Colour Curves
So far all the adjustments we have made using 'curves' have been carried out using RGB. Look at the 'Channel' box at the top of the 'Curves' dialogue box - it shows 'RGB'.
We can alter the Channel to show and thus modify the individual Red, Green and Blue Channels. Let's examine this option.
To swap to the Red, Green or Blue 'Channel', click on the drop-down arrow to the right of the Channels window and choose the colour.

Above: The effect of 'boosting' the Red Curve
 
Above: The effect of reducing the Green Curve - this introduces Magenta (Magenta is the complementary colour to Green, so less green gives more magenta).
