Hello ! Im a digital artist and I’m in the process of making stickers and illustrations I want to print. I used to draw with Procreate, but I recently switched to Photoshop. With Procreate, choosing CMYK when creating a canvas allowed me to work with a CMYK only color wheel, but it seems like there’s no equivalent in Photoshop ?? It still lets me pick out of range colors, it’s really confusing. Also I know I could use the CMYK sliders but that would be a struggle bc I’ve always used the color wheel that’s just how I pick colors instinctively.

Is there a way to get a cmyk only color wheel ? Like a plugin or smth ?

Ty in advance !

Go the the colours panel (looks like an artist paint palette)
and click on the hamburger menu of the panel
And now, choose CMYK in the list
Alternatively, if you want to use CMYK values in the foreground and background colour picker, you can simply input them directly in CMYK, this selector isn't colour profile specific.
