Question

Adobe Photoshop CS6 color picker panel

Hi there,

When you choose a color in PS CS6, you go to the color panel on the right and click a little color block to open up the Color Picker Panel/Window.

Is it possible to add the Hud Color picker window to the toolbar on the right. Instead of having to click the color to open it up and then change it, I want the Hud Color picker constantly open in my window/workspace area on the right (toolbar)... Kind of like how you can see the swatches toolbar remain open....

I also know about the shortcut keys, but this is still a pain to use. Is this ONLY a CC feature? Or is there a setting in Photoshop CS6 that I'm not utilizing?

Thank you kindly,

    Did you find an answer to this? I'm looking for the same thing in CS6?

    Also there's MagicPicker - http://www.anastasiy.com/magicpicker that works on CS6:

    click the icon with all the lines on the top right of the box (underneath the double arrow thing). Click Hue Cube (should be the top one).

    Go to window Colour then go to the three bars that are in the color panel and click hue Cube

    Hopefully this helps

    Window > Color should offer you the possibility to pick a color without raising the Color Picker dialog.

    I suppose the Panel has been improved since CS6, though.

    Edit: »wiz« was a typo …
