If you want to set a RGB channel to a solid color you use the Color Fade tool and have the start and end colors the same. You will see that there are copy buttons in that tool. You can use the copy button to copy the color from one side of the fade to the other side of the fade.

It was brought up in the Beta that we should have a seperate color picker and we will do so in a future enhancement. A color picker will save two clicks when picking a color vs using the Color Fade tool.

Larry,

something you might try (depending on how many RGB+W channels you have) would be to set up the RGB tool to use the first 3 channel assignments and then have the regular channel row immediately below this new RGB channel set to the white that goes with it. That way when you are using it for better whites or to lighten a color shade, it's right there.

It won't render in the animator the way you want, but it could work

I would like to see the 'color picker' window have a couple rows of selections for saved or recent colors used, and an intensity setting for solid R,G,or B.

I wouldn't mine joining you guys! The least I can do is buy you a beer for making me a TFF winner.

Actually, I have an In-Law in Columbus, going up there this weekend to go camping.

Yes a number of people have asked for a solid RGB selector which would reduce the number of clicks required to pick a color by 2.

Recent colors/fades can be saved in the recent and saved tools.

The 'saved tools' can just as easily be used as a 'color picker'. Can't it?

What are the steps to get a 50% Green in a RGB channel?

If you wanted Red = 0%, Green = 50% and Blue = 0% in a RGB channel you could do it a couple of ways.

1. Expand the RGB channel and set the Green to 50%.

2. (click a)Select the Color Fade Tool, (click B) Click the color picker for the left (or right) side and pick your color (color picker clicks), then click COPY (click z) to make both sides the same color. With a dedicated, solid color picker you would eleminate (click B) and (click z)..... (click a) and (color picker clicks) would be the required for a dedicated, solid color picker.

As stated, you can select solid colors from the saved and recent tools in a single click.

But Jeff,

If its RGBYW then it is no longer a RGB tool

I have a lot of RGB fixtures, leave it alone!

Thanks LOR for the RGB support

Thanks Philip, I was thinking the same thing. Or what about RGB feature, that you can add as many colors as you like, from 3 colors on up.... Thats a great idea....:cool:

So, let's compromise. We should have a RGB tool for you sotherners who like to keep things simple... and a RGBYW tool for us Yanks who like to complicate things all up and make 'em real messy... Now go play with your crummy LEDs John! :cool:

or ROYGBIVW for us New Yorkers that want to top those NJ guys! ;):P
