Tools on the right-side panel
The right-side panel is where all the tools affecting the look of our photographs are, and in the following subsections, we will learn what each of them can do.
Histogram
Just like with the Library module, our default view starts with Histogram, but this time, it is one of the tools to change the look of our photo, not just a window with information.

- Blacks
- Shadows
- Exposure
- Highlights
- Whites
