Photoshop Hex?

[Aruffell]

Maybe i'm just being dumb and the fact i haven't used Photoshop in a while.

Im using Photoshop CS3 and i can't for the life of me figure out how to change colour via a hexadecimel value, there is no box for it?? Do i need to change my colour profile or preferences?

Help

Thanks,

Andy

Just click the foreground or background colour box at the bottom of the tool box. The resulting dialogue should have a text box at the bottom where you can enter a hex value.

Nop?

Sorted it, changed to web colours and restarted

Ah, that'll be because you're using 32-bits per channel. Don't know why there's no hex box though.

You could just convert each byte of the hex into decimal manually and enter them into the RGB boxes, though that's a bit cumbersome.

The tutorial im doing is asking me to use a gradient overlay on a shape i created and to apply a gradient between 2 hex values, no where to enter this either lol

Right click on the shape and go to blending options. Gradient overlay is on the left. You can set the colours at various points in the gradient by clicking on the little pointers (usually at either end).
