how to Understand image histograms
Understanding image histograms is probably the single most important concept to become familiar with when working with pictures from a digital camera TONES
region where most of the brightness values are present is called the "tonal range." image is an example which contains a very broad tonal range, with markers to illustrate where regions in the scene map to brightness levels on the histogram HIGH AND LOW KEY IMAGES
underexposure is usually more forgiving than overexposure (although this compromises your signal to noise ratio). Detail can never be recovered when a region becomes so overexposed The histogram is a good tool for knowing whether clipping has occurred since you can readily see when the highlights are pushed CONTRAST
