Version: (using KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Hi, I think it would be very useful to display 3 diagrams (R,G,B) at the same time. The combined view is, imho, not very efficient to see correctly the histogram.
Fabien, I not agree to use 3 separate view for that, and for a simple reason : it take too more space. A better way is to make a semi transparent histogram, like photoshop do for ex. This can be done easily with Qt4. Marcel, your viewpoint... Gilles Caulier

Gilles, I understand your opinion, but I think it should be configurable. Look at my screenshot made with 20" wide LCD screen (1680x1050 resolution). There's plenty of space for that... Even my 2.5" lcd screen camera can display the 3 histograms. I find that so useful that it's a pity to not have it in digiKam.

I added another screenshot of photoshop histograms. I still think displaying 3 different diagrams is much easier to read than having a combined one... And, it doesn't take some much space :)
Digikam features should fit into 800x600 window. I think it is possible but barely.
My viewpoint: In the default case, just as Mikolaj said, we cannot use three histograms. It is too large. Transparent drawing in the combined view is a good idea as far as I see. Three separate histograms as an option? I dont object if there is user demand.
Please, not another option.
No need to add another option, we just need another menu entry. Right now, there's channel : - luminosity - Red - Green - Blue - Alpha - Colors Just add "RGB channels" and that's it :)
I like histogram channels selection from RawTherapee : http://www.flickr.com/photos/digikam/5348758734/sizes/o/in/photostream/ We only just 5 new tool buttons (as histogram scale) to show relevant color channel together : Luminosity Red Green Blue Alpha And that all... Gilles Caulier

Please tests and report. My patch is against git/master. Let's me hear if this solution is suitable for you. It's not configurable. Gilles Caulier
