Bit depth refers to the color informaon 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 dierent color values.
This secon allows you to select a specic 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 secon 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 eecvely.
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
automacally set these boundaries for the soware’s detected ideal range.
