If you want to split an image into color channels/components, click the Split tab. Depending on the Function you choose for the splitting process, the options above the Split tab will look differently.

Input
 
Displays the input image frame number. If you want to split another image into color channels, type or select the desired value.  

Function
 
Use this drop-down list to choose the RGB, HLS or YIQ model, or the Complex image type for splitting the input image into channels/components. Note that if you perform the split operation on an RGB24 or RGB48 image using the RGB, HLS or YIQ models, as a result you will get three 8-bit or 16-bit grayscale components respectively; if the input image is of any other type, ImageWarp will convert it into an RGB24 image prior to performing the split operation (see here for more details on image types).  
 
If you choose the RGB model, the Red, Green and Blue boxes will appear, each of them displaying the number of the frame into which the red, green and blue channels will be placed respectively. By default, ImageWarp sets them to the first available values. Type or select another value if you want any of the channels to be placed into a different frame.  
 
If you choose the HLS model, the Hue, Satur and Lumin boxes will appear, each of them displaying the number of the frame into which the hue, saturation and luminance channels will be placed respectively. By default, ImageWarp sets them to the first available values. Type or select another value if you want any of the channels to be placed into a different frame.  
 
If you choose the YIQ model, the Y, I and Q boxes will appear, each of them displaying the number of the frame into which the luminance, I-chromaticity and Q-chromaticity components will be placed respectively. By default, ImageWarp sets them to the first available values. Type or select another value if you want any of the components to be placed into a different frame.  
 
If you choose the Lab model, the L*, a* and b* boxes will appear, each of them displaying the number of the frame into which the lightness, red/green chromaticity and green/blue chromaticity components will be placed respectively. By default, ImageWarp sets them to the first available values. Type or select another value if you want any of the components to be placed into a different frame.  
 
If you choose the Complex image type, the Output1 and Output2 boxes will appear, each of them displaying the number of the frame into which the first and the second 32-bit floating point components of a 64-bit floating point complex grayscale image will be placed respectively. Depending on the mode in which the complex image is displayed, it will be split to either the Cartesian components (Re and Im) or Polar components (Amplitude and Phase). Note that, since the input image is of a Complex type, the Output1 and Output2 images will always be floating point ones; if the input image is not a complex one, ImageWarp will convert it into a complex image prior to performing the split operation (see here for more details on image types).  

Preview
