About histogram
A histogram is a graph that shows the brightness distribution of a photo.
A histogram inclined to the left indicates a dark photo. A histogram
inclined to the right indicates a bright photo. The height of the graph is
related to color information. The graph gets higher if a specic color is
more common.
