In the Info panel, how do I display pixel values as values, not as percentages?

I'm trying to show, using the eye dropper tool, the actual values of pixels in an 8-bit grayscale image (Mode command confirms that's what's there). In the Info panel, the eye dropper tool displays percentages for every type of color information (K, CMYK), while the "8-bit" field remains blank.
I've looked at Properties and pretty much everything else that I can find with no luck.
Photoshop CS6, 64 bit, Win7-64
Thanks!

Noel,
Thanks for your reply. I thought this had been fixed by recreating the Preferences file, but this morning I was back to percentages. I did have different settings in the Info Panel from the ones in your very helpful picture, and after I changed mine to match yours I now see 0-255 values in the R, G, B settings when using the eyedropper on this grayscale image.
Instead of RGB Color for the First Color Readout I had "Actual Color". This by itself causes percentages to be displayed. All options for the Second Color Readout all seem to produce percentages.
"Actual Color" is what I normally use for the first readout. In the case of a Grayscale document, it will display a K (black) value. For a RGB image, it will display R,G and B values. And so on.
When 8-bit is chosen for the value format, we expect a value of 0..255 to be displayed. As you know, that works fine for the RGB readout, but a Grayscale readout displays a percentage instead.
So if you set one of the readouts to RGB and 8-bit, you can get 0..255 values to be displayed for your Grayscale document.
When the document is Grayscale, the RGB values are a conversion from the document colour space to the RGB working space as defined in Edit > Color Settings. To get the true values of the pixels, the Grayscale document profile and RGB working space must be complementary (for lack of a better word). That's why, in my first reply, I said to use the following combinations:
Doc with sGray profile and RGB working space of sRGB.
Doc with Gray Gamma 2.2 profile and RGB working space of Adobe RGB.

  • Displaying both pixel and inch dimesnsion in the Info Panel

    Anybody else constantly switching the Info Panel from displaying inches to pixels and vice versa?
    How to avoid having to do this? I either want to see one or the other, somtimes being able to see both simultaneously would be nice. While dragging out Rectangular Marquees, doing Transforms, etc.

    I actually installed the trial of Flash Builder but did not get far before it expired, so I can only share Silkrooster’s suspicion that it may be possible.

  • Which one is right? The colour picker or the info panel?

    Try this one out at home kids:
    Set your colour picker to Greyscale and dial 25% K into your foreground colour swatch.
    Now, in a new, RGB document, fill that document with your foreground colour.
    Now open the Info palette, set one of your readouts to "Greyscale" and enjoy seeing it read 31% K.
    Uh.
    WTF?
    My RGB readout reads 192 across all channels, which is correct: 192 / 256 = 75% (additive) = 25% (subtractive)
    This probably has something to do with colour management, but could someone A) explain to me what is happening, and B) tell me how to set it so I can get mathematically predictable results?

    Dag, did you go through the exact sequence he put up in the first post?
    The issue is that we seem to be able to set the absolute numbers for RGB in the COLOR panel (made visible through the Window - Color) menu via choosing Grayscale and a %K value - in this case 25% sets color (192, 192, 192).  It sets these values no matter what profile the document is using.
    When that color is used on any old document, the profile is involved with reading back the number in the %K portion of the info panel.
    No profile is involved with setting the number (because this operation doesn't involve a document), a profile IS involved with reading the number from a document.  That difference is at the root of the issue Tom is sensing, I think.
    My comment about Photoshop being developed on a Mac... Note that with a profile carrying gamma 1.8, Photoshop DOES make the numbers match., probably owing to a hard-coded gamma correction in the logic of the info panel.  It might be more reasonable for it to just use the gamma derived from the profile, or just do a conversion to linear space first, but then that would change the way Photoshop works, and Adobe appears to have a policy of "keep it very consistent with past releases, so everything still works".

  • Having the info panel open with curves open

    Hi,
    Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I usually set my white and black points using curves. Set the points then go to curves and adjust the points with the RGB channels. In PS CC, I cannot seem to have the curves and info panel open at the same time. Anyone know how to accomplish this?
    Thank you,
    Jim

    Hi, c.pfaffenbichler, Here is a screenshot of the curves properties panel open. I would like to see the info panel open at the same time so I can drag the point on the curve to specific values of R,G and B. If I click on the info tab in this curves panel the info comes up but I do not see the curves properties anymore. I want to be able to see both open at the same time.
    Thank you,

    Adding to the "any stunt you can think of" list.  If you're not concerned with formatting and the documents are primarily text, open them in TextEdit.  After a page or two of indecipherable code, you'll see the textual meat of the file, followed by more code.  The text portion itself is often fairly readable, even if the file is damaged.

  • Misleading Vertex position info in the info panel

    If anyone is at all interested, the vertex position information provided in the info panel is in a coordinate space relative to the current zoom of the currently active composition viewport, not the coordinate space of the composition.
    So if your composition is 512x512 pix and you're at 200% zoom in the comp viewer you're going to see coordinates within this space of your vertex position in terms of a 1024x1024 space. Similarly, at 400% zoom you're now in a coordinate space of 2048x2048 for the vertices of your path objects, but NOT for the info panels reporting of your current mouse positioning.
    You will therefore not have true pixel precision available to you for vertex movement unless you divide whatever coordinates you see by the rate of zoom, or work at 100% zoom.
    Is this in the documentation anywhere?
    Is this a feature, or a remnant of a finer nudge feature?
    Anyway to turn on pixel snapping for a zoomed in view when moving vertices of a path, shape or mask?    

    It works as it always has/ is designed. Same answer as your otehr post: If you need precision, use Illustrator.

  • After syncing iPad Air with iTunes the Info Page no longer shows up.  Doesn't matter if I sync via wi-fi or try another computer.  Without the Info Page how do I sync my calander/contacts/mail ??

    After syncing iPad Air with iTunes the Info Page no longer shows up.  Doesn't matter if I sync via wi-fi or try another computer.  Without the Info Page how do I sync my calander/contacts/mail ??

    I think there's a big ol' discussion in the Mavericks forum about this - some folks have suggested setting up your own CalDAV server so you can continue syncing without having to route things through iCloud.
    It may be simpler to go back to Mountain Lion or Lion (assuming you were on either of those). My syncing computer is on Lion and can't go higher so I didn't realize until recently that USB syncing over contacts & calendars was no longer available!

  • How can I display more than one value in Calendar ?

    Hi,
    the standard (example) script allows for the display of one value only (as I understood). How can I display two or three values, from the very same table ? Students of mine during an HTMLDB workshop in Leipzig did ask that question.
    Do we have a more detailed docum. on the use of the calendar ?
    pls kindly advise. TIA.
    Bernhard

    my solution:
    Source fo the calendar starts:
    snip>
    declare
    q varchar(32767) := null;
    begin
    q := 'select "ETA", <--- Date Field and concatination of fields as follows:
    "SCHIFFSNAME"|| "ETA_TIME"|| "TERMINAL"||''(br*)'',
    null,
    null,
    null,
    null
    from "#OWNER#"."SCHEDULE"'; . . . . . . .
    snip>
    comment on (br*) - you have to use "<" and ">" instead of "( " and ")" to have the "break/new line effect"

    There are so many things wrong with this VI, I'm not even sure where to start.
    Hard-coding paths that point to your user folder on the block diagram. What if somebody else tries to run it? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on Windows 7? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on a Mac or Linux? They'll get an error.
    Not using Read From Spreadsheet File.
    Use of local variables to populate an array.
    Cannot insert values into an empty array.
    What if there's a line missing from the text file? Now your data will not line up. Your case structure does handle this.
    Also, how does this answer the poster's question?

    we are using B2B with IPC-pricing, using our own pricing conditions. Calculation of the prices works fine (can be verified when enabling the price analysis link).
    Now we need to show some of these own pricing condition's values (not the ones available in the salesdocument header/item like getNetValue, getTaxValue,..) in the shopping basket (order.jsp).
    How can we achieve this (eg. get the IPC to transfer these values back to the shop or read them somewhere)?

    Hi all,
    We've found the solution according to the post from Rajinikanth G and Sateesh Chandra (http://scn.sap.com/thread/2046477). That will work (return any pricing information/details like custom pricing conditions, subtotal1 - 6 etc. as in pricing analysis) for order.jsp (display shopping basket), order_change.jsp and orderstatusdetail.jsp (display order), but not for confirm.jsp (order confirmation / print order).

    In confirm.jsp there is no IPC-document available (<HeaderSalesDoc>.getIpcDocumentId()/getIpcConnectionKey() are null). Also BOM -> getBasket()/getOrder()/getCustomerOrder()/getQuotation() are empty. Here we've transferred the necessary pricing informations from basket to confirmation through the UserSessionData.
    Set data in order.jsp:
    <%
       String itemId = "Item-" + item.getProductId() + "SomeValue";
       HashMap pricesForConfirm = new HashMap();
       pricesForConfirm.put("Header-SomeValue", "Val1");
       pricesForConfirm.put(itemId, "Val2");
       UserSessionData usd = UserSessionData.getUserSessionData(request.getSession());
       usd.setAttribute("pricesForConfirm", pricesForConfirm);
    %>
    Show data in confirm.jsp:
    <%
    String itemId = "Item-" + item.getProductId() + "SomeValue";
    UserSessionData usd = UserSessionData.getUserSessionData(request.getSession());
    HashMap pricesForConfirm = (HashMap) usd.getAttribute("pricesForConfirm");
    s2 += pricesForConfirm.get("Header-SomeValue");
    s2 += pricesForConfirm.get(itemId);
    %>
    That whole solution does work fine also when pricing analysis is disabled in XCM. (Note that we've enabled "doItemCalls" in backendobject-config.xml according to note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1004533, but we did not use the ExtensionData-mechanism to transfer data from/to ABAP, because that would need changes on ABAP- (to fetch and fill) and Java-side (to read and display) and because we could not find/access relevant pricing information from IPC at the time the BAdI is called. Also the BAdI CRM_ISA_HDR_PRICING mentioned in the note does apply for the web catalog. We've used that to give IPC more information to calculate the netValue using additional pricing conditions for the catalog.)
    We've also implemented note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/892761 to show a different price (eg. grossValue) in the mini basket (total items and price in basket).
    If there's a need to display a different price in the catalog, there note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1022962 could be implemented.
