HSB Sliders instead of swatches in color toolbar option

[mattnava]

I read this idea mentioned in an old thread and wanted to see if it was still on your radar. I think this would be a fantastic improvement to the color toolbar for quick color selection and hope to see it in the program!

I imagine it as three vertical sliders for hue, saturation, and value, stacked vertically in the toolbar. I created a mock-up image with the HSB Color Toolbar to make sure the idea is clear.

Thanks for considering this feature!

Great idea and elegant design.

This could be an optional sidebar mode under prefs.

It definitely has my vote.

[Mlindegaard]

Extremely good idea. +1

[Nighternet]

+1. HSB  is the best.

Hey awesome, glad you all like this idea. I hope Lucky Clan does too!

Ive found that so many art apps hide the HSB sliders in a pop up window and Ive always wanted something as direct as the ubiquitous brush size/opacity sliders for color.

Here's a stretch goal: Imagine if these sliders were live - meaning that on an iPad, you could adjust them with one hand while you draw with the other. You could do things like subtly change the brightness up and down mid-stroke as you go. It could be neat for shading and other effects, and would really be a unique feature among current art apps!

I really like the idea! This or very similar solution will be implemented in version 1.4.
Live colors - maybe later, there are technical/perofmance difficulties to implement it quickly.

Wow awesome! This made my day! Thanks so much!

Yes Really liking the idea shown in the picture. with the H S B color tool bar. would be great if these sliders will change dynamically,just like the sliders in the Color Editor window. (changes on one of the bars will affect the rest accordingly)

It will be a very practical addition
Will look forward to 1.4, I'm sure it's still a bit early

Cheers

HSB sliders toolbar is ready for 1.4 - screenshot attached.
Of course it is optional, swatches will be displayed there by default.

Looking great! really looking forward to 1.4
Maybe stretch them vertically juuust a little bit ?  so the user can choose the right Hue more easily
Thanks!

I cannot stretch it because in some cases slider's thumbs would be too close to each other.

[mattnava]

Wow, that looks excellent! I can’t wait to try it out. Thank you so much!

I love this idea!

Would it be possible to have an option to use either HSL, RGB or LAB sliders?

That would pull me 100% to Artstudio Pro since I only use RBG or LAB sliders.

[Lucky Clan]

We will do it (rgb, lab)
