I am working on several b&w images. When I change them to RGB and use the channel mixer, I seem to get sharper and nicer tones. Since all the images are similar I save the channel mixer layer and load it to all the images. The problem I am having is then when I stop working, then continue the following day the tones change. The are all printing bluer today then yesterday. I've had this problem before. Can it be the printer? I'm using an Epson 2000P. Could be the ink cartridge. It says its around 50% full.

by MaroonI use Photoshop CS3, and though I spend a fair amount of time working with channels, I've always had trouble switching them around. I normally convert a channel into a layer before I begin working with it, just because I like the flexibility. I'm sometimes able to replace the old channel through Apply...02-18-2008, 05:28 AM

by CaitlinThis is one of 100s of slides I discovered belonging to my parents - that had been stored in a dank cupboard along with the potatoes and onions for the last 20+ years... (No - I'm really not kidding!) Not too surprisingly they are in a dreadful state.
I have only just started to look...03-27-2005, 11:29 AM
