RE: Clipping



No, it refers to a histogram that tries to extend past one end or the other,
and get's clipped off. If you process one of your scanned images in
Photoshop with Levels, you can pull the black and white markers in to the
edge of the histogram, but if you pull them in further, you begin to lose
information.
