TRY ctrl+shift+alt+rClick ftw

@Dimmarth the choice lies between inconvenient slow free solution and cheap easy to use extendable plugin. I value my comfort and time so I'd rather go with Magic Picker.

@tyrtyrtyr imusedto the shortcut,lightnin fast...maybe your rig is slow

[tyrtyrtyr]

@Dimmarth works bad near the edge of the document, hard to change only hue or sat/value without shifting the other one. And I used to have fingers near Q/W/E/R/A/S/D/Z so it's really not that convenient to press three buttons in the same time. I started using Magic Picker before HUD Color Picker was introduced in CS5 and really was looking into it but for me it is disappointing from interface point of view.

supercool and a wonderful tool!!! I wanted a plugin like that for years! I'm a digital concept artist and colorist from Mountain View, California and since I often have to pick colors I've searched for a tool like that all around. thnx for sharing! 8O *) -)

[tyrtyrtyr]

@Paintmeify Yeah, same for me. I really loved Corel Painter's color wheel and I always wanted Photoshop to have something similar

I bought it for my Photoshop CS5 and i really loved it~!!!

This expansion is very userful, beautiful and saved the time of our life.

Thanks you very much, the creator of MagicPicker.

Literally JUST bought and installed this, and I LOVE IT. Thank you so much! I cannot tell you how frustrating it was to have a huge gamut of colors available but to have to keep opening up the color picker window over and over and over again-- this is running so smoothly and aoisdj I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH THANK YOU it's definitely going to change the way I work on Photoshop!!

How do you do the smoothness of the colors?

Cause i'm alwas want to color in realistic but I can't do the smoothness :/

[technochook]

you can use the Kuler plugin too, its useful :)

Has anyone experienced a bug where on the Mac OS X Lion using PS CS5.1, that right after you pick a color from the panel, the command and space bar don't work unless you pick a different tool, leave the app or switch windows? So for instance once I pick a color, I can't undo, cut, paste or zoom in with space bar until I choose another tool, leave the app, or click on another window?

Thank you.

absolutely amazing, like it was always there in PS

[nitrogmr7]

Great tool! Bought it immediately!
