Abstract
A computer with a monitor viewable program executes to display a histogram of image data on the monitor. The monitor contemporaneously displays a screen image viewed on a monitor of the histogram, and displays a digital or analog control element that controls both compression and expansion of midtones. Activation of the midtone compression/expansion element alters the displayed image according to effects of programs underlying the control of the element. This histogram display and element are associated on a single logical screen display in which at least one other image data modification effect is present on the screen image as an addressable image data modification effect.
