When I use an effect, lets the "BCC Beauty Studio", there are two colors to choose. Color A and Color B. If I click on a color button, a color chooser opens, but I cannot find a color picker to choose a color from the footage.

The same happens to all color choosers in all effects.

Do I miss something?

PowerDirector does not have a color picker in any of its rooms.

You can use a free color picker. It gives you the RGB values which you can type in the Color window.

Search for "Pixie / Nattyware" without quotes on Google. It is a free software and works great.

Thank you for that information. That is a fairly good workaround. I would prefer a color picker in PowerDirector. And there is at least one: In PiP Designer, there is one for choosing the color for chroma keying.

I loaded the tool and it works really good. Again, thanks a lot.

Yeah, I forgot about chroma key. As far as I know, that is the only color picker in PD. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.
