DigitalColor Meter with hex codes?

Hallo Flavia, which System do you have?

I updated in the late afternoon to 10.7.2, and now I have DCM 4.1 (prior 4.0) and the command Show Values (Werte anzeigen in German) and the Menü Color (Farbe in German) totally new in Lion, to copy the values.

Apple has heard our wishes.

Best regardings to all, specially to you,

Karl

Hello Flavius could you please send again witout picture I want to you the points (helpful) ~ k.

nah, don't worry. only the one who opened the thread can award points anyway. i think 🙂

glad i could help you.

Guess you got the "good" version....

Seriously, Apple is becoming the new M$. It's disconcerting the lack of quality that seems to be becoming more prevelant in their products.

FYI: I'm using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74) and DigitalColor Meter 4.1

> then... what would you call this?

I would call it a silent upgrade. :-)

Good coding, bad messaging. I'm still glad I gave $.99 to Ricci Adams for his "Classic Color Meter".

So i did as I got your question ‚what would you call this‘

As I wroe ‚there are not these commands (few hours earlier) I had the former versions ;)

Next question (FMI): where have you been? (just because of your location-reporting)

~ k.

It was really silence update ;) your alternative app may be good, may be, I wish it to you. I was just arrogant to do not the download. Cu!

what do you mean location reporting? where?

Flav, in your post from oct14; in the menu bar, right: 70deg/63deg. I want not to stalk you, just wondering it is on sea…

Best regards, k.

oh, those are just my procesor, video card and hdd temperatures... 🙂

It’s actually still there. Just go up to “View > Display Values > As Hexadecimal.”

Thank you very much to the users who pointed out that the Lion DigitalColor Meter tool isn't lame. I set my "View > Display Values > As Hexadecimal" and I'm back to using the DCM as normal.

I'm always baffled at how quickly people start beating up Apple when things get moved, removed, improved, etc. Saying Apple is the new Microsoft is going pretty low. As a result of my work I have to interface with Microsoft products all of the time and there is no comparing the two fairly. While I was certainly frustrated that I couldn't get the hex values (at first) from the new Lion DCM, it never occured to me to start chastizing Apple or insulting Apple developers because of it.

I think that Apple does a great job of implementing user feedback. Any user can submit feedback, bug notifications, feature enhancements, about any hardware device or software application that Apple makes. The form is easy to find. They take those enhancement requests seriously, and we know from past experience that when enough users request something that makes sense, it gets integrated into future iterations of that product. Berating Apple in these forums isn't the place for helpful user feedback. Use the tool instead . And by the way, anyone care to try and navigate the Microsoft website (a user experience nightmare) and find a similar tool? Good luck with that.

I did download the mColorMeter application from the App Store for $4.99. I love the copy/paste features and preferences. It's really handy to be able to compare and see, at a glance (without changing preferences) multiple color schemes, like RGB, Hex, and CMYK, and copy any one of those values. That's certainly an improvement over the Lion DCM and for me makes it easily worth the $4.99.

But if you need just one of those values only, the Lion DCM will work fine thanks to the comments from people on this thread who pointed out how to change it.

Has anyone figured out how to get DCM to remember the View->Display Values->as Hexadecimal preference? I'm used to quitting and relaunching DCM several times a day, and it's a drag to have to re-select hex each time I launch.

Thanks Chris, for pointing this out. Glad you came along to put out the flames ➕
