Using the histogram and RGB levels in Camera Raw

The Camera Raw histogram shows all three channels (red, green, and blue) of the image simultaneously. The
histogram changes automatically as you adjust the settings in the Camera Raw dialog box.
As you move the Zoom tool, Hand tool, White Balance tool, Color Sampler tool, Crop tool, or Straighten tool over
the preview image, the RGB values of the area appear in the upper right corner of the dialog box.
You can also use the Color Sampler tool to place up to nine color samplers in the preview image. The RGB values
appear above the preview image. To clear the color samplers, click Clear Samplers.
The Camera Raw dialog box displays the RGB values of the area below the pointer.
