Layered Color Effects Through Channel Manipulation

RGB and CMYK channels in Photoshop hold design possibilities most users overlook. This class teaches you to manipulate color channels to create striking layered effects that transform ordinary images into dynamic designs. The technique applies equally to posters, illustrations, photography, and print work—anywhere you want to add visual depth and energy. You'll explore how color models work, use channel isolation strategically, and apply retro pop-art and techno aesthetics through filters like Color Halftone. The practical demonstrations suit any skill level and any Photoshop version.
