Using the "Show Lost Highlights" tab, I notice that NX2 displays various parts of an image with different colors, from blue to red to white... Is this the way of demarcating, "nearly blown, slightly blown, totally blown"?

The Histogram would tend to support my theory, but I wanted to check with others who know the program...
