Color editing issues

NickAT Nov 11, 2016 7:15 AM

Hi I m stuck in AE CC 2015. I cant find a way to edit RGB values corectly without using the System Colour Picker.

If I enter RGB values like 155 , 39, 89 the picker goes to white and the RGB values show as 0. decimals?

How can I change this? Any advice much appreciated.

Thank you

Nick

The color picker by default respects the bit depth and in float mode (32bpc) all colors have ranges between 0 and 1. Change the settings for the input values in the info palette flyout menu or adjust your values accordingly.

I found the answer on forum but for anyone else. Click the menu in info panel and choose 8-bpc (0-255) see attached.

If you have the info panel set to Auto the color display will follow the project depth. I was just about to post the same screenshot. This is a common problem for folks that are new to the UI and have not taken the time to study up on the UI. All of this info is available and easy to find by using the Search Help field at the top right corner of AE.
