Interpreting the Histogram
The Histogram displays the channel's color using the RGB color mode.
This helps you see where your colors and color settings are in the image.
If they are all bunched up in one area, this provides information about
your image, such as whether it is heavy in shadows or highlights. As you
adjust the various settings, the histogram adjusts to show the graphical
display of the changes you are making to the image. Move your cursor in-
to the image and you will see the color channels display the RGB values
at that location in the image.
