2. STEPS Histogram Settings The data comprising an image contains a variety of brightness settings ranging Pa from shadows to highlights These settings are represented in Plug in Module CS U by values ranging between 0 and 255 The difference in these values determines the image s contrast To show how much of the image data falls into each brightness setting Plug in Module CS U contains a histogram feature that shows this data distribution clearly With the histogram you can adjust the level of shadows and highlights to achieve beautiful tones with the best possible contrast Hint e You can enhance images with the histogram options only when the image has been previewed in the color or grayscale scan modes e You cannot enhance the image with the histogram when ColorSync is selected How to Interpret Histograms You can select the entire image or specify an area for which a histogram will be generated The height of the peaks of the histogram is directly related to the volume of data with the corresponding value Portion with Highlights Distribution of data with a bias toward highlights Rondoni we Distribution of data Shadows with a bias toward shadows Distribution of data widely distributed between shadows and highlights ST EPS How to Adjust Histograms To change the contrast in an image the distribution of data between shadows and highlights can be adjusted by d
