The Eyedropper tool can't pick the exact color I want in Premier Pro.

[Okan5CA7]

When i want to select a color from Program Monitor for a color matte, colors are not matches with the screen. It can not select the exact color. What i'm doing wrong?

I tried to explain with an example in Youtube. Link below.

Hi Okan!

Thank you for sharing the video. It helps. Can you let us know the exact version of Premiere Pro? Also, share your system details (OS, CPU, RAM, GPU).

Happy to help.

Hi!

My Premier Pro version is 23.1.0. I'm working on a imortant project and i don't want to update yet.

This seems to happen when "Display Color Management (requires GPU acceleration)" is turned on. Turning it off results in the same color values when picking. I can't see an obvious way that this could be fixed, other than get the eyedropper to reverse the colourspace transform when picking but this probably cause other issues.

Hi Mike,

Great! I change it as "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only" and it's worked. Thanks but, when i need this, am i have to always do this? Isn't this sort of nonsense?

Yea, it's a right pain for those who it happens for. But it's not a huge group, and somehow, this behavior has stuck around for awhile.

@mattchristensen  ... ideas?

[Okan5CA7]

@Mike Dziennik   This is the correct answer but i don't want to mark it as "correct answer". I think there's a wrong thing and it needs to be fixed. I don't want to keep swapping these two whenever I need them.

HI @Okan5CA7,

Have you tried updating your GPU studio driver? That might help.

Thanks.

@Kevin-Monahan Hi,

I'm using Mac computer, i gave the system details above.

I don't understand what you meant. I've never done any firmware updates before on my system.

Hi @Okan5CA7,

Sorry. I didn't know you were on macOS. I'm using a tool that doesn't display all the screenshots. I see it now. It sounds like a bug. I will move the discussion into the bugs forum, OK?

Thanks,
Kevin

[Okan5CA7]

It's OK. @Kevin-Monahan

Yes, I would be very happy if you could send it to the necessary places so that this problem can be solved.

"I can't see an obvious way that this could be fixed"

These sorts of complex problems would require a large company with resources, knowledge of technology, and a dedicated interest.
