Creative Image-Making: Layered Color Effect Using Channels in Adobe Photoshop

Really nice experiments, Agata! Thanks a lot for sharing:) I particularly like your first one (magenta, blue and white), looks very light and stylish:) And the cover one is also really good, though I'm not too sure about the green gradient there, maybe use other channels to tweak this colour a bit? Other than that it's a really nice and bold visual treatment. Interesting stuff with the halftones, though I would suggest keeping them to a minimum (add them to only one channel) and then keeping them over, or shifting them away from the recognisable image. With the halftones you can also use gradients on the background (if you select the dots, and then invert your selection to work with the background). So still plenty of room for experimentation, if you're up for it;) —Evgeniya

So much fun playing around with channels. I especially like using gradients. The picture is just a random one from internet :D
