I was recently showed a photoshop plugin that allows us to set the sampling mode for the color picker.

It simply makes so much sense especially for those of us who like to use layer modes for lighting effects..
Setting the color picking mode to current layer samples the normal color info regardless of layer mode!

Tvpaint already has a similar feature when sampling for color filling

Perhaps it is a little bit of a niche ask but I think this is an easy productivity boost for many.

I remember Mark Chong (Lemec) once built an elaborate colorpicker for TVPaint that looked just like that.
Perceptual Palette.

If i remember correct it no longer worked in the 64bits version...
anyway i don't have it anymore. Not sure if Marc is still around?

You're right it isn't compatible with 64-bit :cry:
Perhaps there is a way to achieve this in george script?
I do like the notion of it being a toggle, though I don't think you can do that with the scripting.
