To make things right, one would have to compute every pixel 'manually' which, when written in Flash, is a complete waste of CPU time.īy the way, for me a rectangular selector feels more natural, because it operates orthographically. Along the left side of the monochromatic triangle the color should flow from white, through grey, to black, but that's obviously not the case with just linear gradients. Have a look at a picture of MagicPicker or look at the comparison of gradient fills below. To fill a triangle like Painter does, it would require you to multiply two angular gradients, but flash doesn't support them. It just can't be done right using flash and two linear gradients (white-to-color and transparent-to-black - that only works fine in case of a square).

Why is there a square selector inside and not a triangle like in Corel Painter? Updates itself if the color was changed using a different tool. It allows the user to set foreground and background colors and automatically This plugin is kept as simple as it gets. Whether it would work on MacOS is a great unknown. I have written this scalable ColorWheel panel in Flash and tested it There were some options I could buy, like the MagicPicker, but it was alsoĭoing a dozen other things beyond being just a color wheelĪnd it didn't even display the gradients in the color selection correctly.Īlso, nothing really beats the experience of writing something on your own. Hue sliders in Photoshop just weren't the answer - it had to be a color wheel. Wanted to have a color selection tool like the one used in Corel Painter. I spend a lot of my time painting digitally in Photoshop and I always A color selection panel written by me for Photoshop.Ĭurrent version is 1.1 (from October 2010).
