Histogram in Photos

Greetings,

There used to be a histogram on top of the editing tools on the right when editing a photo with Photos.

In the last updates of High Sierra it disappeared.

I think it would be great to have it back... anybody knows how to? Or shall I fill up a feedback form?


Have a great [moment of the day when you read this]

True, those are there, but they tend to be on the bottom of the list and only the curves one updates while editing.

I meant this one:


User uploaded file


... and while searching for it on the internet, I also found how to activate it again:

View -> Show Histogram....

Sorry, I don't know how I could miss it 😀

Anyway.. solved: thanks Larry for asking the question that allow me to answer myself!

No wonder, you missed it, Matteo. 😁 It is not very intuitive to hide editing options in the View menu - this menu is mainly about metadata. In the previous version of Photos we had a specific menu in the Editor, where we could select, which editing tools will show in the editor panel. Now all tools will always be showing, which is very convenient, but only the most important tool, the histogram, has been removed to a menu, that has nothing at all to do with the Editor. I hope, the developers will reconsider this confusing design decision.
