color picker shortcut

Hi,

I used to bring up the  color picker with cmnd+opt+control+click in image. Worked great. Now nothing happens. I'm not sure exactly when I lost it; it's been awhile.

I'm on an iMac running El Capitan 10.11.6 and PS cc 17, latest update.

I've searched many times, and thought maybe an El Capitan shortcut was interfering, but I don't see one.

Any ideas??

Thanks!!

    Photoshop user guide>image and color basics>choosing colors, then scroll to 'choose a color while painting'

    one line says

    "Note: The HUD color picker requires OpenGL(See Enable OpenGL and Optimize GPU settings)"

    This is where I went to check my settings

    Preferences>Performance

    make sure box checked for >use Graphics Processor(restart PS if this was not checked)

    under Graphics Processor settings click Advanced settings

    Next

    Drawing mode>choose advanced

    all my 5 boxes are checked including use OpenCL, use Graphic Processor, Anti-alias Guides paths, 30 bit, use native OS GPU acceleration.

    Hope you can follow this. Just a "Note" I saw. I am new to forum and do not know if links or screen shots allowed. But I do know how frustrating it is when a tool stops working the way it should.

    It works on CC2017.0.1/OSX 10.12.3

    Before you use ctrl-opt-cmd-click,

    1. Be sure you select the brush tool

    2. Be sure the image is active. (white title in the document tab)

    3. The Brush cursor must be over the image, not the surrounding area.

    Thanks for the reply. I am now running sierra, same as you, but it is not working.

    All those parameters have been met. I have a brush tool, in an active image, clicking in the image itself.

    Are you sure that you have chosen a paint tool before you press control+option+command+click?

    Found instructions that helped me by searching HUD color picker then scrolling to "Choose a color while painting".

    Double check Enable OpenGL and Optimize GPU settings.

    Good Luck!

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have a brush and am in an active area of the painting.

    Thanks for the tip on searching.

    I'm not sure what those settings are or how to check them.

    This may not be what you are looking for per say but if you go into your Edit drop down and select Keyboard Shortcuts you can change the P key to be the picker instead of the Pen tool, if you use the Picker much more heavily than the pen tool!

    Thanks for the reply. That works, but the picker remains on screen. The shortcut I mean puts up the picker only for so long as I click.
