Color Controls In this area you can choose what color do you want to picke – background color or foreground color. To switch the color just click the corresponding box on the top left. Now, when you're changing the color with color wheel, sliders, boxes or any other way in MagicPicker you will see your new color together with the previous chosen – so you can easily see the difference and subtly tune the hue, brightness or saturation. Around the color boxes you will see two buttons: default colors and exchange colors. Thes ones act the same as they do in Photoshop – revert back to black foreground and white background and change background and foreground colors. To the right there's is a small button represented with link icon – pressing it you're linking background color to foreground color, so when you're changing one of them, the other will change in correspondence with it. The other two of the buttons let you switch between Color Wheel and Color Pane modes. 3. RGB/HSB sliders These sliders are strong scalable. When you move the divider between this area and the color wheel/color pane, the sliders become larger or smaller. They also depend on the current mode, HSB or RGB. 4. HSB/RGB/CMYK boxes These boxes let you enter directly the values of the colors in three color models. Print designers will note that CMYK boxes are color-calibrated and correctly display values based on the Photoshop color settings and color profiles. This feature is dedicated specially to graphic designers dealing with printing facilities! Web designers will also find HEX box useful for entering values directly intro HTML code. 5. Fly-out menu and Compact Mode  Compact mode You can switch MagicPicker into a special mode called Compact mode. In this mode the majority of the controls are hidden with only two color boxes visible on the screen. In this mode you can hide all panels in Photoshop from the screen with only a few ones visible along with MagicPicker in color mode and enjoy very fast and intuitive painting!
