Sampling Color

The 3D video scope also provides controls for sampling and analyzing the color of the
currently displayed image. Three swatches at the bottom of the video scope let you
sample three different colors for analysis.

Note: These controls are visible only when the 3D scope is occupying an area of the
Scopes window.

To sample and analyze a color:

1

Click one of the three color swatch buttons at the bottom of the 3D scope.

2

Drag within the image preview area to move the color target to the area you want to
analyze, and release the mouse button.

As you drag the color target over the image preview, three things happen:

 The color swatch updates with that color.
 The H, S, and L values of the currently analyzed pixel are displayed to the right of the

currently selected swatch.
