Channels

To shape an image, PixBuilder Studio uses four channels (RGBA). Each channel is a grayscale image containing information about the color component for which this channel is responsible. The resulting RGBA image consists of Red, Green, and Blue channels and an Additional channel containing information about the level of transparency.

To see how the channels work, you may open a chromatic image and select one of the channels on the Channels Panel. As a result, you will see only the image component produced by the channel you selected.
