# Show Pixel Values Mode

In the Show Pixel Values Mode, you can use the cursor to reference a single pixel on the image when the spreadsheet overlay is not displayed. In this mode, as you move the cursor over the image, it registers:

- The 8-bit greyscale value for the pixel at that coordinate position when using monochrome In-Sight vision systems.
- The 8-bit RGB values for the pixel at that coordinate position when using color In-Sight vision systems.

The values are displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the image display.

## Invoke Show Pixel Values Mode

Click on the Show Grid button in the Spreadsheet toolbar or press SHIFT + F6 to hide the Spreadsheet overlay. You can hover the cursor over the image to register values in the status bar.

## Absolute Pixel Value and Approximate Pixel Value

When the image zoom ratio is set to 1:1 using the Zoom 1:1 button in the Spreadsheet toolbar, the status bar displays absolute pixel values. The status bar displays approximate pixel values using any other zoom settings.
