Ability to process individual color channels with unique Lucis parameter settings

Lucis processing only effects the intensity information in an image.  To process a color image, Lucis converts the RGB (Red Green Blue) information to HSL (Hue Saturation Luminance).  Lucis processes the Luminance information, and then combines the new Luminance (L') with the unaltered Hue and Saturation.  The HSL' information is converted to RGB.  Color images will experience color shifts as Lucis extracts the image detail. 

Lucis 4.2.1 processes color images as single luminance channel images.

Lucis Pro 5.0 allows the user to process each RGB channel separately with differing Lucis processing parameters, so the details in each color can be seen as clearly as possible. This is essential for applications like Fluorescence Microscopy.
