Illustrator Color Picker Preview

I will have good long stretches where Color Picker in AI will will preview in real time as I click around in the color field or move the color slider, (This is essential for dialing in colors) then all of a sudden it will just stop previewing. I'm up to date with the software and have tried this in both CPU and GPU mode but with no luck. Can anyone shed some light on why this keeps happening? I've seen lots of instances of people on forums saying that there is no preview in Color Picker, which just simply is not true. I use it a lot and it works a good amount of the time. Thanks in advance

    Hello @dustinbadtiming, @susant45368938,

     

    Sorry for the delayed response. We are sorry to hear about this experience. The product team has currently disabled the option for Live Preview as it was causing issues, as suggested by Monika. Kindly stay tuned for a fix in a future release.

     

    Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help.

     

    Thanks,

    Anubhav

    27.6.1 does not support live preview in the Color Picker, it does in the Color Panel sliders and ramp.

      Ah, I knew this answer was coming, but as I said I have been previewing color live with the color picker for sime time now. Is it possible that this is some kind of "good bug" lol. Because I am telling you the 100% truth. In fact co-workers of mine are experiencing the exact same behavior, so I at least know that what I've been seeing is real.

        Adobe… Constant little changes in user interfacer like one described doesn't help productivity. It makes me long for the days when Adobe CC was not an online subscription.

         


        Adobe CC was already a subscription.

        You can turn off automatic updates and keep the version running that works as you like it to.
