Topic: color picker with lab

I have a Color Picker Pro download which only has hsl, rgb and hsl.  I understand that Adobe Photoshop CS3 has a color picker that also has Lab color reading.

The Color Picker Pro I have lets you move your curser over a picture anywhere on your screen and gives you a color reading.  Does the CS3 color picker let you do that also?

As far as I know, the Photoshop CS3 picker only allows you to select colors that are in open documents. I usually use the Firefox plugin Colorzilla to help select colors.

Same here, program color pickers just do what is in that program. Colorzilla will ony pick up colors in Fx.  But it is free.

In Photoshop, you can "Print Screen" and paste into a new document and then use the colour picker.
