Bit depth refers to the color informaon stored in an image. The higher the bit depth, the more colors it can
store. 1 bit stores 2 values, so a 16 bit image can store 32 dierent color values.
This secon allows you to select a specic area in your sample’s view area as the region that one is interested
in viewing. It is simply a visual aid for the user.
This secon is a graph that illustrates how pixels in an image are distributed by graphing the number of pixels
at each color intensity level, including shadows (low values), mid-tones (middle of the range), and highlights
(top of the range). This is mainly used to ensure that the image captured has enough detail to use other correc-
ons eecvely.
The drop down menu (by default set to “RGB”) allows you to view all or a single color channel.
“Le” and “Right” allow you to set boundaries to limit the range for best image quality. Clicking “Auto” will
automacally set these boundaries for the soware’s detected ideal range.
