Turn on your histogram in Adobe Lightroom mobile by tapping on the three-dot menu, View Options, Show Info Overlay and Show/Hide Histogram. You also have peaks representing each of those primary colours. The white peaks are a combination of the primary colors red, green and blue (RGB). A dark photo will have peaks on the left side and very little on the right side of the graph. Peaks in the middle represent the mid-tones.Ī high contrast photo with predominantly very dark and very bright areas in the photo will have a trough in the middle of the histogram. Peaks on the right side indicate there are highlights present. Peaks on the left side of the graph represent information present in the shadows. The peaks in the histogram represent visual information within that dark (shadows), bright (highlights) and area in between (mid-tones) in your photo. I am starting a little technical here! Bear with me, because understanding the histogram overlay in Lightroom mobile will help to visually demonstrate the below tools and how your adjustments will affect your photo.
