I was watching a video from a couple of years ago in which the presenter added a color sampler and it looked like this as he moved over the image:

However, in Photo 2 if I add a sampler it doesn't show the color channel values near the mouse pointer, but rather the pixel coordinates:

I know the color values are visible in the Info panel, but it could be handy at times to see them at the mouse pointer as well.

Is this a setting or was it changed with Photo 2? I've looked in Preferences but found nothing.

Thanks.

Sampling from a position image.png.6737a693ba1ed01df5e1b4c9d65cc135.png works the same in V2 as in V1: The coordinates are displayed.
Probably the presenter has picked up a colour with the eyedropper image.png.4d25155df8681c506c1bbce4a406dbc0.png from the colour or colour field panel. In this case, the colour values are displayed.
