![]() ![]() How Do You Work With the Channel Mixer?Īs I’ve said, working with the channel mixer isn’t too difficult and while its greatest use has always probably been for converting to black and white, it does offer an easy way to make creative color adjustments to your images. While using the Channel Mixer remains a viable way to convert photos to mono, it has been rather superseded by the Black and White tool that offers greater flexibility for conversions, plus a wider range of preset options too. These presets are designed to mimic the effect of using colored filters with black and white film. If you click on this, you’ll see a selection of options for converting your image to black and white. Once the Channel Mixer palette is open, the first thing that you’ll notice at the top is the drop down menu that will initially be set to Default. Otherwise, you can go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Channel Mixer. If the Adjustments palette is open, then you just need to click the icon at the right hand side of the middle row of icons, represented by three overlapping circles. This tool is pretty straightforward and easy to understand and in this article I’ll run through the various options that are available when using the Channel Mixer. The Channel Mixer adjustment layer in Photoshop can be used to apply creative color effects to your images, convert them to black and white, and add color tints to mono images.

Since you have the HF G20, which is not one of the cameras above, the software that came with it will probably not work with my HFS10, as seems to be the case.This article is part of our series Photo Editing 101 by Ian Pullen. Only the discs packaged with these cameras will work interchangeably - nothing else. ![]() From what I could research on Pixela's website, the group of cameras that work with the specific version of Pixela software I need are the HF S10, HF S11, HF S100, HF20, HF21, and HF200. I suspect that Pixela tweaked their programs to suit each group of Canon camcorder models, so that something in the HFS10's ROM triggered the specific Pixela software on the PC to start-up and begin stitching and transferring files. ![]() And, when I manually start the Pixela program you sent, it crashes. ![]() I have the program you sent now loaded and authenticated on my PC, but it doesn't automatically crank up once the Vixia is attached and switched to transfer mode. When I had the original disc installed in my previous laptop (which has crashed and is now replaced, hence the need for the original software), every time my HFS10 was connected to the PC and switched to transfer mode, the Pixela software on the PC automatically detected this, and put the PC into transfer mode, whereby the split files on the HFS10 would be stitched back together and transferred to the PC. ![]()
