    watch the video “How a Pixel Gets Its Color” and that should be a huge hint on what these colors mean (Yellow for example are those shades of Red and Green which overlap) :)

  22. TheWakeUpCall says:

    In lightroom I see histograms of loads of different colours, would have been nice to see a mention of that because that sort of confuses me a little. But I can probs work it out now I’ve seen this so thanks.

    I think you mean JPEG compression not encryption.
