FAQ

Why separate channels?+

(1) Boost specific channels for compositing/editing, (2) diagnose camera sensor issues, (3) learn how digital images work.

Why are channels grayscale?+

Each channel has only intensity (no hue), so it's grayscale. White = 100% of that color, black = 0%.

Which channel is brightest for red objects?+

The red channel β€” green and blue are dark. A way to visualize color physics.

How about CMYK or HSL?+

This tool only supports RGB. CMYK is for print and needs a separate tool.

Can I recombine separated channels?+

This tool only separates. Recombining needs Photoshop or GIMP's channel mixer.

Good way to learn photo theory?+

Looking at RGB channels separately makes light synthesis and digital color easier to grasp.
