Photoshop Histogram and Exposure by Jonathan Kingston

[Natznatzification]

Hey tell me please, how do you get this option on the right where you change the exposure etc.? I saw this lots of times in many tutorials, but couldn't find it... Help please!! :(

Newbie here,

For my 5D Mark II that I just bought I notice that it allows adjusting the Exposure Compensation for 4 colors (includes Magenta) which does not line up with the Red Green Blue (RGB). Not being an artist, how do these 4 color line up with the 3 RGB colors? The camera allows some compensation with the 4 colors but not sure how this correlates with the 3 RGB colors. Also, why Magenta and not something like Brown or Yellow?

Any help would be appreciated,

The Meltdownman

Thank you, great learning tool... something I have avoided somewhat in the past... kinda afraid it was too hard to learn but not once you get the hang of it...is much better now when I shoot!
