No Longer Able to Paste In Hex Color Codes?

Community Beginner ,

It used to be that if I created a color somewhere else, say Illustrator, I could copy the hex color code right into the pop-up color window in PS.  Now, a "color picker" pop-up doesn't offer the option to paste in a hex color code.  I used this feature daily so now I need to know how I can create colors in the new PS CC 2017 - preferably by using Hex codes.

Bummed,

Toni

Hi

Your screenshot shows you are in 32 bit colour mode. The picker works differently in that mode where values are 32 bit floating numbers and the 8 bit hex code entry is not available.

I'm puzzled - I can do exactly what you describe here. This is Illustrator and Photoshop CC2017 on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.

In Illustrator highlight hex code and Ctrl+C to copy

In Photoshop - highlight hexcode then Ctrl+V to paste

I have the same issue where I don't see my Hex codes.

Maybe it's because we are on Apple and you are not? davescm Screen Shot 2017-01-13 at 3.21.41 PM.png

This is likely my problem too because my picker looks just like mrbradshaw's. I did not change this - it automatically did this with the last update. Would you mind explaining what I need to do to change it back please?

Thank you!

Hi Dave,

please show me via screenshot how to change the colour mode to show up hex color picker again?

The last update of photoshop suddently changed the view, I didn't changed anything and now I do not have the hex color picker.

 

Where is the option to activate it again, please?

Do you actually want 32-bit 16-bit or 8-bit colour, or do you just not care? Either way look under Image > Mode, but realise there are major implications to changing mode.

Use menu Image >Image Mode and change from 32 bits per channel to 16 bits (or 8 bits)
