Undoubtedly one of OS X’s strong suits is its graphics editing capabilities. Apple used to primarily push desktop publishing as the thing to do with a Mac years ago. These days they’re all about the "digital life", but that’s another story.
Lots of Mac people do web design which requires dipping into hexadecimal values often for color "codes", so to speak. Any program that allows getting those hexadecimal values faster is always a welcome addition.
A new pay-software title called Color Picker Pro was just released for OS X. The cost is $17.95. Critical matter states "it’s better than hex".
Yes, it’s true. Doing on-screen color picking is better than manually typing in hexadecimal values. No doubt about that.
I dig the way Color Picker Pro works due to its simplification but I think it may be a bit over-simplified.
Case in point: ColorSchemer Studio OSX. Does the same job as Color Picker Pro and a whole lot more. The drawback is that it’s 50 bucks.
Is it worth the extra 32 bucks for ColorSchemer? Yep. Absolutely. Color Picker Pro, while nice, is about 5 bucks too expensive considering all the more you can get with ColorSchemer for just a few greenbacks more.
In addition, ColorSchemer also runs on Windows PCs too. If you use both Windows and OS X in the office (which many do), having apps that run on both is always a good thing.
