[Feature Req] Replace Color Type Combo with Tabs, Type pin

[ono]

Switching RGB->HSV or Gray really makes me mad. I do it like million of times per day.

(1) Can we put a tabs there instead? or at least put some keystrokes into that window like Cmd+1... etc.

Code: Alles auswählen

--[RGB] [CMYK] [HSV] [Gray] [Lab] [Color] [Patterns] [Textures] [Gradients]--

(2) Can there be an option to PIN color type, so I don't need to switch it all over again from RGB when creating new gradient, new color or whatever.

I have the same problem. Seems that every colour remembers which picker was used to create it, so once I use a colour from the standard colour list as a starting point, I am back to the RGB picker.

Opening the last colour picker used and the last plain colour picker (RGB/CMYK/HSV/Lab/Grey) used, respectively, would probably be enough to make me happy.

Cheers

Bump.

Any chance to for any feedback whether it can or cannot be done.

It such a PITA to keep switching from RGB to Gray or HSV all the time, even for single color pick.

It is even bigger pita PL keep putting RGB color type even it comes from two interpolated colors of other type like HSV or Gray, i.e. on the gradient. Please, please fix that.

PhotoLine is never changing the type of color on its own. If you are picking a color from a document, it will have the color space of the document. And if you pick a color from a layer, it will have the color space of the layer. Only exception: You have turned on "Read colors in HSV mode" in the preferences.

Do you have a test case, where PhotoLine is behaving differently?

I will modify the interpolation of gradient colors: If all colors in the blend have the same type, the interpolated color will have that type, too.

As I wrote earlier, the main problem seems to be that the standard palettes (colours, gradients) are defined in terms of RGB, so if you pick one of them, you are back to RGB.
Maybe the behaivour of PL could be changed to pick such colours/gradients in HSV mode as well if "Read colours as HSV" is chosen?

(The other option would be to re-create those palettes using HSV values.)

I always thought this option works like described above, but it doesn't. So it would be cool to make it work like that.

I will modify the interpolation of gradient colors: If all colors in the blend have the same type, the interpolated color will have that type, too.

Thank you very much Martin.
