Description David REVOY 2013-09-26 09:46:16 UTC

Hi , Color picking  ( Control+clik ) outside the reference zone ( in the tiling zone, outside the original canvas zone )  in view>'wrap around mode' return a 100% transparency color as a color selection.
It's hard to remind where the reference zone is on the canvas while in 'wrap around mode', color picking is then actually a little pain to perform :-) 
Expected result : to be able to color pick anywhere.

It's possible that showing a reference zone will be the way to go, since color picking outside the reference zone is quite hard.

Comment 2 David REVOY 2013-09-28 11:31:12 UTC

In this case, I understand. I already use the following workaround : Ctrl+A ( Select All ) , It display the rectangular ant-path around the reference tile. Good enough feedback.

Okay, changing into a wish: it would still be very nice to show the actual image boundaries.

What about color picking method used in Photoshop. There you can pick the color from whole screen wheter it's in program window or not.

blender also picks from the screen, not the canvas. ++1 on this!

Comment 6 Bollebib 2015-02-04 18:13:55 UTC

Tvpaint does that as well. 



it could be an option in the color pick tool options?

Comment 7 Raghavendra kamath 2015-04-07 12:23:44 UTC

+1 for boundary in wrap around mode

Comment 8 Halla Rempt 2016-01-24 11:52:44 UTC

Picking color outside the main image now works :-)
