How to Use Blend If Sliders in Photoshop

[@StopDownGallery]

Once again you prove why you're the best Photoshop trainer on KZbin. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@cgcowboy]

This is EXACTLY what I needed to fully understand Blend If. THANK YOU!

[@aux_anges]

This is immensely useful. When using Blend If in other tutorials, you tend to say, "I'm telling this layer not to be visible where the underlying layer is darker," which is confusing since the logical interpretation is "where the underlying layer is darker than this layer." Now, if "darker" actually means "dark," it makes perfect sense. Long story short, yet another thank you :).

[@karlwilson2108]

I do not know if anyone else explains this any better, I'll never know because I fully understand it from you. You are the best.

[@robinlloyd2040]

The Best Photoshop tutorial clip in the history of the Internet!

[@kylehess6671]

This is the first and only video that helps me understand Blend If without making it sound so confusing. THANK YOU!!

[@BlackBettyES]

It's funny how whenever I watch your videos I learn more in 15 minutes than I did in few years xD thank you, I really love these tutorials :D

[@WicksClicks]

I appreciate the RGB and Black & White layer to show what is really going on. That made it much clearer. Thanks!

[@CharlesWallerPhotographer]

This has to be the best explanation on how the "Blend If" sliders work. Now I understand the workings I will be using this a lot more. Keep up the good work.

[@freeformdesign4709]

I've been using Blend If for a few years now... but how did I not know about splitting it with Alt?! MIND= BLOWN. Thanks Aaron!

[@dblas619]

What an easy and non-destructive way to enhance highlights and shadows! Thanks for this!

[@mfawzi89]

You made it one of the best episodes ever, the way you explain how blend works was so clear.

[@jeannierodriguez2542]

[@TheMazzken]

+Phlearn Photoshop and Photography Tutorials What type of drawing tablet do you strictly use for Photoshop touchups and retouching?

[@Dnarte_]

+TheMazzken you wouldn't really have strict restrictions on tablets for retouching

[@kaybrown5637]

+TheMazzken - He uses a WACOM tablet.

[@ThinkCriticallyNow]

+TheMazzken There is a link to the tablet in the description
