Although this is a very old technique and this sample chapter online is 18 years old I wonder if interchannel color correcting with the Apply Image command on channels is obsolate or it's worthwhile going deeper into it anyway.
"Rather than working with Adjustment Layers, Chris does all his color correction through the Apply Image command. The Apply Image command allows you to mix varying amounts of different channels with each other with precise control"
I understand that the Fade command also provides a way to have blend modes on channels (copy/paste/fade). Yet, Apply Image has masks and add/subtract modes. Channels (RGB/CMYK) are in a way similar to plates in prepress so maybe those who started in the industry decades ago (half-tone etching?) are more familiar with this technique. I think interchannel color correction plus density masks are still powerfull tools.
Thanks
