P: Allow changing default for Color Samples (#1, #2) in the Info Panel

When I use the Color Sampler Tool and place sample points, the Info panel shows point readouts as #1, #2, ….

I need these point readouts in HSB, but Photoshop keeps defaulting them to RGB, so I must manually change RGB → HSB for every new point. This becomes repetitive and wastes time.

Please add a preference so the Color Sampler point readouts (#1/#2/…) can either:

 

  • be set to a default mode (e.g., HSB), or

  • remember the last used mode and apply it to new points.

 

❗Note: this request is only about the placed sampler points (#1/#2/…), not the color readout when simply hovering the cursor.
