UM:Overlay Histogram
Hot key : F11
The histogram tool displays a graph of RGB colour information :
| • | For the entire image or |
| • | A selected area of the image |
This can be useful in helping identify how much colour correction is needed.
The button on the left activates the histogram, which will be displayed in the manner and location defined by the current graphs setting.
|
This is display only and is not rendered into any final output. |
Options
The available graph positions and types are as per the graphs.

Unlike the Graphs settings, the Histogram settings can be set in a histogram mode (RGB values overlaid) or a parade mode (RGB values separated in columns). |
