Question or really confirmation about the icon channels. If I want the blue sky look I would use only channel 3, and blue sky look channels 4,5,6 only? Is that how it work’s?
 
Yes that is how it works. You can't make it more blue than that though.
 
I ended up using AI to help setup the intensity of each channel to achieve what I wanted to do. Turned out perfect.

Run a modified Helios during day then switch to actinic then deeper blue during viewing hours. AI also help me setup nice picture quality lighting settings, which makes a huge difference in the quality of my photos.
