Sample Size button

Sample Size button displays the sample size. The values as a

whole represent color information for the sample size selected in the Sample
Size button. For instance, if you chose 3 x 3 as your sample size and your R
value reads 23, that shows your red value of 23 is the average of a 3-pixel by 3-
pixel area.

Pixel-value information is useful when you are making image corrections based
on color values. Knowing this, you can modify the White and Black points of an
image, then come back to the same point in the image, and verify through the
output value that the image type values have indeed changed.

Using the Pixel Display

The Pixel Display helps you see how color pixels are organized and distributed.
The display can then help you make an informed judgment on how best to
modify image characteristics such as White and Black points, it also allows you
to verify any changes you have made.
