[@ngodinhhoang]

Thank you!

[@sandykreit1752]

Terrific video!

[@psteelman4448]

My favoreite is multiply for accenting text and for overlay when working with high pass filter. Thank you for the wonderful tips.

[@kenpics]

Another great tutorial. Short and too the point without waffling on just to make the video longer. 10 minutes works well with my lifestyle as I like to view your channel in the short breaks i get while at work.

[@matrishva]

Thank you ....great learning..... I never used colour mode..... Learnt something new.

[@davidarcherimages]

Very clear explanation! This is a very valuable tutorial.

[@Jude2408]

Going to have to watch this several times.

[@shetevounitedways6896]

thank you dear

[@stephencampbell7395]

My favorite blend mode is Linear Light. I like the brief explanation you gave of the groups. Makes it handy for future use. Thank you!

[@gurkamalsingh698]

Finally got the right tutorial 😁

[@billyperk]

Awesome, awesome!!!!!!

[@vkseb9443]

Thanks! Another informative tutorial!

[@tlunde53]

Very useful tutorial. Thanks!

[@vkmccable]

Excellent, I will use this tutorial as reference for sure. No favorite blending mode. Play with them all without much thought given. Now I will know what their purpose is.Thank You!

[@Carolinakid1984]

Luminosity and Soft Light are my favorites for sure. Once again very informative video

[@susanwilson6409]

I did not know about difference mode. Thank you for the great tips

[@mbrashid1954]

Mr, Colin Smith, but I'm very impressed with your video. I really like your videos. I just watched the video on your channel today. Nice tutorial. My favorite blending modes are overly and multiply because these help me a lot in hiding unnecessary things.

[@justjoie2]

Wow...great tutorial on Blend Modes...I learned so much! My favorite is the Color blend mode. Cannot wait to try this one!

[@melissam731]

This tutorial was very helpful. I don't always use all the blend modes and forget what some of them do. Thanks so much!

[@rajeshasthana5165]

great , my favorite is color and multiply . thanks

[@fleetwoodmac2272]

i love your tutorial

[@DanialShah3]

Sir can we save blending options apply on multiple layers as an individual style?

[@lyndar.4833]

Wow! So, I've used almost all of these blending techniques but had no idea "what they were doing officially" - lol - I think right now my current fav has been "Difference" - as I design clothes for an on-line game and some patterns are just kinda dull, and then I will put a Difference layer on them and it's like "oooohhhhh that's dashingly different!!" Thanks for the great tut's - I'm still rather new here. I've been working with PS (this time) about 4 years - and I've already learned sooooooo much! thanks for the great tuts!!!

[@photoshopcafe]

Im glad it's useful. Of course, the important thing is, if the blend mode looks good to you, it is good :)

[@wmutoob]

Although I've reviewed Blending Mode information before, your practical presentation style always makes the information easier to understand and remember - thanks!

[@imrankhurshid8606]

we can also change any color of butterfly by using normal mode also. what is the purpose of selecting "color blending mode" here?

[@CathyCusterDonohoue]

I had no idea it worked like that. I used them to do twirls. Thank you so very much.

[@michaeljohnson9717]

Some time ago I asked you about wrapping text round a graphic and you said it could not be done. Now with blending modes I can do some thing similar, Great! I had not really used blending modes so another really useful tutorial, thank you.

[@photoshopcafe]

Are you sure it was me? "Can't be done" Isn't something I usually say.

[@michaeljohnson9717]

@@photoshopcafe I wanted to wrap text round a graphic as I used to do in Pagemaker and you said, in as many words, that it could not be done in Photoshop.

[@trevorpsy]

My favorite blending mode when using High Pass is Vivid Light. Whenever Overlay is an option, try the other options, such as Soft Light and Hard Light. Typically, I get the best result with Vivid Light, which adds a pleasing increase in contrast.

[@celinemorisset5533]

My top one is colour although they are all so cool. Thanks!

[@Arbaazffyt]

Thanks sir

[@salomedesilva1551]

Hello Colin, in this video clip I like to use the 5th blend mode but I find the color I choose paints everywhere. I am a beginner at Photoshop not sure how I can achieve the result by following this tutorial. Can you please tell me how. Thanks

[@photonsonpixels]

Really nice Colin! Thank you.

[@nozaninr9931]

WOW! i have no idea what to say! it seems like you are a magician in every your video! thanks for your hardworking:)

[@TraciBrennan]

Great review, Colin! I use all of these in my work.

[@sherrykalczynski8996]

I am learning so much from you, thank you for being there.

[@arunbalakrishnan8978]

great video. I encourage you to make more such videos that no one did previously.

[@rodshelley1170]

OK - these are great.... It never occurred to me to use that 'difference' mode to align things. I love it! And I'm soooo using that color mode. And overlay for dodging and burning.. Those are great! I've used multiply and screen a lot, but still learned a couple new tricks. Great stuff as always, Colin! 👍😁

[@rj934]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, that will make life so much easier.

[@dazzywhite2534]

I love the colour changing one! Thanks so much Colin. I am learning so much from you.

[@karunnaidu5060]

Nice tutorial

[@annettecrook1185]

The link to the Blending modes ebook doesn't work. Could you update it, please? Love the Colour BM!

[@JaRuggierojr]

When I is used curves, I changed the blend mode to luminosity. This way the color is not affected. When I used textures, I used Hard Mix and the fill slider to change the effect.

[@coajayi]

Thanks

[@naterosser5760]

Awesome content, color blend opens up greater possibilities for next level creativity,thanks

[@BURTBROWN]

I didn't know the COLORblending mode.... Could become very useful!!!!!! Many thanks!!!! BTW I use screen mode a lot but I use it by duplicating a too dark image then applying screen to the top duplicate. Adjusting the percentage of the upper layer often helps get that too dark layer much closer to a background layer I want to apply it to. Then a little touch up work for perfect matching.

[@dunnymonster]

I love blending modes. I regularly use screen mode and colour dodge for composites and luminosity mode where I am applying curves adjustments where I don't want the colour to be affected. I often use Overlay and Soft light too. Blend modes are an absolute must learn aspect of Photoshop. 😉

[@ericgofreed1651]

Thanks for another great video. I use overlay dodge and burn on my wildlife photos. The color blending mode is new to me.

[@franciscojansen315]

Absolutely stunning. Thank you.

[@GinaFaria]

Just discovered your channel, you are a wonderful teacher. Thank you for these videos i am learning so much! Just subscribed !!

[@photoshopcafe]

Thanks

[@yankeeboys2009]

thanks for a wondeful trick...

[@glenmurray2366]

Awesome video and simply and clearly explained, just what I needed and has opened up a whole new world for me. Overlay is my favorite for dodge & burn

[@izakniemann5734]

Great! Thanks for this video. I have a Q: How can I blend an image over a face but let it look natural keeping the shades, lines, contour, etc as if it was painted directly over the face? Do you have a tutorial about that?

[@photoshopcafe]

Try different blending modes

[@photoguyphotography]

This was great! A couple of these I was made aware of a long time ago, but they were never explained in detail like you explained them! The remaining three were I knew nothing of, but know I do! It's hard to choose, but if I must, the color blending mode would be my fav! Thanks much Colin!

[@jean-marieglorieux8757]

My favorite is color mode to change color. The other ones are also usefull, thanks

[@kevincase5947]

Thank you for this can just ask does colour not effect black or white?

[@photoshopcafe]

Correct. and Luminosity doesn't affect color

[@billmcdonald4335]

Another use for Overlay mode is when you run a High Pass filter on a layer copy. Sharpens without adding the crispies. If grain shows up, a Remove Noise filter deals with it nicely. Add a Layer Mask and you can paint out the areas you don't want affected.

[@abidhafeez2999]

Hi! Nice tutorial. My favourite blending modes are overly and multiply because these help me a lot in hiding the unnecessary things.

[@sudhakarperugu1824]

you grate video, Requesting you to please do one video for us 'smudge tool painting '

[@ncraspa]

E-book not available for download?

[@photoshopcafe]

It should work. Please contact us at photoshopcafe.com Click on support

[@pesthlm]

Being able to mix is ​​the most important thing, in everything principle. I work with interior pictures daily and use very often the blending-mode "Difference" when I put parts of different pictures (or exposures) together; to be able to align correctly. I have often wondered why I have not seen any of this among the KZbin channels before. Now I have seen it in photoshopCAFE :-)

[@dennisbeers]

I'm the first for a change! Thank you for your video, I love learning about Photoshop!

[@trwhitford65]

I use Luminosity quite a bit.

[@christaijiqian2197]

May I ask why my colour blending mode couldn't work well, the colour applied is so light and cannot cover my original photo, anyone could help me?

[@JFW5358]

I use luminosity blending mode quite a lot.

[@Hari-Photo-Videos]

Screen and overlay I always use.

[@mahadevappamahadevappa5069]

MULTIFY IS MY FAVORATE

[@bobm2410]

Kind of a tie between overlay (for dodge/burn) and screen for compositing JPGs where transparent background is actually white

[@NMND.]

To cycle through, I always just clicked the layer, then the blending modes and then used the scroll wheel. :D

[@pesthlm]

... yes it applies to most controls in photoshop, very good!

[@nburagohain1]

Luminosity

[@francoismathieu1504]

My favorite is Overlay and... Color.

[@barryjhk]

My favorite is Overlay; I do lots of dodging & burning.

[@kensisplayclub]

the color isn't working for me :(

[@BalvinderSingh-wb2zg]

[@apfelninja]

That looks like Zack Wyld's guitar from the early 2000's

[@travishogan5225]

How about WOW, and Thanks!

[@visualkapture4465]

In CS6 you just use the up and down arrows to cycle thru. You don't need SHIFT.

[@photoshopcafe]

If you select the blending mode first. If you use Shift, you don't have to click on the blending modes.

[@billk6512]

❤💥🔥

[@bonitadsouza4805]

I love you teaching on blending modes. Hope i get a.job amd earn. YOU ARE A TRUE INSPIRATIONAL AND MOTIVATIONAL TEACHER.MAY JESUS AND MOTHER MARY BLESS YOU ALWAYS IN ABUNDANCE

[@abdulhafeezanjum2391]
