Eyedropper tools?
nikita (7 pencils) | Tue, 2006-04-25 20:26Hi
I've recently swithed to mac and everything is great exept for one thing. I frequently used colorzilla extension for firefox on my pc, and I wasn't able to find an alternative on the Mac OS X. Colorzilla works on mac exept for the most important part - eyedropped. I've used xscope for a couple of days but it's not as easy to use as colorzilla. If anyone knows any good, easy to use eyedropper tools for Mac OS X please leave a message.
Thnx

I do know that any application that uses OS X's built-in color picker has the ability to grab color from any point on the screen (click on the magnifying glass icon in the color picker). Not quite the same thing but maybe it would suffice?
There's an application installed with the Mac OS called DigitalColor Meter.app
You'll find it here:
Applications>Utilities>DigitalColor Meter.app
Hope this helps.
I'm more of a programmer than a graphics guy, but as a freelance web developer, I often have to do some graphics. Also, I'm a relatively new Mac user. Having said all that, I've been lookingn for something like DigitalColorMeter for a long time, and like the other guy said, it was right under my nose all the time.
Thanks!
Thanx a lot for the replies. DigitalColor Meter is even better than colorzilla and it was right in front of me. Just didn't have enough time to figure out everything in tiger. Thnx again very much.
I use photoshop all the time for that. Just have a photoshop document open, click and drag the eyedropper from within the document to wherever on the screen you want to sample the colour.
