Best Answer

The histogram is simply a graph that allows you to judge the brightness of an image.

You can think of the area under the graph as comprising all the pixels in your captured digital image.

The left side of the histogram depicts how many "dark" pixels you have captured; the right side, how many "bright" pixels you have captured.

The histogram allows photographers to tell at a glance whether they have exposed their photo the way they wanted to. It can also alert them to under- and over-exposed situations.
