Tips for Working with the Histogram in Lightroom Classic
The Histogram displays a visual representation of all of the pixels values in an image, plotted from black on the left to white on the right; the height of the column shows how many pixels in the image have that value. The values are measured in 16 bit and are displayed as a percentage (between 0-100%). The Histogram can be an essential tool for managing the dynamic range of an image so that you can be sure you aren’t pushing important details in an image’s highlights or shadow areas to pure white or black without detail.
