I watched this tutorial on how to use blending modes in Photoshop. While I am pretty new to Photoshop, I have a grasp on the basics of Photoshop. I thought that this tutorial would help me learn a specific aspect of Photoshop to improve my photos.
First, the video defines what blending modes actually mean. The video states that “a blending mode takes pixels of one layer and blends them with pixels of another layer to create a completely new effect.” Then it talks about the benefits of using layer blending modes vs. simply using the opacity settings in Photoshop. Next, the video talks about the categories of blending modes: normal, darken, lighten, contrast, inversion, and component, and then goes into detail of how each category works in Photoshop.
