Color Meter Options; Sample Display Area - Microtek ArtixScan 120tf Reference Manual

Color Meter Options

These options let you select the display output values in either LCH and Native
(RGB) mode. It also lets you choose the size of the pixel sample area to be
displayed in its preview window.
For instance, if you choose 5 x 5 as your sample area, this means your RGB
values will represent color information for a 5-pixel by 5-pixel area. If you
choose 1 x 1 (the default), the color information pertains to a single pixel - the
pixel in the middle of the sample area.

If you select your output values to be displayed in Native mode, the Output
Meter will show RGB values. The values are in the 0-to-255 pixel scale regardless
of the bit depth of your output image. For instance, an R value of 23 indicates
that the sampling size selected has a red color value of 23.
NOTE : : : : : The output display type in Native mode can also be changed from the Type pane
of Setting window.
For Mac Native mode only
If Percent output display is chosen, the numbers represent percentage of
intensity (divided by 255). For instance, under Native mode, a G value of 35%
indicates that the sampling size selected has a green color value to be 35 percent
intense (out of 100 percent). Percent is calculated by dividing the constant 255
by the value (percent = V/255). For CMYK images, the display is always in
Percent.
