    Painting in overlay mode

    I got this from the Katrin Eismann Tone, Exposure & Color Correction video.

    Hold down the option/alt key and click on the 'new layer' icon. You'll get a little dialog box. Set the mode to 'overlay' and click the 'Fill with Overlay-Neutral Color' box that becomes visible. Click OK

    Now, if you paint on your new layer with black your image will darken, if you paint with white it will lighten. And your original remains intact.

        Using Photoshop 7.01, how do you stop the color from building up when you paint over the same area at less than 100% opacity.
        A lot of times the area I want to apply paint to is larger than what I can see on my screen, if I remove my pen from the tablet and then move the viewable area and continue...

        Whitening teeth in Photoshop
        by Patricia
        Here's an easy way to whiten teeth in Photoshop, no selections required:

        Make a new layer, set the blend mode to Overlay or Soft Light, and fill with 50% gray. (this can be done all at once by holding down the alt key in Windows, I think it's the Opt key on a Mac, while adding a new layer...

        3. Set the radius just high enough to conceal any wrinkles or blemishes. Click OK to apply the gaussian blur.

        TUTORIAL 08: .Find Edges + Blend mode = Overlay
        by DannyRaphael
        This method is so easy I don't know why I didn't think of posting it earlier. The results can be used as a basis on which to build or sometimes "as is" is just fine.

        Strange coloration problem
        by curtism
        Attached is a hi-res scan of a 50 year-old photo which was displayed behind glass for quite a while. I cropped the photo to avoid dealing with the fading and I ran Digital ROC and Neat Image to get to where I now am but haven't the slightest idea of the proper technique to get rid of the red splotches....
