Individual tonal curves for red, green, and blue channels enabling precise color control.

Definition

RGB Curves allow for separate manipulation of the red, green, and blue channels using contrast curves. More powerful than combined curves for precise color corrections.

Practical Application

Color cast correction through channel-wise adjustment. Cross-processing effects. Film emulation. Shadow tinting. Highlight color control.

Technical Details

Three separate curves instead of one combined one. Each channel from 0-100% input to 0-100% output. Bezier points for smooth transitions. Can also be YRGB (with a separate luminance channel).
