Color readouts
I know this issue has been discussed many times from, say, 2 or 3 years, but I can't understand why, when you use color readouts on one image, all other images in the browser, even when not selected, are also affected by the color readouts at the same locations, i.e. at locations we are absolutely not interested in.
Is there any workaround people or the staff would know not to be faced with this issue ? My (an other people) wish would be that colour readouts are posted only on the image (and its variants) I am working on.
I know people submitted requests about that, but without any success, seemingly.
Thanks

Perhaps I don't understand the problem. I am using the latest version of C1 20 and don't see anything that resembles your description, either when getting color readouts or when adjusting colors in a selected image.
Am I not understanding the problem?

Thank you Allen for your answer. You'll find below two crops of images. The first (Chinese temple) is the one I am interesting in for reading RGB values on some parts of the image. It belongs to a session.
The second one (drum and sky) has been affected by the colour readouts, albeit I am not at all interested in measuring the RGB values on this picture which, on top of that, belongs to my catalogue ! So, when you want to work on one image, the colour readouts are posted on ALL images !

Robert,
It has always been like that.
The values are representing what is shown on screen at the selected points after all adjustments and output profiles and proofing has been applied.
It is not a "per image" selection. In many use cases that is is fine, IMO.
I have worked form time to time with images where I wanted to check specific colours on two images at different points of the screen. Sometimes the same image with a different crop for example. The screen can be a little cluttered then and being sure one has selected exactly the same pixels is a challenge. However I don't imagine for a moment that anyone involved in the design of the tool some year ago intended it for precision pixel level adjustments.
By nature this is a Fine Art tool not a mass change aid or anything much in between.
To make it work differently may require some extended redesign and probably a lot more power and machine memory.
Just my opinion of course.

Thank you Grant. Yes, I know it has been like that from the beginning. It is not a real issue for me, but I was surprised that colour readouts at specified positions (at the pixel level, yes, it is a very precise tool) for an image affected the whole set of images in my catalogue and in the session, when catalogue and session are opened. Accordingly, if I don't want all other images affected by colour readouts just in one, I have to deactivate "colour readouts" in "View", or delete them.

Would there be a way to clear all the color readouts?
Can't find any commands to do that.I have to painstakingly select each readout and THEN delete it.

Right click on a readout. One of the options is delete all readouts.
