How Do I Remove a Color Graph in Lightroom?

The quickest way to remove the color graph, also known as the Histogram, in Lightroom is by using a simple touch gesture.

Quickest Method: The Two-Finger Tap

Based on the provided reference, the fastest way to hide the Histogram display (often appearing as a color graph) in Lightroom is through a two-finger tap on the image itself.

How the Two-Finger Tap Works

• Action: Place two fingers on the image preview area within Lightroom.
• Result: Perform a tap with both fingers simultaneously.
• Function: This gesture cycles through different overlay displays. It typically moves from:
  1. Info Overlay
  2. Histogram (the color graph)
  3. Off (no display)

Important Note: As highlighted in the reference, if you happen to turn off displays using other methods (like a menu option), the two-finger tap will actually turn the display back on again, cycling through the options until it's off again. Just be mindful of this behavior.

Using the two-finger tap is a highly efficient way to quickly show or hide the Histogram without navigating menus.

While the reference primarily focuses on the two-finger tap, it hints at other methods like using a "tri-dot menu." However, the two-finger tap is presented as the most direct and quickest approach for controlling the visibility of the Histogram overlay.

Summary of Display Cycling:

This simple gesture provides direct control over whether the histogram is visible on your screen while you are working on your images.
