pointer.
Within the Watch Points section,
you are provided with the following
controls:
Create Watch Point Button
By clicking on this button, you can add
up to four Watch Points to your image.
When you click on this button, the

you placed a Watch Point and an
entry will be added to the Watch Point

Color Model
This pull-down Menu enables you to
select the color model used to describe
the colors within the Watch Point
section. You can choose between the
RGB and HSB color models.
Sample Size
Use this option to change the number
of pixels which are used in sampling for
both the current color under the mouse
pointer as well as for each of the Watch

The Point option samples only a
single pixel. This is helpful if you want
to be very precise when selecting a
color and are able to target a pixel of a
specific color.
The 3 × 3 average option samples a
total of nine pixels in a grid of three
pixels by three pixels and averages the
colors of each pixel before displaying
the result. Since areas within a photo-
graph are generally made up of small
variations of color, selecting this option
provides a more accurate rendition of
the color of the targeted area.
The 5 × 5 average option samples a
total of twenty-five pixels in a grid of
five pixels by five pixels and averages
the colors of each pixel before display-
ing the result. This option is recom-
mended for higher resolution images.
