(simple) Channel Blending

[AncientSnapper]

Hi,

There was a question, on another Forum, about whether one could use Channels in Photoshop - the answer was dont bother, use Curves!

As this is completely wrong, I thought I would write up how to simply use Channel Blending.

If you have a moment, I'd like to know if you feel this write up is easy to understand - or any other comments.

Um, why could you NOT have done that with curves or levels? They're both really powerful tools.

What if I wanted to darken the light blues and brighten the dark reds? Curves to the rescue.

Excellent questions - not easy to answer in a few words, so I've described why at the bottom of the Blending Page on my web site.

Thank you
