bitmap traced image, I want to read it in cmyk

[markJ]

I converted a photo to vector photorealistic with the bitmap tracer, looks great for what I need, I wanted to be able to read each colour shape in CMYK as I scrolled over it with the colour picker..but it keeps defaulting back to RGB after I change the colour box to cmyk. Is there a way around this?
I need to gather the cmyk readings faster than having to scroll over a colour and change the drop down to cmyk for each one, as it defaults back to RGB as soon as I move the colour picker back over a different shape..

the help notes read that for transparent images it will read in RGB, but all the shapes in this image are opaque.. this screencap is basically same image, 1 is zoomed in, when I scroll over each shape with the colour picker they default to RGB, I want the readings in CMYK...
