RGB(a, b, c) gives us a pixel. How do I input a pixel and extract the RGB components?

This might contain the information you need to tackle your problem.  
[https://github.com/JuliaGraphics/ColorTypes.jl](https://github.com/JuliaGraphics/ColorTypes.jl)

There are getters for the type, but you could also access the fields of the type directly.

`green(c::AbstractRGB ) = c.g`

Thank you. I think I found my answer:

using accessor functions:

```julia
julia> c = imgc[1,1]; (red(c), green(c), blue(c))
(0.7550899f0,0.9650581f0,0.65485954f0)

```
