i've been working on my school's computers and they all have hue cubes as separate window, this is incredibly useful.

my home computer has CS6 and it doesn't have the option of the hue cube listed anywhere. i've googled this and it says it's only an option for the 2014 version? is there another way to get the hue cube back or maybe a place to suggest bringing it back in an update?

thanks for taking the time to read!

Hi dicove


Greetings.

Unfortunately it's simply not there. However, if you still want the hue cube, I'd recommend picking up the plugin Coolorus — One Color Picker to rule them all

CS6 will never be updated, however you can double-click the foreground swatch to bring up the color picker and choose any model color window.

i'm aware, it's just not as convenient as having a separate window to pick from. thanks though!

i tried the shift/control/alt click method for a while but i could never get the hang of it. i even tried to create a preset for my tablet pen with one of the buttons acting as a hot key but it only worked about 20% of the time,  it was kind of cumbersome.

thank you for going through all of that for me though!  i really appreciate all the effort! i was wary of actually downloading any external add ons or programs so in the end i gave up and downloaded cc. i have the hue cube now!

thanks again, you have been super helpful!

...and so much more.  You'll love CC, and if you are still a student, you can get the full CC subscription for something like $14 a month.  Happy days.

Note if you set up the panels the way you like them, you can save the layout as a new Workspace.  Note also that custom keyboard shortcuts can be saved with custom workspaces
