Howdy,

everytime i want to select a color in DS4, I get this lame win7 color picker. Is there a way to change that to a more advanced one?
(At least with HEX color codes).

Thanks,
Elele.

    No. The Ds color picker is an add-on bought by DAZ. There have been innumerable requests for a new one (to be able to pick a color from the scene), but DAZ show no sign of changing it.

    Bummer. So the color picker is actually from DS itself, not windows?
    I've seen color picker pics from DS on a Mac, and they are different though. So DS has a different color picker for Win and Mac?

    ...this application could really use an eyedropper tool.

    I believe the colour picker on OSX is an operating-system supplied 'standard' colour picker. Hence why it's more advanced: Apple designed it for use by all apps that need a colour picker.

    The picker in DS for Windows is pretty lame, I agree. The single biggest missing feature is an eyedropper tool, like others have already mentioned. It's really annoying having to go open things in Photoshop just to read out RGB values in a texture.

    I am using the free Pixie colour picker to get RGB values - it's small and neat

    I'm just as mad as you all since I do 99% of my production work in Windows. Microsoft has not changed this palette since Bill Gates dropped his little "No one will ever need more than 640K on a computer" chestnut. I don't now much about pixie but I'll try it, anything has got to be better than the Windows picker and I use the picker constantly as part of the workflow to demarcate surfaces from one app to another.

    I have just got a windows 10 computer and came to use the eye dropper tool and was shocked to see that there didn't seem to be one. I see this thread is 7 years old, have things changed in the epoch since? I see mention of an eyedropper in another thread but nothing about where it is. 

     

    Thanks
