histogram-illustrates how pixels in an image are distributed by graphing the number of pixels at each color intensity level.
Additional Reading
Extra This can show you whether the image contains enough detail in the shadows (shown in the left part of the histogram), midtones (shown in the middle), and highlights (shown in the right part) to make a good correction
vaporware-sarcastic term used to for software and hardware products that have been announced and advertised but are not yet available
Microcomputer-A personal computer that contains a central processing unit (CPU), a memory system, all housed in a motherboard.
Minicomputer -A midsized computer that is a multiprocessing system capable of supporting from 4 to about 200 users simultaneously.
