better/faster color picker needed


Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm a concept designer and I just picked up the software to try out....it has lots of interesting features.  I use the pixel painting, but I really miss having a fast way to sample and change colors.  Yes, I know you can hold a finger on the screen to pick a color - this is too slow to do any serious painting.  You need to be able to instantly tap a color and select it, like in Procreate.  Please consider adding this feature.  Thanks!

On your left hand side, the last icon is a color selector. You just need to drag it to the area where you want to pick the color. It's faster than holding a finger. 

thanks for the reply, yep I've tried that...it's too slow for me.  I'm too used to just instantly tapping alt in PS to get the color.  I guess a bluetooth keyboard is in order.

You can do things wholeheartedly or halfheartedly, but I don’t think there are any other options! ;)

In my experience, designers colour picker on iPad doesn’t work at all while photos colour picker is hit and miss.

The Colour Picker Tool and the colour picker in the Colour Studio work fine for me in both apps on my low-end iPad.

Ok got it working, didn’t know I had to double tap.

I don’t need to double tap. Where do you need to do that? Are you using an Apple Pencil (and if so, do you see different behaviour if you use your finger instead)?

I use a pencil, it seems a single tap works, don’t need to tap if I use my finger, but the pencil feels more accurate.

That seems to be at odds with what you reported earlier!

I wonder what the real reason was for a single tap not working for you before. Anyway, I’m glad it’s working for you now.
