Histogram vs Waveform: Tonal Range vs Dynamic Range
You have a shot with a large range of tones, from black to white with shades of gray in between. But can your camera capture all of it? How can you tell?
We'll compare the histogram with the waveform monitor to read the tonal range in your image and compare it to the Dynamic Range of your camera. And we'll learn what those darn terms mean as well.
