…Which still has the fill colour wheel bug with Mac OS 10.6

I’m not aware of a color wheel bug, but looking through the list I see a comment about washed out colors. To me this sounds like you’re using CMYK colors instead of RGB. When the document color space is set to “Automatic” Intaglio chooses the default color space for the default printer. Snow Leopard may have changed this from RGB to CMYK in your case. If you option click on a color well you’ll get Intaglio’s color inspector, which tells you the color space your color is using.
I must say that I am not having this colour wheel problem either. On 4 Feb 2010, at 01:27, Nick wrote:

It’s been reported on the list by others. Open a new document. Create a shape. Click the ‘Paint’ option from th e ‘Fill’ dialogue (window?). Assuming you’re now looking at the colour wheel, try to select a colour from the outer edge or move the slider to the top. It jumps back to a darker value (towards black). It only happens if the shape is drawn first, the fill chosen after and the colour wheel is first option. Switching to the next ‘slider’ display shows RGB selected and once the sliders have been used, the colour wheel works as expected.
It might be a Snow Leopard thing. I don’t know.
Possibly a poor description but looking back through the list may give a better one.

Just tried it on the version I currently use, not comprehensively, but I get the jumping about too. I’ve never noticed it before because I never use the colour wheel.
Version 3.0.2a2 Intel Mac Mini, 10.4.11
Did you check for CMYK colors? I believe the jumping you’re seeing is due to the conversion from RGB in the color wheel to CMYK in the drawing, then back to RGB to display in the color wheel. Unfortunately the conversions between RGB and CMYK aren’t reversible so you’ll get some change. You can make it stop by setting the preferences to use RGB in new documents or setting the color space in existing documents and changing individual colors using Intaglio’s color inspector.

I’m not sure what you mean here. How do I check? If I select the slider palette rather than colour wheel it shows RGB as the selected option.

Mac Pro Snow Leopard 10.6.2 That seems to be the way!!! Intaglio->Preferences->Documents->RGB Excellent All my colour picker difficulties seem to have gone away. So it wasn’t a bug! Just my failure to RTFM Love the program. all the best Julius

As I mentioned above you can check the colorspace of a specific color by option clicking in the color well to open Intaglio’s color inspector (rather than the system color picker). This inspector has a popup menu showing the colorspace. The system color picker isn’t useful for this since it nearly always works in RGB.
For the document as a whole, you can check the radio button control setting in the colorspace window (see the menu Layout > Color Space).

Got it, thanks. Selecting RGB from ‘Preferences’ seems to resolve the issue.
Don’t know why the default should be CMYK though. Still, if it works…
