Color grading using Curves, Levels and other RGB tools always felt quite counter-intuitive to me. That’s why I decided to create QHQ Channel Splitter – an After Effects script and Photoshop action for automatic splitting of the image/footage into discrete RGB or CMY channels. Channel Splitter can change the way you experiment with color correction as well as open a brand new way of color grading through changing the “inks” rather than the channel values.
Running time: 38min
Difficulty: Easy
Required tools: After Effects and/or Photoshop
German localization: Jonathan Baecker
Intro and Outro music: “Ghosts II” by Nine Inch Nails
