im doing a photography course and for an assignment i need to do a dynamic range test .... ive taken all my grey card exposures and now in DPP i need to make a note of the individual RGB values for each shot. i cannot figure out where to get these values from ..... i know its easily gotten in photoshop from the info panel, but i cannot find this info in DPP, which is the only software i have access to at this time. i tried right-clicking on the RAW image, i can view the RGB histogram on the camera and in DPP, but cannot get individual values. ive read the instruction manual and cant find the answer in there either ...can i get these values in DPP? can anybody help advise me where im going wrong ....?

Display the image in DPP, Edit window or Edit Image window. In the lower left corner there will be a numerical read-out of the RGB values at whatever point the mouse cursor is on (as well as the positional coordinates of the pixel, the file format - Raw, jpg or tif - and the working color space). If you want a single grey-scale value and the file is Raw, you can set the Picture Style to Monochrome and you will get one value repeated three times for the RGB channels.

thankyou! i see where they are now! thanks for your help
