    Another interesting thing you can do in curves menu is to hold alt while dragging sliders to see which RGB values are being manipulated from light to dark.

    Great video! Thanks! I'd like to add that histogram is a tool from statistics and exists for different types of data. I can measure the height of 100 people and put on the x-axis height from 0 to 7 feet, divide it into bars 1 foot wide and then the height of the bars will be how many people have a height within that range. We often hear, for instance, that "in three days it's rained 90% of the rain expected for October" and say 'wow' but then we look at the histogram for rain in March for the past 20 years and notice that we had most of the rain - on the right side of the histogram - concentrated in 3 days during the month and then we'll say 'wait, why is this news?". The histogram in images shows how many pixels (y-axis) have that value of brightness (x-axis). The thing about most statistics tool is the meaning comes from what it's being used for - study height, analyze rain for public infrastructure work or process images and though I knew what histograms were I had no idea how to use them for photos so: thanks for the video!

    Thank you Nathan. I graduated in 2009 with a degree in Digital Art, but I never learned a lot of the things you've taught in your videos. I chalk this up to the degree program I took being very new and focused more on fine art, and what we were saying and the ideas we were exploring as opposed to the technical aspects of any of the programs we were using. I would have loved to have had you back in those days.

    Hey Daniel, I know you receive a thousand comments a day but I just want to take this moment and thank you for these videos. I started watching a cpl years ago as I worked for DJI as a young n starting graphics designer, back then I was already familiar with Adobe and their apps but I was always looking for tips and tricks to work faster in photoshop, illustrator etc, luckily your vids helped me tons.. fast forward I now have my own cinematography company (was my childhood dream). The point I'm getting at is that your tips and tricks helped me a lot and basically helped me to become who I am today. Thanks and much love brother.

    Nate, even tho this is a year late, I'll add that you fail to defend yourself by pointing out that there are closed captions AND that you go to the considerable effort of cleaning up what youtube's system produces. The machine transcription gives an author a helpful jump-start, but it cannot be used as it comes out of the machine. Not rocket science but it takes time, and it is very valuable whenever a speaker isn't quite clear for any number of reasons. Once again, you are immensely helpful and thoughtful about where your viewers may be coming from. Really a good educator.

    Maybe it's worth to mention that the histogram on the back of a camera is based on the jpeg. So the left won't be total black in the resulting raw file, and the right won't be total white in the raw file.

    Silly question here? I've been looking at histograms for years using BASIC photo editing programs like Windows Live Photo Gallery and never understood their use. Perhaps Photoshop allows one to edit layers, colors, and PARTS of photos separately, but in editing my "still life" photos for eBay listings, I can see if I need to make a photo lighter or darker or if I need to add highlights or shadows, or if I need more RED or or BLUE (which does NOT show up in the Photo Gallery histogram). I don't think I have any particular gift for eyeballing my best photo forms, colors and functions, so do I continue to assume that the Histogram is extraneous unless one is composing artwork from one's photos using Photoshop? Is there any use for a histogram in basic photo editing software? Or, are many people photo-challenged when it comes to editing their basic photos? Note that when I use the "AUTOCORRECT" function of Photo Gallery, the program adds too much blue, never corrects properly for exposure, and doesn't know which end is "UP" for straightening the subject. It doesn't consider "Highlights" or "Shadows" either. Because of this I concluded that Windows Photo Gallery uses their histogram for their "AUTO-CORRECT" and the histogram does NOT render the best possible edited version of any photo edited using Photo Gallery. I don't use auto correct and I pay little to no mind to the histogram. Have I been ruined because I used this simple program for too many years and avoided the learning curve for Photoshop? The value of using a histogram has bugged me for years. What am I missing?

    I've watched serval videos on histogram use, and none provide any useful information. All anyone demonstrates is that you can move the sliders via the "histogram" graphic. So what. How does this help me? I mean, I can see the changes in the photo if I use the sliders alone.

    At 3:18 why is the blown out white in the histogram not showing in the center, a line to the top? The histogram in my opinion should cover the entire photo, so the histogram is the same as the photo from left to right...in other words...in the middle of the photo, your histogram would show what is happening in the middle of the photo, so if blown out the middle of the histogram would show a line to the top being pure white at the top...to me my way of a histogram would show you more..
