Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP 2.8 per Windows, problem with the color picker
DSunhammer wrote Hello friends, it's 2014 and i just updated gimp to 2.8.10 from 2.8.2 and am still getting issue with ALL COLOR PICKERS linked from any of the dialogs. The color picker always returns black color regarless of where you click. I am on RDP, Win7 x64 Slovak. This really makes Gimp useless. The very basic GUI color picker works well when somewhat inconveniently switching from my present tool to the color picker tool. Hotkeys sort of solve this. Thankfully, holding down 'Control' (in Windows/Linux) results in the color picker temporarily popping up before reverting to present tool upon release of the key. But one of the absolute best ways to pick color has been clicking on the present colors to get the color dialogue, so you can work with the pallet and get any visible on-screen color, which is one of the most amazing and useful tools built into 2.6 that *is lost* in 2.8, according to some. Like DSunhammer, I have the same bug — where (I guess) someone simply forgot to change the present selection to the color detected. It just makes the present selection pure black #00. So close to being useful! Otherwise, pretty great work on the new version in all other aspects, and I look forward to the next version where hopefully our great in-dialog color picker returns! (Any chance for a patch?) -- View this message in context: http://gimp.1065349.n5.nabble.com/GIMP-2-8-per-Windows-problem-with-the-color-picker-tp14083p43256.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

There's also some other bug report with this symptom in the bug tracker.

If it is that bug, then there's a patch attached to it - to cairo. Not sure if the cairo developers have applied it yet. -- Regards, Michael GPG: 96A8 B38A 728A 577D 724D 60E5 F855 53EC B36D 4CDD ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP 2.8 per Windows, problem with the color picker
Select Color picker tool and in Tool Options dockable dialogue toggle Set_foreground_color instead of Pick_only. Now when you use eyedropper from Change_Foreground_Color dialog window it will change foreground color to the one you picked. This will help you restore your workflow til the bug is fixed. Francois wrote I suspect that Francesco had the same problem I did. In the color picker dialog box, there is an icon, about 2/3 of the way from the top, which when one hovers the mouse cursor over the icon, reveals the context help that one can select a color from anywhere in the screen. When one's cursor is located over a GIMP window, this is true, one can select a color; when the cursor is over a part of the screen that is not part of a GIMP window, the cursor reverts from the eyedropper shape to the normal cursor shape, and in my experience, one was not able to select a color from any part of the screen that was not a GIMP related window. Yes, this is the problem I'm having as well. It's definitely a bug. -- TracyF (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@ https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list - Nik O.

I'm referring to the eyedropper in the Foreground change color and the issue is present also if I click the eyedropper in the one-only layer picture. Try it. Thanks Bye Francesco You mean holding down Ctrl with a paint tool to activate colorpicker mode? Tried that and worked perfectly - unable to reproduce the described behavior. In a single layer image with no transparency, always picked the pixel's color value. In a multi-layer image with or without transparency, always picked the pixel value from the active layer only, it had no effect (retained previous picked color) outside the active layer area. Found no apparent way to make the colorpick modifier (as opposed to the colorpicker tool) sample from all layers. Another very important note: Transparent pixels within a layer still retain their original color value. If, for example, you paint a HSV spectrum onto a layer and then erase it to transparency, the colorpicker will still pick the color pixels from it. Which brings to mind that the default color for a transparent area is black. -- Stratadrake strata_ran...@hotmail.com ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
