About the HDR Color Picker (Photoshop Extended)

The HDR Color Picker allows you to accurately view and select colors for use in 32-bit HDR images. As in the regular
Adobe Color Picker, you select a color by clicking a color field and adjusting the color slider. The Intensity slider
allows you to adjust the brightness of a color to match the intensity of the colors in the HDR image you’re working
with. A Preview area lets you view swatches of a selected color to see how it will display at different exposures and
intensities.
