 You could take a screen shot (in Windows hit the PrtSc key) of your
 desktop or whatever program you have open, then in GIMP click File 
 Create from Clipboard, and use the colour picker on that to select what
 you want. Then just close the screen shot, don't save.

In linux I use KColorChooser instead and paste the chosen #color into gimp.
It's not too cumbersome.

Nothing so complicated!

Double-click the the Foreground colour square in the Toolbox to open 
the CHANGE FOREGROUND COLOR dialogue, then click the Colour Picker 
button to the right of the HTML NOTIFICATION field. (Works for the 
background colour too!)

Re: [Gimp-user] Color Picker popup dialog.

 Von: Ben Foote [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 I wasn't aware that holding CTRL while using a paint tool selected a
 color. I'm not sure many people could possibly be aware of this
 behavior. Seems a smidge strange, but I'll take it =P

This is documented in http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tools-paint.html. The
color picker itself is documented in
http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-color-picker.html, bur a cross reference
would indeed be nice. I've opened bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327501 so that it's not forgotten.

have you seen the color picker that is on Toolbox/Dialogs/Colors?

it picks one time from the whole desktop.

actually, that whole dialog has pretty much replaced all of the other
color dialogs for me.  it can be docked, i keep mine docked to the
toolbox.  it has many dialogs within that one dock -- all of the color
dialogs.

it has taken a little while to change my workflow to use a one time
color picker and to avoid the other color dialogs.  the one useful
feature that the Toolbox color dialog has is the color memory, but i am
surprised at how much i do not actually use that.

i think that i have even taken the old gimp color picker out of my
Toolbox lately.  which you can do via Toolbox/Dialogs/Tools -- it
works with the viewable toggle the same way that the Layers Dialog
works.

it sounds like you have been using gimp for a long while.  perhaps you
might spend a few minutes to look at those dialogs.  some of them are
really cool and completely different from anything gimp had before.

[Gimp-user] Color Picker popup dialog.

2006-01-17 Thread Ben Foote
Hello all,

I'm joining/emailing to ask a very important question involving the
color picker tool. Is it necessary to have the dialog pop up every
time you choose a color with this tool? Is there a way to disable it?

I've searched bugzilla, and come up with bug #139349,
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139349

I've searched all over the web, and even through the mailing list
archive, but I can't seem to find an answer.

This one simple annoyance keeps me from using GIMP fulltime because
I'm constantly selecting colors from one image to use in another, and
every single time, the color picker popup comes up and steals focus.

But I digresscan anyone help me disable the popup or lend some

GIMP CVS no longer opens up a popup unless you request it. We probably
won't change this in the 2.2 series of the GIMP.

However, are you aware that (in 2.2) CTRL-clicking with a paint tool
picks a color from an image without a popup?

Well thankyou for the prompt response Simon.

I'm glad to hear that GIMP CVS has this option changed, but also sad
to hear that it won't be making its way into 2.2.

I wasn't aware that holding CTRL while using a paint tool selected a
color. I'm not sure many people could possibly be aware of this

Is there a color picker option for GIMP? You know where you have a 
little cross hair or wand and you put it over a color to get the color RGB?

Have a look at the eye-dropper icon, it 'Picks colors from images'

 Hi !!

 I am making a web-site for my baby and I have decided to add a fuzzy
 border to some of the pictures and then I have made a 1 pixel png with
 the same color and used as a repeating background. For the fuzzy border,
 I use the Script-Fu Fuzzy Border. But I have not been able to figure out
 how to select pre-defined color in another session. I find it annoying
 to have to write down the color settings when I have added it to a
 palette. There has to be an easier way of doing that  ?

 Thanks in advance.

gimp-1.3.x now allows you to choose colors from other gimp windows and
possibly ANY window on the screen!  gimp-1.2 currenly doesn't to this... :(
