Mouse Behavior Within The Solid Color Fill Layer

[ommadawn13]

I notice whenever I use the 'solid color' option on a new layer, the color won't change until I let go of the mouse.

It wasn't always this way - i remember the color changing as you moved the cursor through the various hues.

Was something changed along the way, or is there an option to restore this behavior?

It works 'live' here on Windows 11. What exact version of Photoshop and macOS are you using?

Sorry, I'll have to drop out here as I don't use Mac and uninstalled CS6 years ago.

What version of macOS are you using?

Your referring to a Solid Color Adjustment Layer, selecting a color for a Shape layer from the tool options bar or....?

10.12.6

Solid Color Adjustment Layer.

As far as i can tell, Photoshop CC 2018 (ps ver 19.0) is when Adobe implemented being able

to see live color changes in the Solid Color Fill Adjustment Layer Color Picker.

So i don't believe there is anything wrong with your Photoshop CS6, it just doesn't have that ability.

Odd, as I was able to do this previously in an earlir version.
