There may be some instances where you want to manually adjust your images
for certain effects or improvements. You can use the Channel Mixer adjust-
ment to convert a color image to black-and-white photo. Simply choose one
of the presets or create a tinted version by selecting, then deselecting, the
Monochrome option and adjusting the Output Channels to create a slight
tint or color cast. The Posterize adjustment enables you to apply levels of
a graphic posterization effect ranging from 2 (heavy) to 255 (none). See
Chapter 12, “Developing Photos,” for more information on adjusting images
in raw format.
