Previewing color values
You can use the Color palette and the Info palette
to preview the color values of pixels affected by
color adjustments.
When you work with a color adjustment dialog
box, the Info palette displays two sets of color
values for the pixels under the pointer. The value
in the left column is the original pixel's color value.
The value in the right column is the color value
after the adjustment is made.
You can view the color of a single area using the
eyedropper tool, or you can use up to four color
samplers to display color information for one or
more locations in the image. These samplers are
saved in the image, so you can refer to them
repeatedly as you work, even if you close and
reopen the image.
Color samplers and Info palette
To view color samplers and color sampler
information:
Select the eyedropper ( ) or color sampler ( )
tool, or open a color adjustment dialog box.
