Picker

The Picker is your tool for selecting colors from anywhere on your screen. Once you pick a color, it’s automatically:

• Added to your Color History.
• Copied to your clipboard for instant use.

​

There are several ways to open the Picker:

• Click the Picker icon in the Menu Bar.
• Use the Picker icon in the Menu Toolbar.
• Select the Picker from the Main Menu.
• Or use the shortcut: ^⌥⌘ + P.

​

Customizing the Picker

Adjust the Picker’s appearance to match your workflow:

• Change the Picker’s diameter: + / -.
• Adjust the grid size: ⌥ + + / ⌥ + -.
• Two-finger swipe (trackpad or Magic Mouse) up/down to resize.
• Or use ⌥ + two-finger swipe for finer control.

​
