How to use ps layer blending mode

The opacity of a layer determines the degree to which it displays its own layer: if the layer with opacity of 1% looks almost transparent, while the layer with transparency of 100% looks completely opaque (make no mistake here). You can set the opacity of the layer by setting the transparency value in the Opacity option of the layer panel. 100% means full display.

2. In addition to setting the opacity of the layer, you can also specify the fill opacity of the layer. Filling opacity affects pixels drawn in a layer or shapes drawn on a layer, but it does not affect the opacity that has been applied to the layer effect. Fill it by entering a value in the Fill Opacity text box in the Layers panel. Using ps layer blending mode, you can create various special effects. Using mixed mode is very simple. Just select the layer to which you want to add the blending mode, and then find the desired effect in the Blending Mode menu of the Layers panel.

3. Layer blending mode

Blending modes can be used to create various special effects. It should be noted that there is no "clear" blending mode for layers, and Lab images cannot use fading, color darkening, darkening, brightening, difference, exclusion and other modes. Using blending mode is simple, just select a layer to add blending mode, and then find the desired effect in the blending mode menu of the layer panel.

4. The blending mode specified in the menu option bar can control the hue and brightness of pixels in the image. Before applying these modes, we should consider the following color application angles: primary colors are the primary colors in the image. Mixed colors are colors applied by painting or editing tools. The resulting color is the color obtained after mixing. Various blending mode options: normal, edit or draw each pixel to make it the result color.

5. Dissolve, edit or draw each pixel to make it the result color. However, according to the opacity of the pixel position, the generated color is randomly replaced with pixels of primary colors or mixed colors, and the effect comparison is shown in the figure.

6. Dimming: Check the color information in each channel, and choose the darker one of the primary color or the mixed color as the result color, in which the pixels brighter than the mixed color are replaced (such as the yellow Bigfoot image in this example, Figure 6), and the pixels darker than the mixed color remain unchanged.

7. Cover the positive film, check the color information in each channel and compound the base color with the mixed color to get a darker color. Any color mixed with black produces black, while mixing with white remains unchanged. When painting with non-black or white colors, the continuous strokes drawn by painting tools will produce gradually darkened colors, which is similar to the effect of painting with multiple magic markers on the image.

8. Deepen the color and check the color information in each channel. By increasing the contrast, the base color is darkened to reflect the mixed color (Figure 8), which remains unchanged after being mixed with black.

9, linear deepening, check the color information in each channel to reflect the mixed color by reducing the brightness and darkening the primary color. The effect of using linear deepening in the above example is similar to that in Figure 32. Brighten, check the color information in each channel, and choose the brighter color in the primary color or mixed color as the result color. Pixels darker than the mixed color are replaced, and pixels brighter than the mixed color remain unchanged.

10, color filter (screen), which checks the color information of each channel and mixes the complementary color of the mixed color with the primary color. The result is that the color is always bright, and the color is unchanged when filtered with black, and white will be produced when filtered with white. This effect is similar to multiple photo slides projected on top of each other.

1 1, the color fades, check the color information of each channel, and lighten the primary color to reflect the mixed color by reducing the contrast, but it will not change when mixed with black. Linear dimming, check the color information in each channel, and brighten the primary color to reflect the mixed color by increasing the brightness (the effect change is similar to that in Figure 35), but it will not change when mixed with black.

12, the overlay, composite or filter color depends on the base color. A pattern or color is superimposed on an existing pixel, while maintaining the contrast of the primary color without replacing the primary color, but the primary color is mixed with the mixed tone to reflect the brightness or darkness of the primary color.
