The intensity of the tones in the blended layer determines the degree of color change: Color BurnĮnhances the contrast by applying the colors of the blended layer and base. If it uses shades (colors mixed with black), most of the colors from the layer below are obscured. NOTE: If the top selected layer uses tints (colors mixed with white), more of the colors from the layer will show through. It produces a similar effect to combining one or more photographic transparencies together and looking through them. Each pixel on the layer is darkened by a value equal to or greater than the value of pixels on other layers occupying the same location in the layer stack.
Produces an overall darkening effect to the layer appearance. Takes two layers (the blended layer and the base), compares their pixels, and displays the darker of the two. The layer appears exactly as it was created. Removes any color correction applied to the layer. In the example of Normal, the result would be a gold filled layer. The image you will see is the result of the blend. Change the order and experiment with the settings to achieve the result you want.įor the below examples of blend modes, the top layer is the gold filled layer. When layers are combined, the results can vary. Apply them and experiment without the fear of permanently altering your composition. NOTE: Blend Modes are located in slightly different places, depending on the version you're using.Ĭreate complex multi-layered textures.
For layer blending, use blend modes to determine how layers are combined.
