Hi, Roel. Yes, I use the scopes for luminance values, to see where I am on that scale, but what I have in mind is being able to know the RGB values from the shadows through the highlights. I have a pretty well-tuned monitoring, but the RGB values are essential. Or am I missing something?

Thanks, guys. I’ll make the request and give your suggestions a shot.

How are you supposed to color correct without knowing whether black is black, gray is gray and white is white?

I have a workaround:

Apply the Tint effect and use the eyedropper to sample your value (or two, using both boxes).  From there, you have a couple of options:

1 - copy the Tint effect and paste it elsewhere, disable the FX button while keeping the color rectangles revealed, and use the color box to do another eyedropper sample

2 - after eyedropping the color, click the color rectangle box and copy the Hex value (#), and paste that into your destination color value


If I have a color palette to use throughout a sequence, I’ll make a PNG of it in Ae, import into Pr, and load that into the Source monitor placed next to the Effect Controls for eyedropping.

actually no. strange isn't it?

please ask for it here and I will do the same: 

here's a free tool I found that will give you RGB readouts and has a small footprint

Hey, gang.

Sort of off-topic: In Ae I can see the RGB values in t6he info box by simply by moving the pointing device over the footage. Is there anything like that in Premiere? Or do I have to use Resolve or Avid to get this kind of feedback?

Thanks,

Jonathan Penzner
