If you click on the "RGB" icon, it will drop down with the red, green, and blue channels to choose.Ĭlick on the "red" channel first. Next you are going to make adjustments to the separate color channels in the levels adjustment panel. If you don't see it, go to the "windows" menu at the top menu bar and select it in the drop down menu. You should also see the levels adjustment panel appear up above in your panels. Select the one called levels, and Photoshop will automatically place a levels adjustment layer just above the layer you have currently highlighted (in our case, it will be placed on the top of the layer stack.)

This will bring up a series of adjustment choices for you to use. However, we are going to choose to make a levels adjustment on its own layer by selecting the levels adjustment tool just down below by selecting the half white/half black icon on the bottom of the panel. You can see that the layer of the image is highlighted in blue, which means anything we do will actually be done to that layer. So let's make a levels adjustment layer to sit on its own on the top of the layer stack so it will affect the layers below it.

Our ideal process should be non-destructive, meaning we want to be able to change the things we do in case we don't like the changes and keep the original image in tact.
