Re: filmscanners: VueScan Histogram was VueScan 7.3.2

I agree with Hill James:
using the histogram is functional when you have feedback on what is going to
be clipped.
This could be achieved by
1. indicator color on the going to be clipped part of the image (seems
complex to me to realize)
or by
2. a measurement tool indicating rgb levels in 16 bit and in 8 bit numbers
on mouse position. This can be used for the numeric input of clipping point
of B and W. (should be easier to implement)

A histogram is a big aid, but should be paired with some visual feed back on
what pixels in teh image are BP and WP.
