This Histogram Display Tool is a simple .NET application that can be used to view a histogram of the overall luminosity of an image (examples below), or of any individual color channel (examples not shown). This is a preliminary application created during work on a digital photography course. It is posted for free for entertainment purposes.


Figures 1 and 2: Example images loaded in the histogram display tool.




Figures 3 and 4: An example of an image and its histogram, with and without strict scaling. When strict scaling if off, "spikes" are truncated on the display.


You can also view the image as seen through the currently selected channel by checking the view channel box.



You can download either the executable or a ZIP file containing the executable.
