Hello all,
I have a small question for programmers, regarding photoshop...
i just started learning Visual C++, and i have this little project in mind....

design a color picker for Photoshop...different of the classic color picker
in the sense it will stay always on (like in Painter), and that you could change from a rectangular color picker to circular one (kinda like opencanvas)...this would be also completely resizeable...

that would be a small application that would stay on top of other windows...i guess the tricky part is the application telling photoshop what color has been chosed...there is my question: is this possible? (i mean using C++ and all)

because otherwise i know a less elegant way...the application will run a Ps script that would that the foreground color to what has been chosen..this i know is possible because i use that to change Hue saturation and value of my color with keyboard shortcut...

So i would like to hear some advices about all this...
In any case, stay tuned...i hope to release something in the upcoming months :D
