3.4.2.6.6 Pixel Peek
Select the menu View > Pixel peek window to open the pixel peek window. This window displays the color
80
values at the selected cursor position and those of the neighboring pixels.
The color values at the cursor position are surrounded by a yellow rectangle. For monochrome images, the
grayscale value is displayed. The window always displays 256 values per channel. For color modes with a bit depth
of more than 8 bits, the function evaluates the 8 most significant bits (MSBs).
If you disable the Pixel Peek check box at the top of the window, the Zoom window is displayed (see Zoom Window
).

To set the cursor position you want to display in the window, place the cursor at that position in the image, hold the
Ctrl key and right-click. Alternatively, you can set the image position using the context menu.
3.4.2.6.7 Waterfall
Select the menu View > Waterfall window to display the waterfall window. This window shows how a selected
80
image line changes over time. For this purpose, the line at the selected cursor position is copied to the new
window. With each new frame, all lines in the Waterfall window are moved one pixel down, and the new line is
added at the top. This results in an image that flows from top to bottom and is useful for observing short-term
image changes.
To set the cursor position you want to monitor in the Waterfall window, place the cursor at that position in the
image, hold the Ctrl key and right-click. Alternatively, you can set the image position using the context menu.
