Using the RGB Mixer with “To monochrome” turned on gives you the ability to mix your own
custom blends of all three color channels to emphasize the creative characteristics you require.
For instance, increasing the mix of blue and decreasing red and green can give skin tones a darker,
metallic sheen. The following screenshots show multiple versions of the same image with different
monochrome mixes.
Like the parameters in Color mode, you can use the RGB Mixer’s “To monochrome” mode to subtract
one color channel from the others, for even more creative effects.
Two methods of resetting slider values in monochrome mode:
• Double-click any slider’s numeric value to reset that slider to 0.
• Right-click anywhere within the RGB Mixer tab and choose Reset from the menu to
set the sliders to their default 21, 71, 7 values.
