NEW color wheel for Photoshop!

**Moresco** · May 27th, 2012, 08:55 PM

I second the multiple interface coloring for CS6. Can I also mention a bug? When photoshop is not focused and you mouse over the Coolorus interface, it steals focus back to photoshop. This isn't really good, and you should definitely fix it as it's very annoying. Also, I like the extra effort that's gone into the graphics of the color wheel. Cheers!

Whe are looking for a SketchBook/Pixelmator and other OSX apps(which use system color picker) users who willing to be our beta tester

Interested. Will you be providing licenses for Sketchbook pro (i'd prefer Sketchbook Designer 2013, yes please)?

I keed, i keed.

Seriously though, interested.

p.s. Sketchbook license, no? Ok i'll stop.

Nope, we not planning to give sketchbook pro licenses

, if you don't have a pro version you could get express from MAS or don't contribute as a beta tester

Well I have sketchbook pro, was this only for Mac users though?

Yes, Coolorus as system wide extension will be only on Mac platform. But the Adobe version will be still developed. We are planning to release 1.0 really soon.

This is... cool, and with customization implemented it can become a must have for everyone. Great job!

First impression - looks pretty slick.

Things I wish it had:
Visual feedback showing the new color compared to the previous color. This could come in a few ways.
1. Swatches next to each other like the classic color picker.
2. Leaving a "dot" behind on mousedown, to show the previous saturation and value, and having it disappear on mouseup. Something similar could be done when shifting hue.
3. Showing a comparison of the the actual RGB/HSV values.

Re-sizable color wheel
Not much to say here, other than one thing that always bugged me about PaintersWheel was that it's stuck at a constant size. It looks like this one will be more complicated to implement in yours, if you want all the buttons to stay the same size.

Well i already have sketchbook express installed. Sooo...

Awww...i guess i'll have to contribute to the testing then

I got one question though. Will the system wide app be running on the same Adobe Flash platform? I've had to remove flash plugin as a result of security concerns (Flashback).

Yeps, i'm paranoid like that.

Loving the beta for CS5 btw.

Tried it and it works great... But I had to turn it off, because I noticed that it made my PS crash occasionally. Not sure why it happens. I'm running it on Windows 7 and CS6(64bit).
