Ep 40 Why do I need a Histogram?

About this episode

This week's episode is about Histograms.  A histogram is a graph that shows the brightness of the pixels in your image. The horizontal axis of the histogram goes from pure black on the left side, to the brightest white on the right.  The vertical axis shows how many pixels are in that tone.

In this episode I cover:

  • What is a Histogram?
  • How do I see the Histogram?
  • Is it necessary to use a Histogram?
  • How do you read a Histogram?
  • Not in all cases
  • Mistakes and Pitfalls
