histogram borders gone
« on: May 19, 2006, 12:50:33 PM »
Histogram borders do not show at 0 and 255... don't know if it's always been and I'm just noticing it now or if it's new to PM4.4.3.  Regardless, it is disconcerting.  What looks like dead space in shadow/highlight areas in PM turns out to be a well rounded histogram in Photoshop.  Can someone tweak my levels on this matter?

Could you post images of PM's histogram and Photoshop's histogram so I can see what you're talking about?

Thanks,

Prompt as always Kirk... The big difference I'm refering to is the "beveled" edge around Photoshop's histogram that delineates 0 and 255 to say if hi/low adjustments are needed.  PM histogram has no "box" around the graph and gives the impression that Levels need be adjusted to improve true blacks and highlights.  Hope attached files demonstrate this clearly.  Let me know if you need more clarification.

As always, thanks.

Man those screenshots are big... sorry 'bout that.  Here's cropped version of the PM histogram.

So you're wanting something that looks more like this, right?

That's it exactly.  Without the "sides" the images appear missing shadow/highlight detail.

I have added an outline around the histogram.
