Channel Mixer
Digital images are comprised of Red, Green, and Blue information. These components are called
channels and if they are not balanced properly an image can show color casts. By modifying
channels you can choose to emphasize or deemphasize certain details. The Channel Mixer filter
allows fine-tuning adjustments and mixing of the Red, Green and Blue color channels (RGB) to
create highly customized images. Many users will also use the effect in combination with their black
& white conversions workflows.
• Red/Green/Blue. Use the tabs to switch between each color channel.
• Red. Influences the balance of Red details.
• Green. Influences the balance of Green details.
• Blue. Influences the balance of Blue details.
• Constant. Adds a global amount of influence to the entire channel.

TIP
If you press and hold the Option key and click on a slider value in the sidebar, moving the cursor to
the left and right will let you set the values of the slider with high accuracy. Slider sensitivity is higher
than with its normal movement. This allows you to fine-tune to small numeric values.
