I just checked the CVS history; we've been using a log y axis (ie pixel count) ever since the histogram widget was writen. Jay Cox checked in the initial rev (including log scale) in March 1999. I've played around a bit with gimp looked at some web-based tutorials for histogram use in photoshop, and while I agree that gimp's log axis graphs don't look very similar to photoshop's, I don't think photoshop just uses raw counts. They also scale their data, but a little less aggressively than by a log scale. Austin
