HistogramBy Vincent Bockaert Histograms are the key to understanding digital images. This 10x4 mosaic contains 40 tiles which we could sort by color and then stack up accordingly. The higher the pile, the more tiles of that color in the mosaic.

RGB histograms can show if an individual color channel clips, however they do not tell you if this is due to an individual color or all three. Color histograms amplify this effect and clearly show the type of clipping.

HISTOGRAM AND RGB COLOR AND TONAL RANGE EXPLANATION - Part 2 There are three different kinds of histograms. The most commonly used is the RGB histogram.
| |
Histograms A histogram shows how the 256 possible levels of brightness are distributed in an image.

Histograms weren't invented by camera manufactures (or Adobe for use in Photoshop either). In fact, they come from the field of statistics where they are used to graphically show the distribution of values within a set of data points.

Histograms are a very useful tool that many cameras offer their users to help them get a quick summary of the tonal range present in any given image. It graphs the tones in your image from black (on the left) to white (on the right).

HistogramA graphic representation of how brightness and darkness pixels are distributed in an image. A histogram skewed heavily to the left indicates a dark image, while a histogram skewed to the right indicates a light image.

Histogram: A vertical bar graph displaying the distribution of the tonal values of the pixels in an image. The X axis represents the tonal value of the pixels (0-255) and the Y axis represents the number of pixels having that tonal value. I ...

Histogram: A two-dimensional graphic representation level of occurrence in a photo of the range of tones from dark to light with horizontal the brightness and vertical the number of pixels. Useful for checking if the image is under or overexposed.

Histogram: A graphic representation of the range of tones from dark to light in a photo. Some digital cameras include a histogram feature that enables a precise check on the exposure of the photo.
| |
The histogram is particularly useful with high- contrast shots, where you have very bright and very dark areas. You can't expose for both properly in the one picture - and you need to decide where detail is most important.

So if your camera's histogram or blinkies tell you you've clipped a few of your highlights you might be able to save them during raw conversion(remember the in camera histogram is a JPEG histogram and doesn't show the extra exposure latitude of the ...

The graph that you see in the upper portion of the Levels dialog is called the " Histogram". It is a count of the number of points in an image that are a certain brightness.
| |
It displays the picture's levels histogram and allows you to manipulate it with a few simple but effective controls.

Do this by sliding the left slider towards where the histogram starts registering properly. If you want more contrast, you can slide it past where the histogram starts, as I have done here.

After taking a few pics and just deleting them, I started keeping them and looking at the histograms. All of them were really squashed down the left. hmmm.. I decided to just keep taking pics and worry about them later.

You can also use the histogram palette. This is a graph of the colors in your photo. If there is a spike on the very right of the histogram your photo is blown. Step 3 See how white the highlights are?

Check the digital camera's LCD screen for general framing of the picture, any movement, visibility of faces, and the histogram.
