Resolves #3958
im.histogram()groups pixel counts into 256 bins per channel, even forIandFmode images (which have pixel values of 0 to 65535, meaning that you could have 65536 bins in theory).The ImageStat module performs operations on that histogram. This means that for
IandFmode images, ImageStat can only report what it has been given.So I've added a note that
mean,median,rmsand the maximumextremacan't be more than 255.
