COLOR PICKER/EYEDROPPER

Hi,

What I'd REALLY like in AS is a COLOR PICKER. I get tired of switching between Photoshop, copying the colour code for a colour I want, then going back to AS, opening the color menu, and pasting the code in there.

Instead, a simple EYEDROPPER tool is almost a MUST HAVE ITEM for the software.

Is there a separate script for this?

In the meantime, try GetColor You can quickly copy RGB codes to the clipboard, and then Ctrl-V into Anime Studio's colour thing. Brilliant!

Something similar is built in in Mac OS X (DigitalColor Meter).

Rasheed, I just tried the osx inbuilt color meter but if I copy something and past it in as I get the wrong color, I've tried with all different sttings in color meter but with no luck. What settings do you use?

RGB 8 bit hex value. Paste into the # box of AS Color picker, and delete the starting "# and ending " characters, so you get something like

Code: Select all

FFCCFF

Another (quick and dirty) method in Mac OS X is to take a screenshot in PNG and import that as a custom swatch image into AS. Then you can pick your colors as you like it. If you have trouble selecting the correct pixel, magnify the screen, either with Command Option + combo, or (under OS X 10.4.8 ) using the scroll wheel in combination with the Control key. Of course, you need to enable Universal Access in System Preferences for screen magnification to work.

Thanks you Rasheed, the start and ending deleting did the trick
