I see that it's not dead, but it doesn't show up in all apps.

CORPSECORPS  I should have realized. It's a no-show in 64 bit apps, including Mail.

DAVERMONT  Great program for choosing colors and color schemes, even better now that it's a Universal Binary. If you work with colors at all (especially for a living) it's well worth the $15 they're asking for it.

CORPSECORPS  I thought it was a wee bit pricey at $15. Now that it's $19, they're pushing the envelope.

MOUSEE  Very well done, but as others have said before, it is too expensive. Especially for something that has not been upgraded in almost a year: are we going to get support or is it going to be abandoned by the developer? $10 seems about right.

OLD JEWEL SOFTWARE  Painter's Picker works wonderfully with Photoshop and has since the beginning. See my reply to your comment for more details.

RHETT  Wow, this is like the greatest idea, ever. Very useful, and tons of options!

Not quite worth $16, I think $10 would be quite reasonable.

Suggestions for improvement would be adding integration with Photoshop, that alone would justify the $16 price-tag.

BITMAN  Well, sort of. It would be nice to be able to drag and drop from PP to the Swatch palette in PS.

BIG BRO  The dogs biscuits - Taking Painters colour wheel and making it a system add-on was a great idea but at

$15.85 plus VAT/Tax is just too expensive.

I too have to say $10 'all-in' and and I'll buy.

FLARCH  Even though it's too pricey for a color picker, i find myself using it more and more because it's just so darn slick!

I do wish more percentages were available without bring up a menu.

ANONYMOUS  Pretty neat! But I have to be on the side of the cheap people here... ;) I think it's a little overpriced for what it does. I'm not saying it's not worth it... But I won't buy it.

And Mail.app crashes %100 times when selecting the pickers help from there...

PETER TRIST  Well worth the AU$27 - the best solution I have found in mac'ing in 20 years for colour balancing.

I, like more than 15% of the population have partial colour blindness [red-green are of the spectrum]. I can finally offer more than just grey based colour schemes in my data systems with confidence and with out having to ask my partner to double check every colour change.

As soon as the next payments come in - this author gets his well deserved US$19.

ANCIENTYGER  why should everything be free? This is good software. Pantone's isn't free. This takes a different route, but still allows one to make the artistic choices while comparing them to other colorschemes, including pantones.

Keep up the good work. Looks great! Works great! Now.... if there was a cocoa "Paint" app..... Teal? hmmmmm
