Panels Tips & Tricks. Tip#21: Picking colors with Color Schemes in Photoshop

Use color schemes right inside Photoshop on MagicPicker’s Traditional Color Wheel (where red is opposite to green). MagicPicker provides easy way of picking secondary colors on 5 main schemes (with right-click or ctrl-click).

Panels Tips & Tricks. Tip#18: MagicPicker settings

All our panels have Settings menu (click right-top on the panel and then Settings) where you can quickly tune up some parts of the interface. In MagicPicker you can switch between HSB and Traditional (RYB) color wheel (sometimes called Itten’s color wheel – dated back to 1708). Or you can make your color wheel pointing up – so red (Hue=0) is always on top, which is very convenient in some design jobs.

Panels Tips & Tricks. Tip#16: Compact Mode

Compact Mode is really handy when you want to paint and choose colors very fast! Choose “Compact Mode” from MagicPicker’s menu and after that just move your mouse over two colors to expand MagicPicker. Move mouse away and only two colors will remain visible. Now you can see your full work without distraction by Photoshop UI. And see color wheel only when needed (Supported by MixColors too, Mac & PC).

Panels Tips & Tricks. Tip#13: Turn color wheel so Hue 0° is on the top

You can turn MagicPicker’s color wheel in Photoshop so red is pointing up. From a painting color wheel where warm colors are on the top, cools are on the bottom to design-ish one with zero Hue degree on the top. (Use Settings of MagicPicker’s menu).
