[Brightness] display
z
This histogram is a graph showing the
distribution of the image's brightness level. The
horizontal axis indicates the brightness level
(darker on the left and brighter on the right)
while the vertical axis indicates how many pixels
exist for each brightness level. The more pixels
there are toward the left, the darker the image.
The more pixels there are toward the right, the
brighter the image. If there are too many pixels
on the left, the shadow detail will be lost. If there
are too many pixels on the right, the highlight
detail will be lost. The gradation in-between will
be reproduced. By checking the image and its
brightness histogram, you can see the exposure
level inclination and the overall gradation.
[RGB] display
z
This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of each primary
color's brightness level in the image (RGB or red, green, and blue). The
horizontal axis indicates the color's brightness level (darker on the left
and brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates how many
pixels exist for each color brightness level. The more pixels there are
toward the left, the darker and less prominent the color. The more pixels
there are toward the right, the brighter and denser the color. If there
are too many pixels on the left, the respective color information will be
lacking. If there are too many pixels on the right, the color will be too
saturated with no gradation. By checking the image's RGB histogram,
you can see the color's saturation and gradation condition, as well as
white balance inclination.
