1     The 

 is a graphic representation of how all the pixels in an image are distributed across

brightness and darkness levels. The darkest pixels are at the left; the lightest pixels are at the
right.

•  A histogram skewed heavily to the left indicates that the image has many more dark pixels than

light.

•  A histogram skewed heavily to the right will indicate a light image as it has more light pixels

than dark.

•  The height of the histogram indicates the number of pixels at that point in the histogram.

2     The 

 (indicators) below the histogram adjust the Shadow, Midtone, and Highlight

settings.
•  The black (left) triangle controls the shadows. Moving this triangle to the right will emphasize

shadows and create a darker image.

•  The gray (middle) triangle controls the midtones. Moving it to a value less than 1.0 will have the

effect of darkening the image. Moving it to a value greater than 1.0 will have the effect of
lightening the image.

•  The white (right) triangle controls the highlights. Moving this triangle to the left will emphasize

highlights and create a lighter image.

Note: The gray and white triangles will change in color if a color channel (not Master) is selected
in the Channel box.
