color history showing wrong colors

[mckennapsean]

I am running Mac OS 10.8 (on MBP-Retina) with the latest version of Color Picker Pro. I really love this app, but I recently found a bug where the history view is distorting the colors. It sees the correct color in the viewer, but then places the wrong color in the history view.

This can easily be seen by grabbing a color, then using your key command on the first history slot and repeatedly hit the key to see the colors lighten over time. This happens every single time you capture a color, though, which is a large bug for anyone wanting the history for exact color preservation.

You can see in the screenshot that the colors are distorted BOTH in the history view and also the pulled color (to the left of the HEX color identifier). I am not sure why this is...

thanks for reporting, will look into it soon.

As an update, I have been trying to play around with displaying colors or even picking the image from a different color space. So far, I have had no luck. I still think the color space is the issue, just not sure where in the application this occurs.

This would be really neat to fix, then you could allow users to select on the history again (I saw that functionality in the code too!).

I have given you commit rights. Unfortunately I am not able to work on this anymore, but could probably release updates every once in a while.

Thanks. I will take a look again at this issue in the future to try and remedy it.
