Subtitles of the Movie

And you'll see though that we still have another warning. This little 3D cube. This cube is indicating that this color is not a web safe color. And again it offers an alternative as well. Click that and we have a web safe color. So now as you can see we have no warning icons here meaning that this color is safe for printing and safe for the web. Now be aware of this little area here. This comes in real handy. The swatch at the bottom is our previous foreground color swatch. The one that we started with. The one on top is the one that we're changing it to. Now right now we're going from a green to a blue and we don't even really care about the color. But let say for example you were selecting a flesh tone. Man getting a good flesh tone is really hard. If you were just going to grab one out of thin air it probably would look bad. But as you grab one out of thin air and then apply it to your scene. You might say "oh it's a little bit to yellow or a little bit to red," or what have you. It really helps to be able to compare and contrast the previous one that is too yellow or too red with the new one that you're picking. And finally very quickly here if we click color libraries we have access to spot colors such as pantones. But for now I'm going to go back to the picker. And one final trick here as I put my curser around here we have different icons. We have the circle so we can just click somewhere and pick a color. Click here in the hue slider, blah blah blah. Whatever. But as we put our curser outside of this dialogue box it changes to an eyedropper tool. And if we had an image open right now it would become and eyedropper tool over the image. And what the eyedropper tool does in Photoshop is that it sucks up color. So lets say we wanted to make text that was the same color as the lips of our fashion model that we had. Instead of trying to guess that color here in the color picker as powerful as it is. It's a lot easier just to use the eyedropper tool and click on the models lips in the image making the text the exact same shade of red. Not as you can see there's a lot of bells and whistles here. It's probably more complicated than it looks. But the Adobe Color Picker is a very powerful way to select color. Again, I've never seen anything that comes close to being as powerful and intuitive as the Adobe Color Picker is.
