Choose a histogram view
When you show the Adjustments inspector or the Adjustments pane of the Inspector HUD, a
histogram of the selected image’s luminance or color channels appears. The histogram displays a
graph of the brightness values in the image, from the blackest point to the whitest point. You can
adjust the histogram to show luminance; red, green, and blue (RGB) channels displayed together;
or separate red, green, and blue channels.
