If the Info panel is not open, choose Window > Info. The Info panel appears.
In the Info panel, you see general information about RGB and CMYK values, as well as pinpoint in-
formation about the three Color Sampler markers you have created. You'll focus only on the #3 marker,
since the first two were used to indicate highlight and shadow.
Notice that to the right of the #3 marker in the Info panel, there are two values separated by a forward
slash. You'll focus only on the set of values to the right of the slash. Depending upon where you clicked
in the gray area, you could have different values. The numbers to the left of the forward slash are the
values before you started making adjustments in the Curves panel. The numbers to the right of the for-
ward slash are the new values that you are creating with your curve adjustments.
Focus on the values to the right of the forward slash.
