チャンネルダイアログはチャンネルを編集、 加工、 管理する主要なインターフェースです。 チャンネルには二重の使い道があります。 そのためダイアログも 2 つに区切られています。 上側には色のチャンネルがあり、 下側には選択マスクが置かれます。
Color channels apply to the image and not to a specific layer. Basically, three primary colors are necessary to render all the wide range of natural colors. As other digital software, GIMP uses Red, Green, and Blue as primary colors. The first and primary channels display the Red, Green, and Blue values of each pixel in your image.
Next to the channel name is a thumbnail displaying a grayscale representation of each channel, where white is 100% and black is 0% of the primary color. Alternatively, if your image is not a colored but a Grayscale image, there is only one primary channel called Gray. For an Indexed image with a fixed number of known colors there is also only one primary channel called Indexed.
Then there is an optional channel called Alpha. This channel displays transparency values of each pixel in your image (See Alpha Channel in Glossary). In front of this channel is a thumbnail displaying a grayscale representation of the transparency where white is opaque and visible, and black is transparent and invisible. If you create your image without transparency then the Alpha channel is not present, but you can add it from the Layers Dialog context menu. Also, if you have more than one layer in your image, GIMP automatically creates an Alpha channel.

右端の画像を赤・緑・青の 3 つの色チャンネルと透明度を表すアルファチャンネルに分解した様子です。 右端の画像では透過部分を灰色濃淡による市松模様で表現してあります。 いずれの色チャンネルでも白の部分はすべての色が出ているので白くなっており、 黒の部分は黒くなっています。 赤い帽子は赤チャンネルでは見えても他の色チャンネルでは全く見えません。 このことは仮に純緑や純青であっても同じで、 その色のチャンネルでは見えても他の色チャンネルでは見えなくなります。
「バッファー」ダイアログはドッキング可能です。 その扱い方については 「ダイアログとその合体」 の節をご覧ください。
呼び出し方はつぎのとおりです。
From the main menu through → → .
From the Tab menu in any dockable dialog by clicking on
and selecting
→ .
In the menu, there is a list of detached windows which exists only if at least one dialog remains open. In this case, you can raise the 「Channels」 dialog from the main menu: → .
The Channels Dialog consists of a list of color channels and the optional Alpha channel at the top; and below that a list of selection mask channels. A right-click in a channel list entry opens the channel context menu.
The color channels are always organized in the same order. They cannot be removed. You can only change their visibility and select or unselect them. By default, all of these channels are visible and selected.

The selected color channels appear highlighted in the dialog. If you click on a color channel in the list you toggle selection of the corresponding channel, meaning a selected channel will become unselected and vice versa. Unselecting one of the color channels red, blue, or green has severe consequences. For instance if you disable the blue channel, all pixels from now on added to the image will not have a blue component, and so a white pixel will have the yellow complementary color. |

The duplicate and selection commands documented below can also be used on the color channels. However, this only works when accessing the command from the right-click context menu, and only for one channel at a time. |
GIMP allows you to select multiple selection mask channels and perform actions on them. You can e.g. move them to a different location in the channels stack, and convert them to selections. Selecting multiple channels is done by using the mouse and Shift key, for adding a range of channels, or Ctrl key, for adding or removing the clicked channel.
Directly above the list of selection masks is the header bar. On the left you see the icons that identify the visibility and lock columns. In the middle a text label will tell you how many channels are currently selected if it is more than one.
一覧表上ではいずれのチャンネルにもその属性が表示されており、 その内容は レイヤーのプロパティ (属性) と非常によく似ています。
チャンネルの可視度
By default, all color channels are visible, and color mask channels are invisible. Clicking on the eye-symbol, or the empty space if the channel is not visible, will toggle the visibility of the channel. Shift-clicking on the icon causes all other channels to be hidden.
Channel lock attributes
Each selection mask channel has lock attributes. If one of its attributes is set, the respective lock icon will show up in front of the thumbnail.
When multiple attributes are set, a double lock icon will show here. Clicking in this column allows you to change these attributes.
すべてのピクセルを保護
This icon shows when 「lock pixels」 is enabled for the current channel. When this is enabled, the channel is locked for any action that changes pixels, meaning there will be no changes done to this channel.
Lock position and size
This icon shows when 「lock position and size」 is enabled for the current channel. When this is enabled, the channel is locked for any action that changes its position or size.
Lock visibility
This toggle button controls the 「Lock」 setting for the visibility of the channel. If this is enabled, the channel visibility cannot be changed until you disable the lock.
A small preview icon represents the effect of the channel. This preview can be enlarged by holding down the left mouse button on it.
The name of the channel, which must be unique within the image. Double-clicking on the name of a selection mask channel will allow you to edit it. The names of the primary channels (Red, Green, Blue, Alpha) can not be changed. Double-clicking on the preview icon will open a dialog where you can set all channel attributes.
The button bar at the bottom offers the following functionality:
チャンネルの追加...
This creates a new channel. A dialog will open where you can set the Channel name, the Color tag, the channel attributes and lock attributes, and finally the Opacity and color used for the mask in the image window. A click on the color button displays the GIMP color selector where you can change the mask color.
If you press the Shift key while clicking the button, the New Channel dialog will not be opened. Instead the new channel will be created with the same settings as used previously. This new channel is a selection mask applied over the image. See for more details Selection Mask.
Raise Channels
This moves the selected channels up in the list. Press the Shift key to move the selected channels to the top of the list.
Lower Channels
This moves selected channels down in the list. Press the Shift key to move the selected channels to the bottom of the list.
Duplicate Channels
This creates a copy of the selected channels. The name of the new channels is suffixed with a number.

You can also duplicate color channels or the Alpha channel. It's an easy way to keep a copy of them and to use them later as a selection in an image. Note that you can only duplicate one color channel at a time, and only using the right-click context menu. |
Replace the Selection with Selected Channels
This transforms the selected channels to become a selection. By default the selection derived from channels replaces the active selection. You can change this by using control keys.
Shift: the selection derived from a channel is added to the active selection. The final selection is merged from both.
Ctrl: the final selection is the subtraction of the selection derived from a channel from the active selection.
Shift+Ctrl: the final selection is the intersection of the selection derived from a channel with the active one. Only the selected parts common to both are kept.
Delete Channels
This deletes the selected channels.
You can get the Channels context menu by right clicking on a channel. Several of the operations on channels are also available through buttons at the bottom of the channels list. Those operations are documented there.
These commands, except Edit Channel Attributes…, also work when multiple channels are selected.
Only available for selection masks. Here you can change the Channel name, the Color tag, the channel attributes and lock attributes, and finally the Opacity and color used for the mask in the image window. A click on the color button displays the GIMP color selector where you can change the mask color.
Only available for selection masks. This allows you to assign a color tag to one or more selected channels. If you have a lot of channels this can make it easier to identify them by giving related channels the same color tag. To remove the color tag choose None.

Channels can be used to save and restore your selections. In the Channels dialog you can see a thumbnail representing the selection. Selection Masks are a graphical way to build selections into a gray level channel where white pixels are selected and black pixels are not selected. Therefore gray pixels are partially selected. You can think of them as feathering the selection, a smooth transition between selected and not selected. This is important to avoid the ugly pixelization effect when you fill the selection or when you erase its content after isolating a subject from background.
選択マスクを初期化するにはつぎのような方法があります。
From the main menu → if there is an active selection.
In the image window the bottom-left
button creates a
Quick Mask; the content
will be initialized with the active selection.
From the Channels dialog, when you click on the New channel button or from the context menu. When created, this Selection mask appears in the Channels dialog, named 「Selection maskcopy」 with a queuing number. You can change this by using the context menu that you get by right-clicking on the channel.
Once the channel is initialized, selected (highlighted in blue), visible
(eye-icon in the dialog), and displayed as you want (color and opacity
attributes), you can start to work with all the paint tools. The colors
used are important. If you paint with some color other than white, gray,
or black, the color Value (luminosity) will be used to define a gray
(medium, light, or dark). When your mask is painted, you can transform
it to a selection by clicking on the
button (Channel to
Selection) or from the
context menu.
選択マスクの加工に使えるのは描画ツールだけではありません。 たとえば一様にグラデーションやパターンで塗りつぶす領域を選択ツールで区切られます。 一覧表に選択マスクをたくさん並べ、 それらを組み合わせれば容易に複雑な選択範囲が描けます。 選択マスクの選択範囲に対する関係を画像に対するレイヤーになぞらえて言う人もいます。

選択マスクを活性化している間は、 画像でなくマスクを加工していることにご注意ください。 画像上で作業するには選択マスクをすべて不活性にする必要があります。 それから目のアイコンを消してマスクの表示を止めるのを忘れないでください。 もちろん RGB の各色チャンネルすべてを (もしあればアルファチャンネルも) 活性化して画像を表示させましょう。 |
A Quick Mask is a Selection Mask intended to be used temporarily to paint a selection. Temporarily means that, unlike a normal selection mask, it will be deleted from the channel list after its transformation to selection. The selection tools sometimes show their limits when they have to be used for doing complex drawing selection, as progressive. In this case, using the Quick Mask is a good idea which can give very good results.
The Quick Mask can be activated in different ways:
From the main menu: → .
By clicking the bottom-left
button highlighted in the screenshot.
キーボードショートカット Shift+Q
To initialize a Quick Mask,
click the bottom-left
button in the image window. If a selection was
active in your image, then its content appears unchanged while the
border is covered with a translucent red color. If no selection was
active then all the image is covered with a translucent red color.
Another click on the bottom-left button will deactivate the quick mask.
From the Channels dialog you can double click on the name or the
thumbnail to edit the QMask attributes. Then you
can change the Opacity and its filling color. At
every moment you can hide the mask by clicking on the eye icon
in front of the QMask.
マスクは灰色濃淡の階調で構成されているので、 マスクで塞がれた領域を減らすには白か灰色を、 増やすには黒を使わなくてはなりません。 濃淡のついた灰色で塗られている領域は選択範囲のぼかされた境界付近のような漸進変化をしています。 マスクができあがったら画像ウィンドウの左下のボタンを再びクリックすればチャンネルの一覧表からクイックマスクが消え、 その内容は選択範囲に変換されます。
クイックマスクの使用目的は選択マスクの管理に煩わされることなく選択範囲を描画ツールで描くこと、 しかも必要なら選択になだらかな強弱を加えることです。 このような手法は画像内にある物体を孤立させて取り出すのに使うと、 選択範囲はもうできあがっているのであとはその範囲内の画像を (もし欲しい物体が範囲内にあるときは反転してから) 削除すればよいだけになりますから便利です。
Screenshot of the image window with activated Quick Mask. As long as the Quick Mask is activated, all operations are done on it. A gradient from black (left) to white (right) has been applied to the mask.
The Quick Mask is now disabled. The selection occupies the right half part of the image (marching ants) because the limit of the selection is at the middle of the gradient.
選択範囲が活性化したままで描線を加えた。 不思議なことが起こった。 もう見えなくなったはずのグラデーションが、 選択範囲の枠内・枠外を問わず画像の全域にわたっていまだに残っている。
After the Quick Mask Button is pressed, the command generates a temporary 8-bit (0-255) channel, on which the progressive selection work is stored. If a selection is already present the mask is initialized with the content of the selection. Once Quick Mask has been activated, the image is covered by a red semi-transparent veil. This one represents the non-selected pixels. Any paint tool can be used to create the selection on the Quick Mask. They should use only grayscale color, conforming the channel properties, white enabling to define the future selected place. The selection will be displayed as soon as the Quick Mask will be toggled but its temporary channel will not be available anymore.
