P: Brighten the Histogram as LrC 13.0 histogram is much darker than LrC 12.5

Lightroom Classic 13.0, macOS Ventura 13.6

 

New histogram look in develop module draws histogram in afancy stule with a line contour that envelops the histogram and stretches all the way from blacks to highlights. The line contour stretches the whole length of the histiogram all the time and this makes it impossible to see the real data distribution or where highlights or blacks need to be adjusted and how much of the range is left. The histogram view is basically useless. This fancy displaying is style over substance change and negates the reason to use histogram - please revert to old style histogram where empty areas are easy to see and there are no fancy line contours. Better yet - make your developers coming up with these fancy ideas to actually use the product themselves.

 

The clipping iundicators are no help either because I have a situation where clip indicator show no clipping yet when selected shows some small areas of clipping in image - see screenshot with clipping indicator shows no clipping in highlights yet when selected shows blown highlights on swans.
I had no issues using histogram in Lightroom Classic 12 and it was far more useful when presenting information to the user, please reinstate it!

Adding my 2 cents in, as a request for change.

Add a option button in the Histogram, to select Histogram version.

Is not a bad design decision by Adobe coders a bug?

To me, something we want added, or improved, or yes changed is an Idea. Adobe going opps, customers hate this is a bug.

And by the way, Library mode shows gistogram better without that stupid continuous contour line so it is a bug.

Not a bug. Moving to Ideas.

It is a bug - it prevents photographers using workflow that was working previously.
