I Am using an iMac running OS 26.3.1 with PS 27.4

When I want to see how my RGB colors have changed after an edit.  I was told to go the the Info Panel and hover over an area with the eyedropper and I will see for example R: 125/135 to show the before value and the after value.  However I only see the current value see attached.  

MY QUESTION IS; How do I get my window to show R: xxx/yyy, G: xxx/yyyy and B: xxx/yyy

Attached my current Info panel configuration and the way I want it to look

Top is mine and the bottom is what I want

Thank you in advance for your help

    Correct answer regmikewall

    @D Fosse It is active and selected, found the issue, in the panel options “always show composite color values” was checked, I unchecked it as someone recommended and now I can see the before and after RGB values

     

    thanks you for your help

    It only works for adjustment layers, showing with/without the adjustment layer. It does not show before/after.

     

    In other words, it’s for layers, not history states.
