Determining RGB values on a Macbook

Post by Aelys »

Hi everybody,

I recently switched to a Macbook Pro and I'm loving it. My only concern regards RGB values, which were really easy to find with Photoshop on Windows. I'm using the standard image program on Mac (Preview), but I don't see the RGB values anywhere. That's really bad, because I need them to determine the DMC floss I'm going to use for those sprites.

Does any of you use a Mac and, if yes, how do you determine RGB values?

Thanks!

Hello, I just got a Mac myself so I'm still figuring it out, but you can download Gimp for free, and it's an image editor. Just open the image, use the color picker, and click on the color selection in the tool window to get the values. Something called X11 is downloaded with it also. Hope that helps!
