While in Inkscape I use the HSV slider almost all the time, GIMP's triangle selector works best for me. I usually start with a preset palette color (using the actual palette editor, not the color selector) and tweak on the color wheel/triangle. cheers -- Jakub Steiner [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Oops, sorry Anthony, I just sent this response to you.] I only use the default selector, but now that Anthony has mentioned the triangle and color design, I have become interested in that one :) However, I think I would be perfectly happy just using the default.

I only use the default selector. I like the UI for the triangle selector in theory (maybe because the hue slider is a circle), but in practice it's too slow: it lags way behind my mouse drags, even on my fastest machine. I don't find the others very useful. -- ...Akkana Beginning GIMP: From Novice to Professional: http://gimpbook.com ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
