What about the histogram?

high-flown words

Low height contrast

Underexposure: The pixels in the shadow and black areas are piled up, the whole area is dark, and some details in the shadow area are lost.

Normal: Phase elements are piled up near the midrange, with relatively uniform distribution, distinct overall levels and rich details.

Over-exposure: pixels near high-light and white areas accumulate, and the whole picture is bright, and some details in bright areas are lost.

High-profile: The accumulation of pixel peaks in high-profile areas is called high-profile and the picture is bright.

Low-key: the accumulation of pixel peaks in the shadow area is called low-key, and the picture is dark.

Midtone: Most pixels are distributed in the middle area, which is called midtone.

Long tone: the bright parts in the histogram are widely distributed, so it is called long tone, which means that the picture has a sense of hierarchy.

Alto: The area where the bright part of the histogram occupies 2 13 is called alto, which is used in the evening.

Short tone: If the brightness distribution range in the histogram is small, it is called short tone, and the picture appears foggy.
