For the life of me, the old photoshop(2019) had numbers when I dropped multiple eyedroppers and now they have only magenta rings. Do you know where the prefence to change this is? It dosnt seem to be effected by the cursor options?

This CC 2020 (21.0.2) and this is what it should look like.

 

Try resetting the sampler eyedropper.

Ok, I'm glad to hear you are back in business. Unless you are having problems everywhere, I start with Tools and Preferences, and yes a Mac Restart helps too.

If that fails, go for a Preference Reset:

Hi

Do you mean the Color Sampler tool or something else? If you mean the Color Sampler tool, open the Info panel from the Window menu to see the numbers. Or ask again if you mean something else.
