Tip#121: LDT Cube – quick color wheel picker based on color perception

Use MagicPicker 9’s Cube 🔮, new color picker designed for quick digital art.

LDT stands for Lights, Darks, Temperature. And it’s much more than that.

When you move pointer vertically along cube sides it preserves perceived color lightness (same as Tone Lock in MagicPicker). Horizontally – keeps saturation, for any hue!
– Left side is darks
– Right is lights
– Top is temperature

To switch into the mode click “Color Wheel Triangle/Box/Diamond/etc” located on the top right of MagicPicker under Tone Lock button.

Created in collaboration with leading art studios
