Where can you see the numerical values of an images extreme highlight and shadow points? I dont mean setting the points. Can you look someplace in PS and see what the highest and lowest RGB values existing are ? The Info palette requires you to manually run your mouse over parts of the image to ‘manually find’ the brightest and darkest numerical values. The Levels histogram nor the histogram palette show these 2 values either

The easiest way I know of to quickly find the brightest and darkest areas of an image is using Image>Adjust>Threshold.

BTW – the shadow and highlight, are normally determined manually as the brightest and darkest areas with important detail and no color. There may be areas that are brighter or darker that contain no important detail. —

Do you mean to type in a value, for example 5 or 250 and then toggle the preview on/off to see which parts, if any, of the image fall above or below that number ?

So there’s nowhere to at a glance just read that a particular images values fall between x and y (e.g. 3 and 252 or whatever) ?
