I discovered yesterday (or maybe rediscovered?) that you can drag the histogram in Lightroom to adjust the exposure of a photo.
From right to left, these are the sliders affected when you drag:
- Blacks
- Shadows
- Exposure
- Highlights
- Whites
It can appear like a blunt, inaccurate tool to modify the exposure of a photo, but do it at least once, and you’ll get a better appreciation for what the histogram actually displays.
