Open I Love To Edit Image Histogram, drop in a photo and read the chart. Peaks on the left mean dark tones, on the right bright tones. The stats show how many pixels are clipped to pure black or white.

A histogram shows how many pixels a photo has at each brightness. Photographers use it to check exposure: a pile-up at the right edge means blown highlights, at the left edge crushed shadows.

See luminance or each red, green and blue channel, with mean, median and the percent of clipped pixels.
