Hi Goncalo,
In practical terms for this the logarithmic spreads out the shadow and midtone
values so that you can see what is happening there rather than giving a
disproportionate prominence to highlights. That seems good - except for the
fact that most often we are using this view to look at where the highlights are
:)
That all said they are just different ways of presenting the same information
so use whichever seems the most useful to yourself. I usually stick to linear
myself but occasionally flip between them if I'm interested in a particular
image's shadows.
Rgds,
Rob.

Subject: [Darktable-users] Logarithmic histogram
Hi guys.
I would like to better understand how to read the logarithmic view of the
histogram. What's the difference between it and the normal linear view and how
can i interpret it's meaning? What are the advantages/disadvantages of each
view?
Can you point me to some source of information where i can find out more about
this?
Thanks in advance.
