Okay, two; a second one occurred to me as I was typing.  First, be aware that the histogram is based on your JPEG, not the RAW data. If your white balance is wrong, or if you have a mode set for your JPEGs, that will skew your histogram.  And second, the separate RGB histograms are much more useful than the combined graph, especially if you shoot people.  People have a lot of pink in their skin, and the red channel is often further to the right than the other channels.  The overall histogram may look fine, but you can still be overexposed in your JPEG in that one channel.  So look at all three, not just the average.</p></blockquote><p></p>
