Hi everyone.

I’m working on a RGB file and I accidentally hit ‘Ctrl 3’ which brought up the blue channel – I really liked the image in that channel and I was wondering if it was possible to print it – as it’s black and white it looks quite moody and interesting…..

….any ideas,

Chris

chris,

Copy/paste with only one channel active and that channel returns to a new layer as an RGB monochrome…only thing to remember is to reactivate RGB before pasting.

You’re welcome. I discovered this by accident too, somewhat similar to yours, only I managed to bungle some more keys…

Learning by accident is way underrated B-)
