Re: [Gimp-user] Colour picker
I AM blind. Gimp DOES support colour picking across multiple layers. Sorry about that. On 20/01/2011 17:22, Jeremy Nell wrote: > Where is that?

I'm not on the design team, so what follows is pure speculation on my part, but it would seem to me that good interface design would be to have all tools work as closely to the same way as possible. Thus, if one cannot paint, draw, fill, or rotate, &c. on any but the active layer, one would assume that the color picker would also work only on the active layer. But if you're going to pick colors off of some other layer than the active one, one would have to specify which layer one is picking the color from, as otherwise the tool would not know which color to select, that is, there might be content in more than one layer. So one would have to specify which layer to select from in any case, which means that in many instances, even if one could choose from a layer that is not active, it would be necessary to specify exactly which layer, and in this case, it is probably not any more effort to temporarily make the layer containing the desired color the active layer, and then switch back. ns ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Colour picker
What is the reason for the colour picker not being able to pick colours on layers outside of the currently active layer? Is there a script / plugin that one could install to enable the picker to act more globally? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Click > on the *Dropper*, click on your target color - away you go... I am using SuSE 7.2 but I don't use KDE. It is installed though so if I know the name of a specific KDE program I can run it. You wouldn't happen to know what the name of that color chooser program is, would you?
