Color Sampler Tool allows you to view color values in defined spots of your image:
- In the Toolbox, select the Color Sampler
Tool. - Click on the image where you want to set the first sampler. Sampler #1 appeared in Info palette shows the current values in your color channels.
- You can set up to 4 color samplers on your image.
- Samplers get saved in your image, so you can know color values in defined spots even after you reopen the image.
- on the Options bar you can change sample size (sampler's range). Point Sample reads out values from a single pixel; 3 by 3 and 5 by 5 read average values from larger areas.
- You can move samplers with Color Sampler Tool
to any other spot to read color values from.
- As default a sampler's readout on info palette depends on color mode of your image (on animation - RGB); you can however choose other readout: right-click on a color sampler and choose in context menu other color mode.
- To hide / show annotations use [Ctrl+H] shortcut.
- To delete a sample, either use context menu (animation) or Alt-shift-click on it (mouse-click holding [Alt+Shift] keys pressed).
