the selected position in the image. Note the following:
• When showing RGB, the values indicate pixel brightness values (0 -
255) with white = 255, 255, 255.
• When showing CMYK, the output values indicate ink percentage values
(0 - 100) with white = 0, 0, 0, 0. However, input values are still shown in
