I was imaging last night and my histogram has the hump appear just left of center of the graph but the colors trail off to the left side of the graph. What does that mean? Should that be corrected and if so how?
Thanks

Re: Histogram question
Hi,
having the colours spread out further than the white 'luminance' line in the histogram is quite normal - that's because the luminance value for pixels tend to vary less as they are made up of a combination of the R,G and B values. A very low (or high) value for one of the colours doesn't have such a big effect on luminance.
I think everything is probably OK, but if you want to post a screenshot showing the histogram that you are concerned about then it would be easier to tell for sure from the image than from the description.
cheers,
Robin
