brightness distribution of an

 

 

 

 

pixels

 

 

 

 

image. The horizontal axis

 

 

 

 

represents brightness (dark at

 

 

 

 

of

 

 

 

 

the left and bright at the right)

 

 

 

 

Number

 

 

 

 

and the vertical axis represents

you whether the brightness and

Understanding Brightness

If the brightness is correct, the graph peaks in the middle. If the image is too dark, the peak is on the left side, and if it is too bright, the peak is on the right side.
