Click the arrow next to the channel box to select the channel from the drop-down menu.

The tone curves can be displayed with keyboard shortcuts. While holding the control key (Windows) or command key (Macintosh), press 0 (zero) to display the RGB channel, 1 to display the red channel, 2 to display the green channel, or 3 to display the blue channel.
