Blend Mode Magic

 “Was it Multiply? No. Was it Difference? No. Was it Color Dodge…?” Admit it – The layer blending modes in Photoshop are a big mystery, right? Unless you’re a geek, no one really knows what the heck these things actually do. If you are one of those designers that cycle through the different blend modes in the pop-up menu until the image looks the way you want it, then this session is for you. You’ll learn which blending modes you must memorize, and more importantly, how to incorporate them into your daily workflow in ways you’ve probably never thought of.

• Instant image correction
• Build up image density
• Painting with light
• Unsharp Mask on steroids
• Reveal hidden details in blown-out images
