3 Some sample histograms are shown below:

If

the

image contains objects

with

a

wide

range

of

brightnesses,

the

distribution

of

tones will be relatively even.

•

If

the

image

is

dark,

tone

distribution

will

be shifted

to

the

left.

If

the

image

is

bright,

tone

distribution

will be shifted

to

the

right.

••

Increasing exposure compensation shifts

the

distribution

of

tones

to

the

right

while

decreasing exposure compensation shifts

the

distribution

to

the

left. Histograms can

provide a rough idea

of

overall exposure

when

bright

ambient

lighting

makes

it

difficult

to

see

photographs

in

the

monitor.
