Histogram Question

[Enrique Blein]

I'm sorry if this sounds like a dumb question:

I understand that the histogram, shows from left to right, low lights, middle tones and finally highlights. What I don't understand is what does the height of the histogram means (that is, the height of the blue red or green values)

 

[Terry VerHaar]

The number of pixels at that light level.

 

[Joel Arvidsson]

I think its just the amount of pixels distributed in a specific range. You beat me to it terry. Stupid phone
