Histogram - Lightroom CC & Fuji

[immo_p]

Hi everybody,

 

I'm a bit puzzled by some observations using Lightroom, hope somebody has any insights. The Histogram tends to show me clipping warnings in either highlights or shadows very, very often/early (using both X-T1 or X100T) - although I can still see details in these areas. If I open the same image in Iridient or look at the respective pic in camera, the amount of clipping seems to be considerably lower.

 

With my girlfriend's Sony A7, I don't see clipping warnings that early, but if they are shown it is actually true and something is blown out.

 

Any idea what the reasons might be? Default color space? Fuji having some kind of add'l headroom that Lightroom does not interpret correctly? Would really appreciate your expertise here...

 

Cheers

AFAIK clipping warning occurs when image developed from raw image (not necessarily raw image itself!) doesn't fit in histogram.

Probably you can see some detail because only one or two of RGB channels reach 255 limit.

Thanks for the answer...I also noticed that it happens more easily when I use the Fuji film simulations, maybe the answer is hidden in their settings? Don't know how to find out though.

Immo, the JPEG settings effect the histogram. Explained well on this post.

In-camera jpeg settings affect histogram observed on LCD screen of your camera only.

Lightroom/ACR develops raw image differently.

That's what happens when I apply the simulations in Lightroom as well. The film simulations have a very big effect on the histogram, to an extent where highlights/shadows can't be recovered anymore.
