Requirements
You will need:
a) Verify that the background is white. To do this check under the color palette, which is on the right side. There are two overlapping boxes, one is white, the other black. Click the white box. You should verify that the colors to the right of the box are light. Now click the black box and verify that it darkens the colors significantly. Finally, click the white box again. You want the background to be light. Otherwise the images will come out reversed.
Clicking in the box with the word "Red" selects the red channel.
-For the cyane image, light parts of the photo, such as roads, will appear red when not lined up with the red image. This is because the red from the right image is showing from beneath the cyane image.
-Conversely, dark parts of the photo, such as shadows, will appear cyane when not lined up with the red image.
-Therefore, when lining the cyane image to the left the red image, the roads will appear red and be to the left.
-Dark parts of the photo will appear blue when moved to the left of the red image.
ii) Select pixels under units and rulers, which can be found in file/preferences.
iii) Check the spacing between the cyane and red image.
-Line up a man made structure such as a road or a field
-Using the draw rectangle tool, measure the distance between the cyane and red image by drawing a box between them. Remember: light images such as roads should will be red and to the left. Dark images such as shadows are blue to the left. If you get confused as to which should be left, line the cyane image up with the red image then move the cyane slightly to the left, this is the correct placement of cyane.
iv) Click under the information palette on the upper right of the screen. This will tell you the size of the area selected. You are shooting for a separation distance between the red and cyane images of about 12 pixels at the lower elevations.
v) You can move the cyane image very precisely by selecting Filter/Offset.
vi) It is very important that you line up both images equally in the
horizontal direction. There should be not vertical offset.
To rotate individual channel
