MagicPicker 7.1 introduces new UI mode to Photoshop, you can now use it as a HUD Color Picker that ’sticks’ to your keyboard shortcut (or pen button). Press the shortcut to show the panel, and release to hide! You can use all power of MagicPicker including Color Temperature Wheel, Color Schemes etc. in this mode!
Sticky Color Wheel HUD in MagicPicker. * - configurable
Added Sticky HUD mode:
- HUD shows up on key down and hides on key up (works with stylus buttons too)
- Go to MagicPicker Settings to activate Sticky mode for HUD
- You can run HUD in Sticky mode alongside with the main panel, having access both to MagicPicker HUD and current colors display when the HUD is hidden
Fixes and improvements:
- Fixed bugs in multi-monitor configurations and on external monitors
- Fixed problem with first brush stroke’s pressure/opacity when using keyboard shortcuts
- Fixed issue with upscaled icon on Adobe Illustrator
- Fixed bug with randomly disappearing panel on Photoshop start
- Fixed handling of Shift-based shortcut key combinations on Windows
- Solid Color Fill layer changes color only when Colorize Shapes & Text mode is active
- RGB/HSB sliders now update color values/name on color wheel (if shown) in realtime
- Improved HUD size handling on Adobe Illustrator
- Improved Keyboard Shortcut detection for various keyboard layouts
- Improved Keyboard Shortcut handling with multiple Photoshop Workspaces
MagicTints – 1-click color matching and color correction
If you have updated to macOS 10.15 Catalina you may have noticed that my MagicTints panel stopped working in Adobe Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC or InDesign CC. Some users reported errors like “MagicTints1.jsx cannot be opened because developer cannot be verified” and “Could not color match the following layers…”.
Don’t worry, there’s a fix for that! Please do the following:
1) Download MagicTints Catalina fix script
2) Open Adobe Photoshop CC and choose File -> Scripts -> Browse
and locate MagicTintsCatalinaFix.jsx you just downloaded
3) That's it! Enjoy MagicTints
Please note that I don’t recommend to update to macOS Catalina yet as Photoshop itself may act strangely, there are problems with UI Scaling and other plugins. Hopefully Apple and Adobe would provide a fix soon. We will also publish the new update MagicTints that doesn’t require any additional scripts to run.

I can’t believe it was 75 posts ago I started tips&tricks for my extension panel plugins! The first tip was published on Sep 5th, 2011 - about 7 years ago (and on the 3rd year after MagicPicker’s birth). The twitter page was launched in March 2010 (yeah I was quite slow, spending most of the time coding MagicPicker).
I finally updated MagicSquire to 2.0. Took around 6 months to deliver new speeded up engine that allows to change Thumbnail Size, brings New Horizontal Mode, PRO Mode to hide UI out of the way, add Shapes and all Tool Presets to groups, more!
WHAT’S NEW:
– New horizontal layout! First of a kind in Adobe Photoshop
– Scale Thumbnails with Scaling Slider. Make them tiny or make them huge!
– Support for Shapes and all Photoshop Tool Presets! Organize any Tool Presets in groups: Rectangle, Crop, Eyedropper, Custom Shape, Round Rectangle, Ellipse, etc. Any of them all of them!
– Recent Tool History list! Kept between Photoshop sessions
– Unique PRO Mode – hide all buttons and UI elements out of the way
– Superfast new engine rewritten from scratch – much faster UI and brush handling: create brushes faster, load .abr files faster, faster drag’n’drop and faster handling of very large collections (1000+ brushes)
– Large .abr files (4GB+) and file collections support
– Compact Mode improved on CC2017
– Various bug fixes
– Improved display of the circle on size-only brushes for newly created brushes
– Significantly improved drag’n’drop on CS6
