Image edit prompt“Apply a channel mixer to this image: swap the red and blue channels and blend a little green into red, so skies turn orange, foliage turns pink-white like faux infrared and skin shifts toward teal, while overall brightness and contrast stay similar. Keep the original subject and composition recognizable.”
