Depends on which tool is currently selected. Often the number keys represent a percentage (1 =10%, etc.). Using that combination will indeed change which channel you are looking at (turn on your channel menu and press those keys and you will see it change channels).

So I recently got a bunch of photos with all kinds of problems. I tore through the whole lot of ‘em with little to no problem. Then, I got to these two and have pretty much hit a brick wall. I have tried the technique for utilizing info from the better channel (the green), but honestly I have never...01-26-2006, 04:44 PM
