Blend If is my absolute favorite way to blend any images in Photoshop. It is uniquely universal and provides dynamic masks built into each layer that will change and fluctuate as your image data changes and fluctuates. I feel Blend If is the best tool in Photoshop for blending images, but it does have its disadvantages:
- It isn’t easy to find if you don’t know where to look for it
- It’s not the most intuitive tool to use without direction
- It’s so hidden that most people forget to use it
- Its most powerful features (Blend If Color Channels) are rarely used
- It’s not easy to undo the changes made to the sliders
While all those downsides are undoubtedly prevalent, I have solved them in this new Blend If Course. I teamed up with Tonee Gee once again to create the first-ever Blend If Panel for Photoshop. It makes blending layers a breeze while making it equally accessible to the viewer.
Until now, I have only shown Blend If in various forms on YouTube videos. For years subscribers have asked me to make an all-inclusive Blend If Course, but I never felt quite ready to produce it. This course is finally ready and is a collection of all the ways I use Blend if in my workflow, and it gives you an incredible Blend If tool that you can use right now in Photoshop. I always say this is probably my best work yet, but this one truly is my best work! Enjoy!
