Here's an example of in-image use of "Apply Image": You're printing a red and white design on a black garment. Create three channels named "spot red", "white", and "white base" - set the opacity on each to around 70%. Go back to RGB channels and select red parts of your image, select the spot red channel again and fill with black. Repeat for white portions - add them to the white channel. Now 'Image->Apply Image', select "spot red" as the source, "white base" as the target, and "Multiply" as the blending mode. Repeat the last step, but choose "white" as the source channel. Now you have combined "white" and "spot red" to form a white base that you can then choke down - and see the result on the screen before going to press by hiding the RGB channels. That's a pretty simple case - sometimes you want to subtract all of a channel that overlaps another (blending mode "Add", "Invert" checked), or selectively mix portions of channels. The idea is similar to the Channel Mixer dialog in GIMP - but the different blending modes makes it very powerful. Does that make sense?
