[Nuke-users] Color controls in Nuke8

2014-02-26 Thread Feli

Feli, There are some hotkeys to ease moving things around in the new color panel, but I find it easier just to Ctrl/Cmd+click the button to get the old floating panel up. R Ron Ganbar email: ron...@gmail.com tel: +44 (0)7968 007 309 [UK] +972 (0)54 255 9765 [Israel] url:

I would like to add that on a 2560x1600 display the new controls are truly miniscule. On a 4k monitor, which will not be uncommon in the next year, that color wheel could end up the size of a US dime. feli On Feb 26, 2014, at 2:52 PM, Feli fe...@earthlink.net wrote: On Feb 26, 2014, at

I wasn't disagreeing with you at all ;). I haven't used Shake in many years, so I would have to refresh my memory as to how the controls worked that you described. Imagine a rectangular colour swatch to the right of the actual rgb fields. clicking on that would open the colour wheel panel.
