walt.farrell Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 As you've mentioned Publisher: If you own Photo, you can use the Photo Persona in Publisher to get that function. Similarly, except when you need the Export Persona, you can use Publisher's Designer Persona, and switch to the Photo Persona when you need Channels. Thus, they're not exactly "in" Publisher & Designer, but only a click away Perhaps that helps?

walt.farrell Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Then they don't have it available. You've made a reasonable request; I was just pointing out that you have an alternative, while waiting for it to be satisfied.

NotMyFault Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) You can use a set of 4 adjustments (channels mixer, levels, or curves will do) and set them to show only one of the color channels, and output 0 for all others. Channels mixer is the most versatile, as it allows to map one selected channel into all color channels or K to get a greyscale preview. Edit: please find a file with those adjustment layers below. I’ve checked the effect in Photo and compared to what channels panel will show, seems identical. Activate only one of them at a time. The file contains a test image. Please do not use it elsewhere. cmyk channel panel.afdesign Edited May 7, 2022 by NotMyFault prod.astri, Old Bruce and Snapseed 3 Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | Windows 10 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.
