JPanel to do custom painting. Canvas is what they call a "heavyweight" component and they recommend not to mix lightweight (Swing) components and heavyweight components.
    There is a lot more information on custom painting on the Java Tutorial in the Lesson "Creating a GUI with Swing.

  • What's wrong with my XPath statement using dom4j?

    I'm pretty new to XML. However, I did pick up a book and I'm pretty much through it. I got a copy of dom4j and I created a sample XML file. I'm able to parse the data and find out the child elements of root but I'm having problems with using XPath no matter what I do. Here's my code:
    import org.dom4j.*;
    import org.dom4j.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class XMLACL {
      org.dom4j.Document doc;
      org.dom4j.Element root;
      XMLACL(String x) {
        String tempFile = System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/winsudo.xml";
        tempFile = tempFile.replace('\\', '/');
        SAXReader xmlReader = new SAXReader();
        try {
          doc = xmlReader.read(tempFile);
        catch (Exception e) {}
        root = doc.getRootElement();
        //treeWalk();
        //iterateRootChildren("grant");
        XPath xpathSelector = DocumentHelper.createXPath("/grant[@prompt='no']");  
        List results = xpathSelector.selectNodes(doc);
        for (Iterator iter = results.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
         Element element = (Element) iter.next();
          System.out.println(element.getName());
    }And here's my XML:

    Can someone tell me what's wrong with my code. None of the samples I've seen came with the XML files so I don't know if I when I start the XPATH I need to use / for the root element, or // or a forward slash and the root name. Can I please get some help!

    Thank you! I didn't haven Jaxen I thought everything was in the package and I must have missed it in the tutorials. That resolved the dropouts and I think I'm good know. I couldn't think for the life of me what I was doing wrong!

    What is wrong with App Store?  On all of my devices it says App Store is unavailable

    Based on posting time
    It could be off line for maintenance - picking slowest time of day.
    It could be off line because of a power failure - even with UPS(uninterrupted power source) they may want to shut down.
    Extreme melting can flood man-holes causing line failures.

    There are two file filters
    class javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter
    interface java.io.FileFilter
    In Swing you need to make a class which extends the first one and implements the second. Sometimes you may not need to implement the second, but it is more versitle to do so and requires no extra work.

  • HELP My webcam has horrible picture, horrible pixel capture rate, ect. What's wrong with it? HELP

    I (try to) use a Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro webcam. The sound seems to work great. The effects I can add to the videos seem wonderful. There is only one major problem......the picture on this webcam is abysmal. It isn't just too dark or too sloppy or whatever, the whole pixel capturing rate seems heavily flawed. The webcam picture (both video recording, photo capture, and everything else) is extremly blurry and my face looks like a moving colored blob. The video picture looks like a tiny picture that has been enlarged a lot that you can see the little pixel squares, and the problem gets worse when you actually start the recording and is incoherent.
    The webcam is relatively new and cost me $50. Now this may not be a particularly expensi've webcam but it doesn't mean the picture should be as bad as a video from the 930s (worse in fact but with color). What is wrong with my webcam and what can I do to fix the picture?

    I think you can thank Apple for this.  See this discussion.
