Initially I had LAB readout working OK in Capture One 11 but recently when I switch LAB readout on, select colour readout and click where I want the readout all I get is a blank readout see below

Has anyone any idea how I can get LAB readour back
By thw way RGB readout is still ok.

  Did you try the variations of the L a b readout that are available?

  No, but previous experience when I had it working is that Adobe default is the one to use. Not on my PC at moment but it's the 2nd choice I think and is fairly generic.

  No idea about which is best to use other than reading the help pop-outs when making a selection.
  
  Have you got Proof Profiling ON?

  I think I've tried both on and off but will retry and report back tomorrow.

  I see what you see only if Proof Profiling is OFF so far as I can ascertain.

  Well it is very interesting LAB readout seems to require that a proof profile is selected, but not just any proof profile. LAB readout is there if I select ProPhotoRGB as the proof profile but not if I select my prefered paper as the proof profile 😕 .
  LAB in Lightroom is not fussy at all so I can only assume that CO is trying to be really clever in a much narrower high accuracy Pro workflow rather than a general purpose workflow.
