What most need in Photoshop is that it could "see" more than 3 or 4
gigs of RAM, and the beach ball was gone, forever...

My take is the app does operate at a higher precision, and the
numbers are
just rounded for the UI. The Info Palette and color mixers are
frustrating
because of that. What I found out though, is that you can get ink
values (and
L* values also) to the 1/100 of a percent with an AppleScript (and
I'm
assuming JavaScript). Copy this line and paste it into Script Editor:
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS" to get the foreground color
In Photoshop, sample a color from a CMYK or grayscale image to the
foreground
and run the script. The result will look like this:
{class:CMYK color, cyan:14.9, magenta:89.02, yellow:64.71, black:
22.35}
You can also set the foreground or background colors to specific
values:
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS" to set the foreground color to
{class:CMYK color, cyan:14.9, magenta:89.02, yellow:64.71, black:
22.35}
I've been using simple scripts like that to analyze or mix color
if it's
critical enough to do so.

Thank you Carl. This is wunderbar. It shows that the user is
shielded from a
lot of stuff going on behind the scene in Photoshop. With your
comment in
mind, I guess there ought to be some preferences for the level of
geekness
or precision in the interface to suit the needs of different kinds
of users.
So the absolute beginner or casual user would continue to see the
present
interface whereas people like you and me (and a host of other advanced
users, I suspect) could have access to Lch and decimal precision in
the Info
palette. Fantastic. When can I upgrade?
