Why does the blue channel often look noisy?

Bayer-pattern camera sensors capture twice as many green photosites as red or blue, and JPEG compression treats chroma harshly. The blue channel is usually the noisiest as a result.

The alpha channel is dropped — output PNGs are fully opaque. If you need the alpha as its own grayscale image, run the input through a separate tool that exposes it.

Pulls each colour channel out of the source pixels independently. Isolate mode keeps each channel coloured (red channel shows only the red values, green channel only the green, etc.); Grayscale mode renders each channel as a 0–255 brightness map, which is what photo editors mean by "split channels".
