How do I pick a color is PSP 8? - 11/1/2005 18:27:03   
Howdy all!

I have just started using PSP 8, and I have no experience with any of the other PSPs (just trying to explain my ignorance here). Anywho, I have been playing with it for a couple of days now, and here is my problem (well, my current one).

I can't figure out how to choose the color I want. Yah, the dropper tool is all nice and dandy, but I want to be able to punch in the RGB and use the paintbrush to to make the color I want.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Double-click on either the 'foreground and stroke properties' or 'background and fill properties' block on the materials palatte, and that brings up the materials window. From there you can either punch in the RGB or hex number.

You don't need to figure it out. PSP has a very good HELP section. :)

If you can't see the foreground and background colour boxes to the right of your screen then switch on the materials pane from View, Palettes, Materials

The HELP section has been a wonderful tool. The only problem is that when I searched for "pick color" or "select color" or "choose color" billions (I like to use hyperbole:)) of topics come up, and none seem to be for the very simple answer I was looking for. Maybe I should have searched for colour.:)

So, thanks mucho for helping me out.

That's cos PSP is a graphics program so using a search term like color is like searching for THE. :)

What you needed to look for was hex or rgb.

There are loads of PSP tutorials on the web and I thought there was one bundled in PSP too.

Yup, in PSP8 there's a learning centre from the Help Menu and there are online tutorials at the Corel Web Site. They bought out PSP.
