Channels

Main Menu: Image > Adjust > Channels

The Adjust Channels window allows modifying selectively the brightness in each image channel.

Each tab in the Channel window is intended to adjust the image pixels colors, by using different channels arrangements.

The image may be divided into different channels:

  1. RGB: Red - Green Blue

  2. HSL: Hue - Saturation - Luminosity

If the entire image is not visible in the image  window, you can use the navigation buttons to bring another area of the image into view or to zoom in or out the image.

Click Restore to undo any changes applied to the image.
Only if Auto Apply is selected or if you selected Apply once, changes will be applied to the image, otherwise the will be only previewed.

To apply the changes to the image either click Apply, select Auto Apply or click OK to apply the changes and close the window.

Use the R buttons, close to each channel slider, to reset that channel to 0.
