, welcome back to another very exciting , tutorial here at the , photoshoptrainingchannel.com , my name is his Ramirez and you can , find me on Instagram jr from pct this , video is going to be a crash course on , blending mode sand you will also learn , how you can quickly narrow down your , search and find the right blending mode , for the result that you want if you will , like a deep dive into blending modes , then check out my W minute video the , lending modes explained where cover , each individual blending mode an dhow it , works there is a link to it right below , in the description okay let's get , started simply put a blending mode takes , the pixels of one layer and blends them , with the pixels of another layer to , create completely new effect generally , speaking without blending modes the only , real way of planning layers together is , by reducing the opacity or fill which , isolates't give you the result that , you are looking for layer blending modes , allow you to do so much more than reduce , opacity they allow you to blend layers , based on their dominance value color and , or saturation since Photo shop C's , released in W there have been W , layer blending modes which can be found , in an unlabeled drop-down in the layers , panel when working with blending modes , Photo shop blends the pixels by , performing a blend operation on each , pixel of the blend layer against his , corresponding pixel in the base layer , but simply the blend is applied to a , single pixel at atom to get the , resulting blend to make things easier to , understand or refer to pixels as colors , since the word color may help your mind , to read a more accurate representation , of what is happening but we're always , talking about pixels you should also , remember these three terms to understand , how blending modes work base blend and , result the base is the original color it , is usually found directly below the , blend color the blend is the , color that is being applied tithe base , color the mix of the base and the blend , is the result in other words base plus , blend equals result how the base and the , blend colors mix depend son the blending , mode that you select you do not need to , memorize each and every single blending , mode you can simply memorize the six , categories that the blending modes are , grouped into this will help you narrow , down your search when you are looking , for blending modes in the blending mode , drop-down you will notice the five the , visors that group the blending modes , into six categories normal darken , lighten contrast inversion and component , the first group of learning modes is the , normal group these blending modes , produce no change , you can only blend them with the layers , below by reducing the opacity normal is , the default blending mode for all layers , in reducing the opacity blends it with , the layer below the same is true for the , solve the other blending mode in the , normal category by reducing the opacity , you reveal the pixels below in a , diffusion the other pattern the next , group is darken the blending modes in , this group will make the resulting blend , darker notice it by selecting a multiply , the image gets progressively darker , where the center gradient is in the , white rectangle becomes invisible , the next group of blending mode sis , lighten these blending Modesto the , opposite of the darken category they , make the resulting blend brighter notice , that by selecting screen the image gets , progressively brighter where the center , gradient is and the black rectangle , becomes invisible screen is the opposite , of multiply the contrast blending modes , work by checking if the pixels are , either darker than W% gray or lighter , than W% gray if they are darker than , W% gray then a darkening blend mode is , applied conversely if the colors are , brighter than W% gray then a , brightening mode is applied , except for hard mix all the blending , modes in this category turn W% gray , transparent you can see the effect when , I select overlay notice that it both , darken sand brightens the image and the , W%gray box in the center becomes , transparent if you do not know what% , gray is you can double click on the , foreground color to bring up the color , picker and when you click and drag over , the colors you will notice this label , that shows a percentage that is the , percentage that I'm referring to so W% , gray will be here and every single color , that you select will of course have , brightness percentage the next group is , inversion these blending modes look for , variations between the base and blend , layers to create the blend the , difference blending mode is a good , example if i duplicate my background , layer and change the blending mode to , difference the image will turn black , that's because there is no difference , between the blend and base layers but if , I select the move tool and move the , layer you will see the difference in , pixels you could use this blending mode , to align layers with similar content as , you can see the resulting blend from the , blending modes in this category is , extreme and they're generally Nadia's , very often the final group is component , the blending modes in this group use , different combinations of the primary , color components hue saturation and , brightness to create the blend this , is a category of blending modes that , use a lot especially when working with , adjustment layers also think it'st he , easiest to understand for example if I , create a curves adjustment layer and , make an extreme adjustment you will see , that the image has more contrast and , more saturation but if Is elect , luminosity notice how I only affect the , dominance values in not saturation , could also select color in the color , changes but not the luminosity another , example would be to create black and , white adjustment layer which of course , makes everything black and white and you , can use the sliders in the properties , panel to control the dominance values of , the original colors to make better , black and white image but if I change , the blending mode to luminosity the , color comes back and I can use the , sliders to adjust the dominance each , color put simply when you select a , blending mode in this category it will , only affect that component and not the , others , so if you select color it will only , affect the color but not the , hue/saturation or luminosity to recap , blending modes look at both the blend , layer and base layer to come up with the , result the result is determined by the , blending mode that you select if you , need the result to be dark look for , blending modes in the darken category if , you need the result to be bright look , for blending modes in the lighting , category if you need bot ha dark and , bright result then look for blending , modes in the contrast category if you , would like to isolate primary color , component such as hue saturation or , luminosity then select the blending mode , from the component category of course , there is a lot more to learn if you are , interested in along er more , comprehensive video on blending modes , then check out my video blending modes , explained there's a link to it in the , description hope that you found this , video helpful let me know in the , comments what was the thing that you , liked the most about this tutorial if , you're new to photocopy training , Channel don't , get to click
