In the bottom left side of photoshop there are the 2 color swatches, I believe they are 'foreground' and 'background' colours, and you can hit X to toggle between them... Is there a way, or a setting to have more than 2 colours? I want 4 or 5 that I can cycle through.

Thanks in advance if anyone knows if this is or isn't possible :)

    Ok so just tried it and the only way was to add it to your swatches. Might be something scriptable just need to look into it. Will try and get back to you by tomorrow if I get anything. Thinking something like a script that runs as Photoshop opens, and basically stores the last 5 colors you sampled and hitting a hotkey cycles through them. Sounds simple.

    In the time being, alternative option is to create a new swatch and eyedrop from there.

    haiddasalami: First off wicked picture :) Secondly thanks a lot! I figured the way to do it, if at all would be scripting, but unfortunately I don't know anything about scripting. But yes please let me know if you figure it out, that would be amazing.

    Cheers!
