I saw a tutorial for 4C to BW color conversion that features an RGB symbol that changes as the photo is edited. How do I make this window appear in PS? (See image upper left) Thanks.

You can make one.
Start with a black background. Create a new layer. Draw a circle and fill with 255 Red, repeat and fill with 255 Green, and again with 255 Blue. Set the three layers blend mode to Screen. Move the circles to intersect as in your example.

Hmmm. Not sure if that's quite it. This was in a tutorial. Whevever the photo itself was edited the RGB paletted changed too. See: <

The three discs on the black background are an integral part of the file in that tutorial. Look at the layers palette, they're on the background, which is the ONLY layer.

Right. I should have added flatten the image. then drag onto your background image (should work the same as in his tutorial if it the layer directly above the background image)

And why shouldn't it?
It is comprised of pixels just like the picture and reacts to the adjustment layers accordingly.
No special "RGB symbol" here.

Okay. I'll give it a try. I'm probably a little dense today. Thanks for replying.

??? Why? The author of the tutorial just put it there for educational purposes, for the benefit of the folks watching the QT video. He just wanted to show what his manipulations were doing to his images.
Why would you want to end up with the image of the three discs as part of your final image file?
