98
99<dd> &lt;=&gt;     exchange two channels (e.g. red&lt;=&gt;blue) =&gt;      copy one channel to another channel (e.g. red=&gt;green) =       assign a constant value to a channel (e.g. red=50) ,       write new image channels in the specified order (e.g. red, green) |       add a new output image for the next set of channel operations ;       move to the next input image for the source of channel data </dd>
