IMPPG histogram

Post by denababy »

Hi, I’m new to this software but when I’m working on an image the histogram disappears. Anyone have an answer to this? When I open the image the histogram is there but then disappears!!!

Hi, do you mean - just the histogram (which is displayed in the background of the tone curve window), or the whole tone curve window? Could you post a screenshot? Keep in mind that the histogram is calculated just for the selected processing area. E.g., if you select a piece of dark sky beside the solar disc, the histogram might be almost empty.

Hi thanks for the reply. It is the chart within the window that disappears but the window with the line is still there and as I move the line with the various points, nothing happens. I have tried saving with all the extensions I.e tiff, jpeg etc.

This is expected, as the histogram is calculated for the processed selection before tone curve is applied.

Please post a screenshot showing ImPPG with your image loaded and the tone curve window displaying an invalid histogram.
