[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 466204, member: 12496"] OK, but when I quoted you, you said "The real histogram freaks would [B]look at this[/B] and tell you how[B] this screams[/B] about all the white balance work you need to do because you have your colors peaking in different places." [LEFT][COLOR=#000000] I didn't think[B] this[/B] did that at all. :) The main thing I think important to know about histograms is that in regard to clipping, the single gray histogram in the camera is useless. It is NOT real data at all. Instead it is a math abstraction that shows grayscale luminance instead of clipping. ( [url=http://www.scantips.com/lights/histograms.html]There are Two Different types of Histograms[/url] ) We should ONLY look at the three RGB histograms in the camera (which are real data). Sometimes (D3100) the RGB histograms is a menu in Playback that is not on by default. Adobe histograms show it correctly. [/COLOR][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
