How to switch from RGB to LAB in LR
« on: February 17, 2018, 07:46:41 pm »

In the waterfall video Charles Cramer has his eyedropper tool set to display values in LAB instead of RGB. Quite a few videos prior he talked about making the change so that it displays LAB when in PS but I can't figure out how to do it in LR. He is using LR5, I'm on LR Classic if that makes any difference. Does anyone know how?

In the DevelopModule Control-click on the histogram and check the bottom line in the drop-down menu "Show Lab Color Values".

Or right-click (not control-click) on Windows.
