  • Blending modes well explained

    Hi guys, I just got registered here a few days ago, but I'm still reading you much more time.

    I'm looking for a guide with large explanations of how does blending modes work, to understand what I'm really doing when I'm working with them. I know there's a lot information out there, but what I found are or high level math related or too basic with a few examples (but does not explaining what really do at all).

    So I'm asking here hoping to find out something in between middle

    Thank you in advance, any information (and also both high-level maths and basics) sure will be helpful.

    Our show with Scott Valentine on blend modes was well-received, and even ended up getting Scott a book deal

      Thanks Doug for your response. Scott's book seems to be what I'm actually looking for.

      Anyway, if someone have additional information, please feel free to share it here.

        Blending Modes

        I know I've seen it somewhere, maybe even here. But I'm trying to find a list of what the layer blending modes do and how they react to other layers. Preferably in simple short sentences so I can understand.

        Thanks,
        E.B.

        Hello everyone,

        Does anybody know where I can find an outline for what the different blending modes actually do to a picture? I can see by messing about with them how they effect the picture but don't understand what it is actually doing.

        Trying Various Blending Modes
        by dgangloff
        I found out that if you want to see the what the various blending modes will do, you can toggle though them quickly if you highlight normal and use the middle scroll on your mouse.

        PS cs *custom* blend modes?
        by hizaam
        Forgive me if I'm not using the correct term, blend modes. {normal, hard light, luminosity,etc}

        Is there a way to create one's own PS layer blend modes? So one could have the other nifty blend modes featured in Corel PhotoPaint or those from waaay back in Kai's Power Tools v2?

        Because this is my first post on this forum, let me start with a small introduction. I'm Willem-Aart, 24 years old, living in The Netherlands and somewhat obsessed by automotive photography.

        During the 3-4 years I've been photographing cars, I've learned a lot about photography and retouching....
