Zoom and Pick – an in-browser tool to pick colours from images

Today I played again with drag and drop and HTML5 canvas. The result is a tool to pick colours from images and create the corresponding CSS/HTML called Zoom and Pick

Here’s me explaining what it does in a screencast:

  • [Zoom and Pick](http://thewebrocks.com/demos/zoom-and-pick/) to play with
  • [The above screencast on YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuqEHQlJBgg)
  • [Zoom and Pick](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/demos/detail/zoom-and-pick) on the Mozilla Demo Studio
  • [Zoom and Pick on GitHub](https://github.com/codepo8/zoom-and-pick)

I will follow this up with smaller demos of parts of the whole on MDN soon. The biggest fun part was creating the zoom functionality.
