Question

Color of the adjustment layer (fill layer) changes when using color circle plug-in

photoshop 2020 (21.2.4)

 

The problem is as I wrote in title, if you select a color from the color circle panel after selecting the fill adjustment layer, it even changes the color of the layer.


That behavior didn't happen until 2019.
I think it's a bug in photoshop because I mainly use coolorus for color circles, but other similar circles cause the behavior as well.

    It occurs from reinstalling and creating a new document (srgb, 8bpc, 300dpi) with photoshop default settings.
    Restarts have not changed, and it's happening on other computers as well.

    Just as troubleshooting, do you get the same result when using the regular color picker?

     

    What is the document's color space? sRGB, Adobe RGB, something else? Does it have an embedded color profile?

     

    I don't know coolorus, but it wouldn't be the first time a color picker doesn't support standard color management.

      >do you get the same result when using the regular color picker?
      There's nothing wrong with the standard color picker, issue is only plugin panel.

       

      >What is the document's color space?
      Any color space. Same as no color management mode.

       

      Coolorus is famous for digital painters.

      I don't really know if this is a specification or not, but if adobe don't support it, that's a shame.

      Thanks.

      Please make it simple. Just post a screenshot that shows the actual color difference. That way it's possible to tell whether it's a color space difference or not. That video tells me absolutely nothing (and I don't want to look at jumpy videos with jumpy cursors).

       

      Include the color profile in your screenshot. It's found here:


      The document in the video is sRGB 8bc.
      But regardless of the color space of the document (whether it's srgb, adobeRGB, or with no profile specified, it's the same), I'm saying that the behavior I perceive to be the problem was the same.

       

      I'm not talking about putting up a screen of color differences, but I'm not talking about the color difference being this different, like the color space difference.
      I'm not talking about how different the colors are, so I can't show you how much of a difference there is, even if I wanted to.

       

      As I've said many times before, the behavior of the Adjustment Layer's Solid Color Layer is a strange one.

       

      First of all, the color selected from the color circle is reflected in the layer, which is the correct behavior.
      The problem is that it's happening at an unintended time.

       

      You can see the Solid Color Layer and the behavior associated with it.

       

      1. In the Layers panel, go to the Adjustment Layer menu and select Solid Color.
      2. If you double-click on the thumbnail of that layer, you should get a dialog (the square color picker) to determine the color. And usually, the color is selected here to determine the color.
      3. After you close the dialog and decide on a color, whatever color you choose from the color circle should not affect the color of the Solid Color Layer.

       

      After No.3, here's the problem. Even after the color is determined, the color of the Adjustment Layer is updated on its own, even though I didn't do anything to change the color of the Solid Color.
      When you select a color in the Color Circle, the color of solid color layer is automatically updated to the color you selected at that time, without dialog.

       

      This difference seems obvious from the video, and I think I've shown it.
      If this behavior isn't recognized, there's no better way to explain it.
