55. Adobe Lightroom Beta 3 - RGB Value readouts

Article 55 of 100

There has been a lot of discussion on the Adobe Lightroom forum about Adobe using a percentage system for reading out RGB color values in Lightroom Beta 3, as opposed to the standard 8 bit, 0 to 255 color value system that many photographers are used to using with other image processing applications.

The argument circles around the fact that 16 bit color has a range of 0 to 32767 as opposed to the 8 bit range of 0 to 255 colors and the fact that actual RGB numbers are relative to the Color Space that you are working in. To those who are used to using Adobe Camera RAW there seems to be a move in the direction of matching the color readouts available in Adobe Camera RAW, in Adobe Lightroom.

In other words, don't get too excited about the current RGB Value readout capabilities of Adobe Lightroom, there are changes afoot and you too can voice your opinion on the Adobe Lightroom forum.

A close up of the Adobe Lightroom RGB Value readout. The readout is of the current location of your cursor as it passes over a selected image in the Develop Module.
