The luminance distribution of the image
The black area of the histogram shows the luminance distribution of the recorded
image from black (left) to white (right). Each one of the 256 vertical lines indicates the
relative proportion of that light value in the image. The histogram can be used to evalu-
ate exposure and contrast, but displays no colour information. A change in exposure
would create an image whose histogram would be the same shape as a previous
image, but would be shifted to the left (less exposure) or right (more exposure).
Changing the contrast would contract (decrease in contrast) or expand (increase in
contrast) the distribution of luminance values compared with a previous image of the
scene.
