Advanced Blending Modes

The definitions used here are from the Photoshop help files, with a few bits of added explanation where I saw fit to add them.
The Blend Modes specified in the options bar control how pixels in two separate layers interact with and effect each other. It’s helpful to think in terms of the following colors when visualizing a blending mode’s effect:
  • The base color is the original color in the bottom layer.
  • The blend color is the color being applied by the upper layer.
  • The result color is the color resulting from the blend.

Blending modes affect the layer below them.
Remember that to get better results you can also adjust the opacity of the upper layer.
Use the following two files to experiment with the blending modes.


After utilizing the new techniques, students will use the studio to shoot a subject. The subject will be against a black background. Students will use studio lighting to obtain the proper effects. Once the subject is captured, students must incorporate the subject with their favorite band. This would be a simulation of a photo shoot\promotion for the band. Students must use blending modes within the project.
