What is Histogram?
I canĂ¢€™t understand the histogram of my camera and photoshop. Can any body help me to know the basics of understanding histogram?

Thank you

I had a heck of a time wrapping my head around this too, but it was SO worth the effort. I applaud your desire to learn!

These are excellent links! I wish there would have been such a thing as the internet when I was learning Photoshop!

Good luck-

Also remember that each color channel has its own histogram. What's normally presented on a camera is the histogram for total luminosity. It is possible for one or even two color channels to have blown highlights if the remaining channel(s) are darker, and still have the luminosity histogram show that nothing is blown.
For this reason, when editing, display the individual R, G, and B channel histograms if your editing software allows that. Watch each channel as opposed to the luminosity.
