I tend to shoot multiple exposures/bracketing, so I can decide later which is the best candidate to post process. When I am doing first pass on batch of new pictures via Full Screen Preview, it would help to have a histogram of the picture, just like other values (ISO, Tv, Av) - requested in another suggestions here already. Thank you.

This will be very handy, especially when culling photos in full screen I want to have ability to see histogram. Similar to mirror-less camera, when I shoot photos I can get the histogram as overlay across the viewfinder. I think Lightroom Classic should develop in general feature to display any editing parameter, or any meta data in screen overlay in any views and leave it for users to configure it as we want. ..alternatively open the product to create our own plugins as the current plugin community is very limited compared to other products. Adobe is missing out here.

To show this I created the LrC plugin myself - tested it today, will publish it on GitHub next day or two (+ will add link here).

here’s the LrC plugin showing histogram in fullsreen photo view - works on Windows, with MacBook it’s limited due to incorrect implementation of LrC plugins by Adobe… so it shows histogram in plugin window, but you can’t keep the window on top of all other windows (so it’s hidden in fullscreen photo view): https://github.com/deafmouse/LrC_plugin_histogram_overlay
