First, I don't understand how the information can go beyond the graph (e.g. if there's 10,000 pixels in the photo, and 0 is the blackest part, and the vertical part of the histogram goes up to 10,000, then even if the entire photo was black, in my mind the histogram should be one straight bar that goes all the way up on the left). Second, I don't understand how you can look at the graph and tell whether or not the information is clipped. Maybe I’m the only slow one, but I’m having trouble getting it.
