The working principle of channel Channel
Multi Zone Mixer amplifier Select a certain channel in the images as the processing target (that is, the output channel), and then add and subtract according to this channel information and other channel information of the image to achieve the purpose of image adjustment. Note that the color information that is added or subtracted comes from the same image location in this channel or other channels. That is to say, the image color information of a certain channel in space can be calculated by the color information of this channel and other channels. Any channel of the source image can be the output channel. The source channel varies depending on the different image color mode. When the color mode is RGB, source channel is R, G, B. When the color mode is CMYK, source channel is C, M, Y, K. Channel mixer only works when the image color mode is RGB and CMYK. And channel mixer cannot be operated when the image color mode is LAB or other modes.
