Color Picker Changed

[fierce_Haven16B8]

Does anyone know how I can change my color picker back to being a smoth gradation? See the attached screen grab. I don't have web colors picked, and I'm on H. Not sure how to fix this.

Weird. Does the Color panel (Window > Color on the menu bar) exhibit this same thing?

Not sure if this is going to make a difference, but if you disable the GPU via Photoshop > Preferences > Performance, does it change to what it should look like?

[fierce_Haven16B8]

Yes, when I go to window > Color I get the same thing. I've attached a screen grab of the that window as well.

I unchecked GPU and that didn't fix it.

Maybe that did fix it. When I turned GPU off and restarted photoshop the problem was still there. I then restarted the computer and now it's fixed. The odd thing is if I turn GPU back on it still looks good. Maybe the process of turning GPU on and off cleared something and now it works OK. Thank your for you help.

I'm thinking more along the lines of what  @D Fosse said; could be just a hiccup in your system and a restart fixed it. (Restarts can fix lots of things, especially if the system is on 24/7 or hasn't been shutdown or restarted in awhile.)

Good to hear you have it sorted, though.  😄

What is your color mode? If it's Index, change it to RGB. This is just a guess.

I thought the same thing at first, but I am in RGB mode.

Either a GPU bug (which I'm inclined to think here) - or a very bad monitor profile. The color picker is color managed just like the image itself. In that case you would see the same effect in an open image.
