I have a request from a user to adjust the blue channel from 1.00 to 1.13 as in Photoshop. I understand that the -level operator is to be used, but can someone explain to me the correct usage of that operator in this context. Unfortunately, my graphics understanding is limited. Thanks for any info anyone can provide to enlighten me on how to achieve the desired effect.

Even if I used Photoshop (which I don't), I'd need more information than that. Which PS operation is used? What PS measurement gives "1.00" or "1.13"?

try

From my limited understanding, Photoshop has a channel mixing interface that you can use to adjust individual channels. I am thinking that those numbers translate to a 13% increase of the blue channel in the image. Sorry, that's all I understand at the moment. I'll try to post more once I do some more research. I was hoping someone could give me a laymen's explanation on how to use the -level operator.

Yes, I think that is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for your effort and expertise!!!

It is the channel mixer in PS, where they use percent, so 113% which translates to multiply by 1.13. It has nothing to do with -level. For that see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/color_mods/#levels
