 <p>ChannelFxImage() applies a channel expression to the specified image.  The expression consists of one or more channels, either mnemonic or numeric (e.g. red, 1), separated by actions as follows:</p>

 <dd>
 </dd>

 <dd> &lt;=&gt;     exchange two channels (e.g. red&lt;=&gt;blue) =&gt;      copy one channel to another channel (e.g. red=&gt;green) =       assign a constant value to a channel (e.g. red=50) ,       write new image channels in the specified order (e.g. red, green) |       add a new output image for the next set of channel operations ;       move to the next input image for the source of channel data </dd>

 <dd> For example, to create 3 grayscale images from the red, green, and blue channels of an image, use: </dd>

 <pre class="text">
     -channel-fx "red; green; blue"
 </pre>

 <p>A channel without an operation symbol implies separate (i.e, semicolon). </dd>

 <p>CombineImages() combines one or more images into a single image.  The grayscale value of the pixels of each image in the sequence is assigned in order to the specified channels of the combined image.   The typical ordering would be image 1 =&gt; Red, 2 =&gt; Green, 3 =&gt; Blue, etc.</p>
