Photoshop Foundations – Blend Modes

I have produced over 1800 videos on Photoshop and Photography and I can say that nearly every one of them has included a Blend Mode of some sort.  Now I think its time to put all of my blend mode knowledge into one comprehensive course.

The problem with Blend Modes is we find one maybe two or three that we like and we tend to stick to them and tell all the others to take a hike.  I implore you to rethink that decision.  While many educators will tell you to stick to Luminosity, Soft Light, Overlay and Screen, I am telling you that there is a treasure trove of color grading goodness in Vivid Light, Hard Mix, and dare I say it,  Difference!

If you are an absolute beginner to blend modes, have no fear.  This course was tailored for everyone.  It contains the perfect blend (see what I did there) of the how to use them with the why behind them.  No matter what skill level you find yourself in Photoshop I can guarantee you will learn something and walk away with at least one new found favorite blend mode to incorporate into your workflow.

What to Expect
Blend Modes are the heart and soul of editing in Photoshop.  Blend modes allow you to modify any layer with predetermined calculations.  These calculations provide incredible effects when you know what to expect when you use them.  Unfortunately, we find ourselves only using three or four of them, when all 27 are equally important to know.

Before & After Examples

The Vivid Light Blend Mode
When used “as is” the Vivid Light Blend Mode is a terrible choice.   However, when you know how to control it with Fill, the possibilities for Color Grading are endless.

In the After Image, the Fill was reduced to 15%.  I also used a bit of Blend If for the shadow areas, lowered the Opacity, and made a mask for her eyes.

The Hard Mix Blend Mode
Similar to Vivid Light, Hard Mix is a difficult Blend Mode to understand.  It will break your image down into an eight color display but looks terrible with any adjustment layer.  However, this blend mode will adjust its eight color calculation with the Fill Slider.

Here we reduced the Fill on a Blue Solid Color Overlay to exaggerate the blue of the door while subduing the yellows of the wall.

-The Vivid Light Blend Mode-

An Example of what you will learn in the Blend Mode Course.  Here we will take a deep dive into the Vivid Light Blend Mode which is a combination of the Color Burn and Color Dodge Blend Modes.  It is a phenomenal choice for color grading when used with the Fill Adjustment.
