Using Compound HSV Arithmetic

Use Compound HSV Arithmetic to apply specific mathematical operations to the separate Hue, Saturation, and Value channels of your layer using another layer as a source. Each channel has a separate Operator, Layer, and Input Channel list.

To apply a Compound HSV Arithmetic filter:

1. Select the layer.
2. Choose Operators | Channel | Compound HSV Arithmetic.

The Compound HSV Arithmetic Controls panel appears.

The Compound HSV Arithmetic Controls panel includes the following elements.

Operator

Specifies which mathematical operation is applied. For a complete list of options, see Operator List Options.

Operators are available for Hue, Saturation, and Value.

Layer

Specifies the layer to be used as the source for the mathematical operations. To remove a layer, click the appropriate Layer button, and then click the None button in the Operator Picker dialog.

Layers controls are available for Hue, Saturation, and Value.

Input Channel

Specifies which channel of the source layer is used. Available channels include: Luminance, Red, Green, Blue, Alpha, Hue, Saturation, and Value.

Blend

Specifies the percentage amount for which the channel effect is visible over the original layer. Values below 100% allow you to see the original layer.
