A short guide to histogram corrections
This guide shows simple corrections that can be made with a histogram. Unlike the tone curve, the histogram provides information on a specific image. This can used to evaluate the image and make adjustments accordingly.
The histogram of the cherry blossoms shows a gap at the right and the flowers look a little grey. This is caused by slight underexposure when the image was captured.
By moving the highlight slider to the left to set the white point to where the pixel distribution ends, the whites become more brilliant and the contrast increases.
