A question about color format and a bug

Is there a way to make the default [Color Format] to be CMY (or RGB) as opposed to Hue/Sat when selectiing colors with the Color picker? When I tried to change the value in spreadsheet mode it seemed in consistent. Which might be because original values might have been enter in different color formats. 

 

I also in the process of trying to correct this i noticed this charming bug http://www.etcconnect.com/Community/forums/t/5667.aspx

I discovered it while working in blind.  While holding down the [data] key, in a fixture set to be R383 (selected from a gel swatch via Color Picker) switched Color Format from Hue/Sat to CMY, and the values both CMY  changed by 0.2% (about one point of raw DMX).  Repeated moves kept shifting the value by the same value. Generally increasing, When the [data] key was released the display is still showing that the Color as R383.  Weird. also disconcerting.

    i may be way wrong here but it is my understand that the only way the color picker works is H/S do cmy id not compatiable with the color picker...which is to bad as i have not been able to get a nice H/S effect it always passthrough white so when doing a color effect i change them back to cmy.  I have found that the only way to do this is to giggle the encoder and then udate.  Maybe there is a quicer way or a better way to do a H/S effect so it does not run through white

    If you want to do a H/S effect that doesnt pass through white you only want the effect to change the Hue value. The saturation value is what is sending your color mixer through white (Hue changes the color value and Saturation changes the intensity of hte color (Hue is the angle around hte circle and saturation is the distance from center- white)).  If you make a H/S effect you want the graph to be a straight vertical line on the left or rightmost edge of the graph.

    Another option is to make just a Hue effect and manually set the saturation value to full (or whatever value you would like saturation at) and record both the effect and the manual data into your cue/sub/preset.
