Photoshop Blendmodes Explained
Here is the full list:
1. The Default blendmodes
- Normal
- Dissolve: it might be used to create skinpores or other patterns where small speckles are needed. Just set the opacity to a low value and you'll have fine speckly pattern.
2. The Darkening blendmodes
They all have in common that they all make your image darker. The result is either the same or darker than your Base layer. They are most effectively use when the base layer or background is white, these blendmodes will change the white to transparent and left the remainings visible:
- Darken
- Multiply
- Linear Burn
- Color Burn
3. The Brightening blendmodes
The 'Brightening' blendmodes all make your image lighter:
- Lighten
- Screen
- Linear Dodge
- Color Dodge
4. The Conditional blendmodes
- Overlay: Adds contrast and saturation
- Soft Light
- Hard Light
- Vivid Light : A stronger version of Overlay; Wojtek Starak: "use the Vivid blendmode in combination with a low density High Pass filter to sharpen your image."
- Linear Light : A much stronger version of Soft Light
- Pin Light: Darken and Lighten in one blendmode.
5. The Mathematical blendmodes
- Hard Mix
- Difference : Sandra Reiffi:"If you have two parts of a picture e.g. a panorama in two pieces and you want to place them that they fit use the difference mode. When they match perfectly the overlapping parts are black."
- Exclusion : Inverts the Base layer based on the blend layer. If the Blend layer is black the result is unchanged, if the Blend layer is white then the result is inverted.
