Make Photoshop Remember the Last Selected Color Mode in the Info Panel

I often use the Color Sampler Tool to place color measurement points. However, by default, the Info panel always displays the color in RGB, while I constantly switch it to HSB.

Why not make Photoshop remember the last selected mode? This would greatly simplify the workflow, as I have to click the triangle under the eyedropper and manually select HSB Color every time

By default, the first color readout is the actual color. The second can be whatever you choose. Go to the panel menu to change the options.

If you are opening documents that are in RGB, it is expected behavior that the First Color Readout will be in RGB. You might change the second readout to HSB.

First Color Readout affects only the value under the cursor, but I'm interested in the value of the selected points.

 


These settings don't affect the selected points.
