../../_images/editors_image_sidebar_panel.png — Display panel.

Aspect Ratio: Display Aspect for this image. Does not affect rendering.
Repeat Image: Duplicate the image until it is repeated to fill the main view.

Annotations

Options for the annotation tool. See Annotations.

Scopes

Histogram

This mode displays a graph showing the distribution of color information in the pixels of the currently displayed image. The X axis represents values of pixel, from 0 to 1 (or 0 to 255), while the Y axis represents the number of pixels in that tonal range. A predominantly dark image would have most of its information toward the left side of the graph.

Use this mode to balance out the tonal range in an image. A well-balanced image should have a nice smooth distribution of color values.

Luma: Shows the luminosity of an image.
RGB: Shows the RGB channels stacked on top of each other.
R/G/B/A: Depending on the channel you choose the scope will show the appropriate channel.
Show Line: Displays lines rather than filled shapes.

Waveform

Waveform Opacity

Opacity of the points.

Waveform Mode

Luma: ToDo.
YCbCr: ToDo.
Parade: The RGB channels are shown side-by-side.
Red Green Blue: Shows the RGB channels overlaid as a “Full color” waveform. It is useful for color grading.

Vectorscope

Vectorscope Opacity: Opacity of the points.

Sample Line

The Sample Line scope is the same as the Histogram but allows you to get the sample data from a line.

Sample Line: Used to draw a line to use to read the sample data from.

Scope Samples

Full Sample: Sample every pixel.
Accuracy: Proportion of original image source pixel lines to sample.
