  1. Kerrick says:

    That would be so much better if it just copied the pound sign and the six digit code. With CSS, you need color:#999999; and not color="#999999". That's for the ancient <font color=""> stuff.

    Still, I suppose changing the = to a : and removing the quotes is still faster than having to go into the color picker.

    Thanks for the tip!


  2. Hey nifty! Just did it and it works. It's crazy the little things we miss in programs long used. Thanks!


  3. I agree with Kerrick. That's a pretty sweet shortcut, but because i use CSS instead of inline styles like the rest of the world, i probably won't use it. Come on, Adobe, get with it. ;)


  4. nice, but yea.. wish it just copied the #HEX or did color:#HEX cause i havent done inline styles attached to the actual TAG since the 90's. :/ cmon Adobe, get with the Times, new roman!


  5. Oh awesome, I could I have missed that…


  6. saves lots of time, thanks!


  7. I have found a bunch of color tools on the web where you enter a photo and it returns complimentary colors. Really great resources out there.


  8. Nice tip! Thanks for sharing!

    Did you say that you are using Photoshop CS4 on a Netbook?!
    Isn't that too heavy for a netbook?! what netbook is that? (if you don't mind telling)
