I would like to know, theoretically, cropping a photo would change it's histogram? I’m just a beginner learning to use her new camera.

Some experts recommend one, some the other. One cannot do both unless you scroll through all the display options for a shot. That said, I tend to focus on the blinkie display and find my shots often 1 to 1.5 stops under exposed. Anyone else have this conundrum?

I have a histogram that can be changed from Brightness to RGB and they look different. I take alot of landscape photos and love certain shades of blue for my backgrounds. I'll have to see how those look on both of those histograms. It was interesting. I have a histogram that can be changed from Brightness to RGB and they look different.

My DSLR has 4 histograms for every photo - white, red, green, and blue. Why ? For example, in the red histogram, what is the difference between the extreme left and the extreme right ? Similarly, for the other 3. ........ Barry As you said, one could spend much more time on this subject. My DSLR has 4 histograms for every photo – white, red, green, and blue. Why ?
