walt.farrell Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 You're in the Swatches panel, so you're seeing Swatches. View > Studio > Color should enable the Color panel, which has what you want. But you won't see everything in that panel until you have a document open.

You will never have the color wheel in the panel named Swatches, and you never had it there.

It is always patches of color, as we both showed. You need to get there Color panel back to have the color wheel. If View > Studio > Color does not work for you, try View > Studio > Reset Studio. Then look in the tab labeled Color.

UlliF Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 In PHOTO v.10 I never get the former color wheel, but only the attached screenshot. The same after resetting the studio using View > Studio > Reset Studio Is there a way to switch back to the color wheel?

UlliF Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Thank you, the color wheel is back. Note: I misunderstood the Help when it says "color wheel only for HSL" but it works also in RGB modes.

You can switch between the colour wheel and RGB (decimal or hexadecimal) sliders, but the wheel is always HSL. The ring lets you choose the Hue (H) value and the triangle lets you choose the Saturation (S) and the Luminance (L).

The ring let’s you choose the Hue (H) value and the triangle lets you choose the Saturation (S) and the Luminance (L). Now I understand the behaviour. If you want to set or verify the RGB values directly you must have sliders . Thank you.

There is another way that works with any of the Color panel display modes: Double-click on either of the large color wells in the panel. That opens the Color Chooser window, which has a popup offering 7 choices for the left of the display (one of which has RGB sliders) & 4 sets of color numeric entry fields on the right, two of which are for entering RGB values (one in decimal & the other in hex notation). This window's display settings are independent of those of the Color panel, so for instance it is possible to leave the Color panel set to display the Color wheel & use the Color Chooser to set values numerically.

After I found out, what color wells could be (is it OK what the attached graphic colorwells.jpg shows?) I clicked on such a well and got colorselection.jpg. This is fine.

Yes, those are often called color wells, I suppose as some sort of metaphorical equivalent to an inkwell. They are also sometimes called color swatches, but I prefer to call them wells to avoid confusion with the square color swatches in the Swatches panel. Officially, the Color Panel help topic calls them "color selectors," but I rarely if ever see them called that in these topics. BTW, if you customize the Tools panel via View > Customize Tools... to show 2 or more columns, you also get that pair of color wells on the Tools panel.
