    I am trying to do a colour channel swap in DPP Pro (infrared photography). Is this possible? If so, how is it done?

    i cannot locate the colour channels in the edit mode.

    Thanks.

    color wheel and tonal curve are under tool pallette but i am not sure on if you can do exactly what your looking for, DPP4 not something i really use in my workflow.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I have found the colour wheel and tonal curve, but if they can switch the red and blue channels I don't know how.

    In Photoshop, when processing the infrared photos, I take the red channel in the raw file and switch it 100% to the blue output, and do likewise with the blue to the Red. I can then process the shot.

    However, my tablet which I take into the field is not powerful enough to install Photoshop. I was hoping that I could use DPP Pro to do the basic edit of colour temperature (which it can) and colour channel swap (which I can't figure if it can) so I can check the photo in the field.
