Batch Edit Channel Mixer options
The Channel Mixer in the Batch Edit wizard can change multiple images to create a rich grayscale. Because you can control the
brightness of the red, green, and blue channels, as well as the overall brightness, you can use the Channel Mixer to emphasize
different areas or aspects of a photo, as well as alter its mood and tone.
If you hover your cursor over each slider and watch the effect on the small preview below the controls, it shows you which parts of
the image will be affected by each channel. This helps to gauge the effect of each slider on the image.
To create a grayscale image:
In the Batch Edit wizard, select the Channel Mixer check box.
