11.6 Histogram•••

A

Histogram

illustrates how pixels in an image are distributed by graphing the

number of pixels at each color intensity level. The

Histogram

shows whether the

image contains enough detail in the

Shadows

(shown in the left part of the

Histogram

),

Midtones

(shown in the middle), and

Highlights

(shown in the right part)

in order to make a good correction.

The

Histogram

also gives a quick picture of the tonal range of the image, or the

image key type. A low-key image has detail concentrated in the shadows, a high-key
image has detail concentrated in the highlights, and an average-key image has detail

concentrated in the

Midtones

. An image with a full tonal range has a number of pixels

in all areas. Identifying the tonal range helps determine the appropriate tonal
corrections.
