Histogram |
The histogram is a graphical representation of the color tone distribution in a selected video. During the playback of a video clip, the histogram values will continually change, indicating how the lighting in the video image changes. The X axis of the graph represents the RGB color tone value between 0 and 255, while the Y axis indicates the number of pixels in the video that have this value. The histogram is created with the three RGB (red, green, and blue) color values given to each pixel in the video image. The gray portions indicate where all three colors overlap on the histogram, while yellow, magenta, and cyan appear when two of the colors overlap. Click R, G, or B to view the red, green, or blue color channel values only in the histogram. Click RGB to return to the original histogram display and display all the channels. |
