    Why do my channels look like this?

    thersher Community Member

      When I read tutorials on masking with alpha channels, what I see on my computer doesn't seem to match what's in the tutorial. For example, If I go to the channels panel and click on the blue channel, this is what I see: (btw, visibility is turned off on all other channels)

      The tutorials show this:

      I'm having a hard time determining which channel to use to get the best contrast, because I can't actually see it. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong please? I'm using CS4. Thank you!
