About the Histogram
A histogram is a graph that displays brightness along the horizontal axis (black to white)
and the number of pixels at each brightness level on the vertical axis.
It allows you to easily check a picture’s exposure.
1
Dark area, mid-tone, and bright area are balanced out evenly, making it suitable to take
a picture.
2
The picture will become underexposed with more dark area. The pictures with mostly
dark area, such as night scenery, will also have a histogram like this.
3
The picture will become overexposed with more bright area. The pictures with mostly
white area will also have a histogram like this.
