#PIXEL PICKER PORTABLE INSTALL#
If you download the portable application, you don’t have to install it. The first two options are free, but if you want to use the source code, it is necessary to purchase it. It is offered as a portable application, in a ZIP archive, or as source code. To use this tool, simply download it from. The program is free, easy to download and use, and it provides accurate color information, not only for use with PowerPoint, but for use with any application that doesn’t have its own built-in color picker. I guess that is why I was so excited when I recently discovered a handy little utility called Pixie.

#PIXEL PICKER PORTABLE CODE#
While it isn’t difficult to open Photoshop, or another image editing application, and to use the tools available to identify a color’s hexadecimal code or RGB values, it takes time. Yes, I am a power user, and yes, I do create far more presentations than the average Joe, but I feel certain that even novice users may occasionally have this need. I can’t count the number of times over the past 5 years when I have needed to identify and replicate a specific color used in a slide show. While these editing capabilities are fairly limited, they are still extremely handy when you are trying to get a slide show out the door quickly.Ĭonsidering their efforts to include all the basic tools that a designer could ever need, I am really surprised that Microsoft has not integrated some type of color picker tool into their user interface. We can now edit images, audio clips, and even video without ever opening another application.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 includes many useful new features that make it easy for users to do everything they need to do from within the program.
