Question

Eyedropping colors automatically become oversaturated, color preview becomes desaturated in contrast

This problem started recently like a week ago and I thought upgrading would solve the problem (2021 -> 2022), but the problem still persists. 

This deters me alot when it comes to picking colors, and it leaves me with the only solution of copying the hex code directly from another symbol rather than working from it in the symbol I'm in right now. 

 

This problem also occurs when the layers are locked within the symbol, then the color picking saturates.

 

Please help, I'm very uncertain on what to do here. ><

Hi, what version of Animate 2022 is it? The last one was v.22.0.8.

Can you check by going to Help > About Animate?

It says v.22.0.10, on my end.

Your whole screen flickers.

Is this a mac?

I see, so there's no workaround to this bug? I've been on edge about moving to Animate 2024, honestly.


I really don't know.

Keep your old version and install the latest separately to test.

If you can update your graphic drivers, that may have some effect on the situation too.

It definitely is mac-specific.

 

Good luck!
