My heart was stolen by the shores of Kerala, my dreams keep returning to Californian hills, and my soul wonders the streets of Yunnan. My body remained trapped in the concrete jungles of Moscow, but I was lucky to turn the path to the bright coasts of Manabí. What does that leave me with? A path to choose and images to keep.

My MagicPicker color wheel was aquired by legendary Craig Mullins!!! (His site) This is the man who inspired me 10 years ago to go in for digital arts and painting. He made matte paintings for such movies as Forrest Gump and The Matrix.
Worldwide interest, July 2010 ! I still receive an increasing interest to the MagicPicker Photoshop color wheel panel for Photoshop digital artists from all over the world! People come and download the panel from so many countries! And the statistics has changed from the last time I published it. Major part of digital artists moved to US! It's one third. The second place goes to Russia and the third to UK. Who goes next?
There are even artists from Saudi Arabia and Puerto Rico, who uses my Photoshop color picker!! Welcome :)
Font viewer (fonts from disk) inside Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and other Creative Suite CS5 progs
Now I'm ready with the new tool. It allows to view fonts from disk inside Creative Suite panel. Don't install fonts, now you can browse them from disk directly, quickly seeing, how your text looks like with different type faces with DiskFonts! This long awaited feature is finally here!
Supports Mac and Windows, x32 and x64, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Flash, Dreamweaver, Premiere, Fireworks! Is it Helvetica, Script font, open type font, truetype font - doesn't matter. Unlimited collection support. You can also compare fonts and then filter the fonts you like with one click.
I was thinking about this kind of thing for years! And now, after all hard work and bugs fighting it's been embodied in the form of a panel using the latest technologies proposed by Adobe CS5. It's dedicated to print designers, illustrators, desktop publishing lovers, prepress maniacs, flash animators, HTML5 geniuses and even video title makers!
new color is now displayed side by side with the old one, while changing
new Compact Mode for CS4 with only two colors visible and panel enlarges automatically when moving mouse around - activated from Menu -> Compact Mode
new "Switch Foreground and Background Colors" and "Default Foreground and Background Colors" buttons
for print designers - CMYK colors are now get profiled based on currently chosen Photoshop CMYK profile. Use it only when needed as it will slow down the panel
great speed improvement for H and S color modes when using Color Pane
minor bug fixes, including keyboard when using panel, registration and autocolor update when colors are exchanged ("x" key)
other small optimizations
