Histogram and image viewing controls
While developing an image, you can adjust the magnification with the zoom controls, located in the bottom right corner.
It is extremely useful to have both the Exposure Warning and Histogram preview open while you are adjusting
exposure. Below the histogram, percentage of the pixels underexposed and overexposed is shown.
Histogram Displays the histogram preview for the current image. The histogram preview
shows the red, green, and blue color channels of the photo. Keeping the histogram
open is particularly useful when adjusting exposure, as the histogram reflects all
adjustments as you make them. When the histogram is enabled the icon is blue,
and gray when disabled.
At the bottom of the histogram, icons appear to notify you if there is a loss in
details in the highlights , or loss in details in the dark areas of the image.
Numbers beside these two icons represents the percent of pixels that have lost
details in either the shadows or the highlights.
Clipped Shadows and Highlights Displays clipped shadows and highlights. Click the icon or press E on the
keyboard, to highlight over- and under-exposed areas of the image. When the
shadows and highlights tool is enabled the icon is yellow, and gray when disabled.
Undo/Redo Undo to discard all changes made on the current tab. Redo to return to the options
that you had selected prior to clicking Undo.
Reset Discards the settings that you have selected and revert to the default settings for
each individual group. When you apply changes using one of the groups, the reset
button turns blue. Click on the reset button to reset the image to its default
settings.
