Whether you want to apply a cinematic color grading or just simply want to enhance colors or do a quick color correction, Channel Mixer allows you to control not only how the overall channels interact, but also breaks it down further and lets you control the colors according to areas. All this, just by using a couple of sliders. It can be applied both in the form of an adjustment or an adjustment layer. In this tutorial, we will go in-depth into the how it works and how you can use this to either bring out the colors in your photos or manipulate them the way you like.
Hope this video helped you!

RGB is the opposite of CMY....... Nice...now I remember easily....thx

[@feriants]

Complicated stuff in simple words. Thank you. You are a very talented teacher.

[@judyreyjumamoy]

the beauty of a teacher teaching in their secondary language sorry for the bad english

[@asnifuashifj91274]

I have been looking for a good color grading tutorial in ages that explains the "why" and "what". I found it here. You're a master. Thank you so much! Subscribed!

[@linakatzmarcik7597]

I actually want to cry with gratitude for having found this channel. You are an incredible teacher!

[@kaizey]

I love how you get straight to the point, and with every video I'm learning something unexpected and new, even though I'm not new to Photoshop. Thank you!

[@PhreddCrintt]

I agree with Lev's comments. Thank you for clearing away 'the fog' and putting the concept over so well - and simply. You are very talented and I look forward to working more with your tutorials.

[@Yosser70]

I watch loads of editing videos and yours are head and shoulders above the others! You explain what the tools do rather than just use them to get an effect. Can't tell you how useful this is. Keep up the good work mate :)

[@Beeroxx1]

This is the 3rd video of yours that I'm watching. I've been using PS for quite some time (trying to get some form of understanding of it) , and I'm sure I've learned more about PS in your 3 videos than I've learned in all the time I've been using it!! I love how you explain what each function does and what it's for, it just makes it so much easier for us to actually understand what we're doing and the "why" behind it. Most videos just shows you "how to", but don't explain the actual buttons on PS and their functions. Great videos, love your personality and the gentle way you explain things! I'm a follower for live, henceforth!! Thank you and keep up the great work!

[@chikung]

You always explain what is the absolutely essential concept that must be understood in order to properly use the technique that you are teaching, rather than just explaining the technique. My understanding of Photoshop has grown exponentially since I started following your videos. You are doing an awesome job!

[@JulianGarrett]

I've looked up other videos for this adjustment layer and you explain it so well in detail and in a way anyone can understand. I can't say enough how much your tutorials help people understand some of what can be overwhelming. I watched phlearn tutorials for the longest time, but something about your videos stands out. Thank you Unmesh. Thank you for your dedication to making these tutorials.

[@You_Tech]

watched many tutorials on channel mixer before but this tutorial is the best ever where every detail and those confusing little things are explained very well. Thank you so much bro. 😊

[@babamotiakii9385]

Absolutely

[@ivanlupi5123]

I used to lose you in the middle of your videos, recently your explanations take it to the next level. You are the absolute best when it comes to understanding and applying creative tools in PS. Thank you.

[@karencernan414]

Just had to pause the video to say what an excellent teacher you are!

[@francescolucentestabile725]

Your videos are amazing! I started to use Photoshop 10 years ago, but nothing made me improve more that your explanations. You are great!

[@bvsdriver]

This channel is such a gem! I love your content. Your explanations are so concise and thorough. Bravo!

[@SamerDebs]

One of the best PS channels on youtube. Finally someone can explain how things really work.

[@mstrainjr]

Omg, I spent over an hour trying to find info that would help me out, and I finally found you. This video lays out exactly what I needed to know. I didn't understand what, for example, the green and blue sliders did under the red channel. Now, I can figure out my coloring a little better. Thank you so much!

[@jacobthomson9369]

This is the clearest explanation RGB I have yet to come across.Well done, sir.

[@MrYash210]

I was looking for a technical explanation of the working of channel mixer and here I got it perfectly! This was your best video. Thanks brother.

[@snkhan8608]

Best Photoshop teacher in the internet

[@user-ui6fm9xi1p]

You are the best teacher that I have ever seen in Utube or any textbook. I watched several videos, but they didn't give the information I have wanted for so long time. Thank you, young man. I subscribed to your channel, thank you so much.

[@bobdonnelly491]

Becoming my favourite channel for good tutorials in photoshop, great work.

[@godfatherjack]

Thank you for sharing Unmesh! Without a doubt, you are one of the best out there that can teach this stuff!

[@insightvideo6136]

Very well explained! Thank you! - without doubt one of the best Photoshop learning channels out there - if not the best!

[@sinhnhatvuive83]

it s complicated but if you try to remember the theories of opposite colors, u will get it right within 5 mins. awesome tutorial. now i know how to get the desired color in a specific area without having to sit 1 hour in front of the monitor being mad at pulling all the color bars left and right disorderly. thank u.

[@moslemseyedzade2868]

Oh. Man. You killed it. I really enjoyed watching this. I was always struggling with colors. And you solved my problem. Gave you a sub. 😎😍❤️

[@sureshlala101]

Genius at work! Amazing! Thank you Unmesh... great video, as usual!

[@RobotCatGizmo]

Watched many tutorials on channel mixer before but this tutorial is the best ever! THANK YOU!!

[@Cer049]

you honestly deserve as many subs as PHlearn

[@AnonymesAss]

Honey Badger he onestly deserves more, because he is able to explain complicated things in an so kind of easy way, and you will always understand it. and he didn't even study graphics design or something, it's just amazing how good an informational his Videos are, big thumbs up

[@Cer049]

and he goes every small details like how RGB representation is gray instead of red/blue/green on every video he features them in

[@digitalartist779]

MagicX, how you know he didn't studied graphic design?

[@michaelcus734]

As much as I love Phlearn, Piximperfect has a much better explanation. He deserves more than Phlearn

[@filetmignon9978]

and now he has more than them lol

[@MrMoonpie001]

I know you are a student, I don't see where you are selling anything. You should consider a Patron page or a Go Fund Me page. I don't mind kicking in a little cash to folks that help me out. It wouldn't be much to start but it would be nice to have some pocket cash for pizza or to upgrade equipment. Give it some thought, I got the feeling you are going to be around for a long time. Great work Moonpie

[@sidneymikellang5086]

MrMoonpie001 a sponsor button!

[@gpay6805]

It's the patron page!!!

[@jackiefreeman4809]

The best channel mixer explanation I've come across..thanks.

[@DWSTR]

Brilliant. Clear, simple vision expressed by a talented teacher. Now I understand and can use this tool comfortably. i stumbled into channel mixer and found it very useful for a detail in one of my product photos, but just didn't get how it worked so magically for me. Now, there's no experimenting to make use of its reliable benefit.

[@SachinFooty]

Brilliant detailed review! It's like a good teacher teaching you stuff personally. Kudos!

[@vraedum]

Finally a channel that made me understand Channel Mixer. Thanks.

[@danielevenanzi7975]

Outstanding explanation of a matter which is actually quite hard to wrap your head around. Thank you so much!

[@thscful]

You are incredible! So articulate and so well taught. Keep it up!

[@carolyn9996]

You are a great teacher...Thank you!

[@princechime8754]

[@Heiko_K]

Hello Unmesch -- I´ve seen very many of your very fine tutorials. I hadn´t seen this one yet until today -- thank you very much. I have finally UNDERSTOOD the channel mixer! take care, Heiko.

[@nadinagafoor692]

best channel mixer tutorial EVER, such clear explanations, thank you!

[@armsoftheocean]

Your tutorials are amazing, thank you so much!

[@andreiserban5044]

This is the best channel i found so far regarding photo editing. In my opinion, better then PHlearn. I like the way you explain the concept first, the working mechanism and only after this you dive in practcally. You even explain things more clearly as you work so I always understand why and how. You are very talented at what you do! Thank you!

[@olukz2529]

best explanation of channel mixer I've seen on KZbin, thanks!

[@ideshmaaerdene-ochir4247]

Never understood channels or channel mixer before UNTILL NOW -------------------> Kabooooommm brain exploding!! Thank you great video!

[@HamzaAsghar786]

Such a brilliant teacher. Explained everything with such great detail.

[@michaelcus734]

I learnt about channel mixer and learnt to create color looks such as orange teal with it. But i never learnt the concept and always wanted something different. But you just made it so easy, i can literally create any color look I want

[@andrewdejuan4914]

[@tendividedbysix4835]

Your explanation of channels here, with the 'filling glasses with a litre of red' analogy was really good dude, appreciated! I was so confused before about channels, and I know it's not a perfect analogy of course but it really helps give me a point of reference, something to draw some connection from. It's appreciated :) You da' boss.

[@MrSankho]
