[/img]I'd like XnView to be able switch between "clasic" linear histogram and logarithmic histogram (see GIMP).ilgaspa wrote:Right now the histogram fills the full pane (with no frame or axis) and has always all the three colour channels visible, wich I found IMHO really confusing (sometimes one colour has a really high peak and, as the histogram is scaled to that peak, other less "peakful" colours are really hard to see).. Some right click options to turn on/off the channes could be lifesavers in these situations, and a little framing with axis would make the histogram more readable... an alternative would be "limiting" these peaks so that the overall histogram is always clear... I know I'm not too clear myself (english isn't my language), but I mean something like the histogram shown in the right part of this screenshots (the graph is scaled to the "luminosity" plot, and the other channels maxs out)
I'd be fine with this, but not with the original suggestion.cnnrbl wrote:I'd like XnView to be able switch between "clasic" linear histogram and logarithmic histogram (see GIMP).
It can solve the problem above...
I opened a thread a while ago proposing the ability to add histogram to the "infos" you can show hide when fullscreen by tapping I on the keyboard... I'd like this too ^_^Danny wrote:Yet I think that being able to tell the xnview to "max out" at luminance peak, a la Zoner, would make the graph more readable... for example, when taking landscape photos, I end up with only the blue channel being visible, while red, green and luminance vanishes, squashed by the blue channel peak... And the fact that there's no margin or axis in the graph makes overexposed and underexposed area peaks (the ones at the extreme left and right of the graph) less visible, as they end up being a pixel wide line next to the frame margin... I don't say changing the behaviour radically, but making it a little more configurable would be great!cnnrbl wrote: In your program there, you would have to do a lot of scaling, which i think is worse.
I often use it in digikam, and I'd like it in xnview too... i think it's useful to overcome the same scenarios described abovecnnrbl wrote:Does enybody else use LOGARITHMIC HISTOGRAM?

this way who likes it as it is leaves it as it is, and who like me finds it confusing can change it's appearance
