Painter's Picker 2.2 by Old Jewel Software

Old Jewel Software is pleased to announce the release of Painter’s Picker version 2.2, the latest iteration of our popular color selection utility.
Painter’s Picker puts an interactive color wheel in almost every Mac OS X application. It adds the ability to choose related colors, such as complementary colors, analogous colors, etc. directly within the standard color picker. It also adds more precise controls for choosing saturation, hue angle, and brightness.
Lesa Snyder of planetphotoshop.com had this to say about Painter’s Picker “… with Painter’s Picker, it’s like having a virtual color theory teacher by my side to boot.”
Others, like this person from macupdate, have put it more simply: “I love colors, I love Painter’s Picker…”
Painter’s Picker, as its name implies, is the way for people who work with color on a daily basis to quickly find colors that work well together from within almost any application they use.
Version 2.2 updates Painter’s Picker’s interface and includes some other changes:

  • Painter’s Picker now supports custom color spaces (such as color spaces that derive from color profiles). It will accept them, work within them, and report them to the user.
  • Fixed a problem where Leopard would not report Painter’s Picker’s name correctly in the fly-away menu of the color picker
  • Updated website information within the program
  • Improved the ability to paste the registration code into the registration dialog
  • Hopefully fixed an incompatibility with GL Golf

Painter’s Picker is shareware. A single user license costs $19.95 US. Nearly all features are available without registering, but users will be reminded regularly until they choose to register and a watermark will appear behind the color wheel reminding users to register. For the time-being, users ordering from the Old jewel Software store can get a 15% discount when ordering more than one copy of any product, including Painter’s Picker.
