A comprehensive guide to what every blend mode does and how!
Ever wondered exactly what all those blend modes do?
Here’s a very detailed guide explaining exactly what goes on and what makes them different!
The interaction between your layers is important, the exact effect depends on what the blend mode selected does to “add” every pixel that is stacked ontop of or below another.
There is the hit and miss approach; to try them all and see what looks best; but knowing what you can acheive with each one will not only make the process faster, but you won’t be distracted by other posibilities taking you away from your original idea or concept.
Important to remember, is that the Opacity and Fill settings of the layer are also vital to the effectiveness of a blend mode, which could look awful at 100%, but perfect if lowered.
