I'm confused about the two ways in which ACR indicates clipping at the low and high end of the histogram. The two triangles above the histogram light up when one or more channels are being clipped. However, you can also toggle the two triangles to show clipping in the image itself (clipped areas light up in red or blue).
What I've noticed is that the clipping warning in the image shows up quite a bit earlier than the lighting up of the triangles above the histogram.
Why is there a difference and which one is "right"? I do notice a small "mountain" appearing at the edge of the histogram before the triangles light up, which makes me suspect that the triangles are less reliable.
