Photoline and system color picker

[borgo1971]

Even I like Photoline, in the last time I found very annoying that I can't use system color picker, because I need to transport colors from Photoline to other software, and Mac OS color picker is really great for this. I am missing something, or can this be a little problem with Photoline?

I don't fully understand, what you try to do.

The "system color picker" is the small magnifier in the Mac OS color panel?

because I need to transport colors from Photoline to other software, and Mac OS color picker is really great for this.

Am I understanding this correctly: you have PhotoLine and another application running. Now you open in the other application the Mac OS color panel and you want to use the color picker to read a color from a PhotoLine window? If it is so: where do you want to read the color from (document window, color field, ...)? And what is the problem you are seeing?

I think it's the bottom line of the color picker

where you are able to drag colors.
Workaround: In your other program use the magnifier tool at the left top side. You can pick any color of your screen and drag it to the bottom line.

OK, this works fine, thanks. I tried so much time to use system color picker in PL to add colors to the bottom grid, and never thought to use color picker from other apps!

Not necessary together. Frankenstein answer is pretty right: with other applications I save the colors to bottom tray and can use this colors in system wide applications, even another day.

Yes, I want to read the color from some documents opened in Photoline, and use this colors for painting 3D models with Artlantis Render. Frankenstein's workaround works fine: I open Photoline in background and use Artlantis to open system color picker, with wich I can pick colors from PL document. But it's a workaround, because I must use another application to do something PL should do (read color from a PL document)...
I think you should take in account to add the ability to use system color picker, that for something has some advantage over PL color picker. Just my two cents...
