![Band 1, Landsat 7 image of Alban Hills](/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2010/03/band_1_landsat_7_image_of_alban_hills/10260298-2-eng-GB/Band_1_Landsat_7_image_of_Alban_Hills_article.jpg)
To inspect the distribution of the pixel values in the image choose Histogram.
![Histogram for LS7_190_31_09062001_B01.tif](/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2010/03/histogram_for_ls7_190_31_09062001_b01.tif/10175344-2-eng-GB/Histogram_for_LS7_190_31_09062001_B01.tif_article.jpg)
It is seen that the pixels have values in the range of 62 to 137. The pixel values are visualised in the gray scale image where pixel value 0 is shown as black and pixel value of 255 is shown as white. Therefore the image is gray with little contrast.
Choose View/Image Values to open a window with the matrix of the pixel values.
