Having set Color Sampler samples, the Info Panel is no longer displaying the before and after color values, only the before values.  Is there a setting to restore the before/after values display? Thanks

    The "Always Show..." is checked.

    It needs to be unchecked!


    Thank you.  That did it - a bit slow witted, didn't even think of trying when unchecked.

    If you click on the image area with the Color Sampler tool, (it is nested with the Eye Dropper) the Before & After value of that point  should appear.

    Thank you.  Yes, that's what I used to see but currently after creating a sample with the Color Sampler only the sampled Before RGB data (#1, #2 #3, etc.) is shown in the Info Panel  and no After (adjusted) RGB data.  I was attempting color correction using Levels and looked for a comparison of the Before and After RGB values for samples that I had set.

    It's been a while since I've color corrected using the Sampler with Levels or Curves, so most likely I'm doing something that negates the Before/After data from displaying in the Info Panel.  Any guidance will be appreciated.

    1. Use the Color Sampler to choose a color.

    2. Jot down its RGB values.

    3. Use the Color Sampler tool to mark the area to be changed. Its values will appear in the Info panel.(Before)

    4. Choose Curves.

    4. Cmd+Shift on the marker in the image. A second column of values will appear  in the Info pane. (After)

    5. Choose the R channel and, using the North/South arrow keys on your keyboard and the Info Panel as your guide, match the value you jotted down in Step 2. Repeat for the G and B channels (The dot marker on each curve shows the target value that will change), along with other values on the curve.
