Photoshop Blending Modes Explained

[@joshoakley4856]

"screen is just the opposite of multiply"…I've been designing for 16 years full-time, a good 20 years since I took my first Photoshop class, never heard things explained so simple. Thank you for doing this, Unmesh.

[@butyou_nobody]

Unmesh: "What is the opposite of multiply?" Me: "Divide!" Unmesh: Screen My whole math life was a lie :( PS: Just kidding. The above was stolen comment from one of Unmesh's other vids :D

[@MsHSpring]

@@butyou_nobody When you say "PS: Just Kidding", do you mean that Photoshop is kidding??? :-P

[@LoganJohnsonLJP]

This guy explains things exactly how my brain understands. I'm never left with more questions, only more answers. He doesn't waste time, trying to be a personality, only straight to the point. I wish you 20 million more subscribers.

[@shadmanalrashid9067]

why youtube doesn't have love button insted of like button!!!! like is not enough to express my feelings for this channel!!!!

[@AkiraPredators]

Yes, i feel exactly the same!! a LOVE button - like is flat and without emotion. And that is not right with this awesome channel and Unmesh in first place! Why, tell me, why it is not a law, that every teacher is like him!! Perfect work, and sooo much more, THNX mr. Unmesh

@RealTimeX they're good? They're second to none. I only started into this one week ago, (I know you may laugh) I am 61 yrs of age and creative in other mediums etc but digital is new to me, like I said one week. Anyway this guy is the best tutor I have seen and I am NOT going to look further, I'm amazed at this guys talent and learned so much in just two days. Hi to all by the way.

[@MG-Dub]

RealTimeX really what type of Indians do you mean ? ☹️

[@fengshuilife7146]

@@MG-Dub like most of the best IT companies and other MNCs in USA are led, from the front and the top, by very capable Indians. That type: INDIANS! Very humble, very good, and very efficient... :)

[@Bisme333]

@@fengshuilife7146 I think it has to do with education systems or lack there of... but yeah, this guy is freakin amazing... and has the best hair in the biz.

[@amitadhiya]

Dear Unmesh, although I had subscribed to your channel after stumbling across one of your other great videos & falling in love with your in-depth style of explaining things, I had not watched this tutorial on Blending Modes till now and was really looking to understand it *with examples* somewhere. And man, what better & crisp way to learn it. You don't need to apologize for the long video because whoever is an expert/pro or gets bored listening to the basics, can very well fast forward the video, but for us aspiring amateurs, this repetitive basics teaching style of yours with quick examples, also showing us keyboard shortcuts (and also explaining why the shortcut does not work because the correct tool was not selected) all this is a blessing in disguise. You may not believe, but I watch a lot of tutorials while reading the subtitles/captions which are turned on as I do not have audio output at work and I revere you & your knowledge as much as Aaron Nace of the channel PHLEARN. And the fact that you are our Gujju, makes us all the more proud for you. Way to go brother..!! Keep the good work coming..!!

[@allynhill1336]

I don't know who would put thumbs down on this, but the fact this guy is providing free education on stuff that would normally take you years if ever to discover is truly a gift.

[@amateurphotographer1096]

I don't just leave a comment and a thumbs up just for the sake of doing it. I also have a very short attention span but boy did i just watch the whole 27 minutes video!? Man, this is one of the best if not the best tutorial on blend modes on youtube! Thanks for your generosity and enthusiasm!! You are helping a lot of artists or aspiring digital artists like me.

[@dudepersonvids]

If you have a short attention span but can focus on things which really interest you, you may have something like ADHD. It's common for people diagnosed with ADHD to have greater difficulty maintaining focus, except on a few select things that really motivate them to pay attention.

[@jasminecommercemusic]

Every few years I decide I want to "really" learn Photoshop, but never before have I been SO STUNNED to find this kind of QUALITY tutorial! You have such a GREAT personality on top of such clearly laid out tutorials and a brilliant, intuitive teaching style! You do not waste a second of the listener's time, and I feel I wouldn't get this quality an education at a local community college, so just a huge THANK YOU for doing what you do, and sharing your knowledge with us for freeeeee!!!!!

[@sirram5148]

i can't believe that this is a free tutorial. There's so much thing to learn here. very helpful!

[@stevenboswell1198]

Exceptional tuition. Taking where the pros don't t like us to go.

[@Beencouraged777]

Steven Boswell lol, yep

[@nobodyknows5574]

No exaggeration: this is one of the very best channels on youtube. Highly informative. Easy to understand. Just spectacular.

[@vanshikagarg6926]

I used to get overwhelmed by Photoshop easily, but the way you explain makes it look like we can just play around with it and it's easy to use!

[@alexanderaracena4042]

Finally I understand the blending modes clearly thanks to you!!

[@hansnoor9637]

Damn I just finished one semester in 30 minutes. Thanks prof.

[@sharadpunita]

You are the BEST Photoshop Tutor

[@suzanne3t]

Your enthusiasm for your subject is infectious! Loves and hearts!

[@TheSr73]

High knowledge + skilled communicator = great professor. Thanks

[@EduFlix0007]

I watched blending mode lesson in the other channel and got bored so easily. I returned to this channel and I'm smiling from start to finish. Sorry If I look for someone else when you're all I need, LOl... Seriously, this is another great video even if its from 3 years ago! Thank you for being so generous.

[@KyleJosephBuckley]

Gives incredible tutorial and apologizes at the end for the length. No apology needed ever from you sir. YOU ROCK AND THANK YOU!

[@b0kkeee]

Never apologize for long tutorials! Loved it

[@yerric]

A pleasure to watch you! Excellent channel!!

[@varengag9576]

This man is absolutely the best teacher. Very clear explanation.

[@garethevans813]

You are by far the best photoshop master on KZbin! Thank you so much!

[@miramolko9987]

Yes that's what I like about your videos-that they are long and you really explain everything in depth. nice humour, exceptional explanations and details. thank you and keep up good work!

[@vr6ch]

It's amazing to see how much you yourself have grown in your tutorials since then. Always amazed to see how a superb tutor has the capacity to improve beyond themselves! Thank you for your tutorials and honesty in them! Priceless!

[@rufinopineda7326]

you're amazing. Not a word wasted always to the point.

[@yanirarivera6533]

Hola Unmesh! Im writing from Puerto Rico and I want to thank you for investing your time on sharing your knowledge with us. It amazes me the amount of information you can break down into each tutorial. Im genuinely greatful. Hope all your goals keep coming true like you are helping me achieve mine. OUTSTANDING!

[@sahildarwajkar]

you are the only person who explains it to the core in a way which we understand completely , I doubt there are any other channels where we can learn PS so easily and patiently. You Rock....

[@Nirav_P]

God...what is this man made of ! How one can be so full of knowledge this much in one life ? Hatsoff to Unmesh. You, man you are more educative than adobe itself.

[@cnklittle8090]

Hands down...best PS tutorials on KZbin! I've learned more from your tutorials than all the other ones I've watched, combined.

[@sajithks97]

Mate, I've been trying to learn photoshop for 3 years and all the tutorials were teaching to memorize instead of logical teaching. And almost all the tutorials from non-English speaking countries were bad. Now this is best compared to all kind of tutorials out there. Am glad you are an Indian tutor loved by many around the world.

[@AlexMetslov]

Finally somebody explains mechanics behind the names. You're god-sent! Now I finally understand why I would want to user specific blend modes, instead of just randomly applying them blindly.

[@murraysye2260]

No doubt the best photoshop tutorial channel on the web. Thanks for sharing.

[@narotama3412]

Dude, you're so good at explaining things, that's why I love your channel so much. Thank you so much.

[@washimchowdhury2524]

Amazingly explained. Need to clear these 4 basic blending modes before diving deep into the science of 23 other modes.

[@bijayadhikari8399]

It's 2020 and I started watching him since yesterday. I am blessed to find this channel.

Started using Photoshop at version 5, but this guy has though me a lot and motivates to learn more about this amazing software. His explanations will keep you interested and inspire you to learn more.

[@put1us70]

man I have no words to tell you how wonderfully you explain things. listening to you is a meditation. Keep making more videos on tips and tricks and basics of Photoshop. Your doing amazing.

[@giorgisad]

WIthout any further ado!!!! this is your line!!! plus you are the first and only one in youtube that i can relate to, because you do all your tuts in a non-FHD laptop and you can understand the struggle! you are a brother

[@heinb7]

I've watched a couple of these Photoshop channels but you are the only one seeming to get through to me. Well done good teaching and thank you.

[@sonikhan3901]

I’m totally new to photoshop and self learning. Your videos are the best to learn from, well explained and broken down. After repeating the steps several times. It’s all starting to sink in. Many thanks.

[@HinLai4794]

You just teach me about blend mode that no one else could, great video

[@prakharmathur619]

WOW! I think my life just changed after watching this. I have been using blend modes but didn't know what they actually did, thanks for this. I think I am gonna watch all your tutorials!

[@rubenrocha4209]

Thank you Mr. Unmesh for this. I must say your the best teacher on youtube period!. You deserve all the support the way you give so generously. Much love buddy! Blessings!

[@paramountdigital7680]

You are the best teacher in this photo industury.completly owsome and everythings you teach in detail.. No more teacher like you in this world according to me. My motivational teacher is only and only is you...

[@YeshouaNitzhareth]

you can tell how this guy's enjoying sharing his knowledge, man I learned so much from you, you kinda a PS guru to me

[@MissValerie54]

I must say. I have many courses on Photoshop and have listened to many instructors. but you are the first who have given understanding of what these blend modes do and how to use them. Thank you for your videos. They are very helpful to me for I am new at learning photoshop only the last few months. I will be watching more of your videos. :)

[@seemabshakeel5690]

finally!!! someone explaining every single term .keep it going, bro.Gratitude from Pakistan!

[@123jozef]

Not only informational...educational.. but you break it down, just like a very good teacher, and one other thing, you keep things interesting by NOT being boring or monotone (which is "0") you are enthusiastic.. (which is "1") :)

[@subhadeepcreators6601]

You are a very good teacher sir...♥️

[@sophiopopkhadze2053]

I have seen enough videos for me to sit down and practice as much as I can but I can't stop scrolling! plus soon I will like every single video of this channel! It is absolutely deserved!!! well done Unmush!

[@StoriesInYou]

The most comprehensive, easy and understandable tutorial! The bestttt image adjustment channel!

[@Vertabraker101]

These videos are the best. Well edited, audio quality is great, the lesson have brevity and are relevant to my interests.

[@GabrielCardairefr]

The tutorials of this author are real of a rare quality. The only "hic" ... He speaks a little fast. But apart from this aspect, we learn a lot of things with this youtube channel.

[@mandytohphotography3828]

You are a PS guru. Learnt some much from your tutorials. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@cliffcreates]

I've been using many of these features for a while (blending modes, blend if, etc) and in a way I still don't fully understand how they work but by watching your videos I'm finally starting to get it. For example, the practical applications of the blending modes makes more sense to me in the this video than the "all 27 blending modes explained" video. Both are really appreciated and thank you so much for all that you do!

[@TakeTheRedOne1st]

This is one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen. Also, I absolutely love how you throw in different shortcut hacks throughout your videos! Thank you so much for doing what you do! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@behnazbeheshti8201]

thank you so much for your great videos

Thank you so much! You are a master at explaining things! Can't wait to start using all the inspiration I've got from your videos!

[@mr_k4tz]

You’re a very talented teacher. Thanks for another stellar lesson!

[@MichaelReginald]

Very engaging and excellent explanation. I love the fact that he keeps it simple and repeats the lesson to help you remember the most important points of the lesson.

[@MissJaderbug]

Wow thank you! So much information in one video! Great explanations, but I will be rewatching many times before it all sinks in! Thank you!!

[@caucandyellow]

Absolutely brilliant Mr. Dindi!!! I've been a subscriber for a couple of weeks now and every video I watch just makes me want to hit the subscribe button again(although that would make me unsubscribe so ill resist the urge to do that)

The best explanation on photoshop teacher that I've ever learnt from.

[@amwartwork]

always appreciated when someone explains things in lamens terms. the greatest way to learn, especially as im a bit special. finally i found someone who i can learn from, plus a sense of humour!! subscribed!

[@AmandaHoranGoBookYourself]

Your vids are incredibly concise and helpful! I've subbed!

[@5ryanlriggs]

Man you have the best tutorials

[@mojosnapper]

this is what i call a proper tutorial the true understanding of PS. More examples = better understanding = longer video. The longer the more i like it lol thank you.

I don't understand how people can really dislike this tutorial... Bro u r doing a great job.. wish u all the best.

This channel is on its own level of genius. Brilliantly done!

I've said it before but ill say it again. He is easily among the best teachers for Adobe Photoshop, in my opinion my personal favourite.

[@thegusmen15]

you are teaching me the logic, not just how to use it. appreciate it man!

[@Visualverkstad]

You are the best teacher ever!!!! I just love your explanations and choose of examples!

[@mariosantos2571]

I reckon that indian people are so strong at Photoshop and AE but the accent and talking speed that is soo characteristic puts me off (my bad!). I congratulate you for your (almost) accent free english and refreshing presentation. The content and explanation is just spot on and it's a privilege to subscribe your channel. Great great work!

[@PiXimperfect]

Hey, Mario! Thanks for the appreciation of the skills ^_^ I agree that an accent can make a language difficult to understand, and though I know I need to massively improve, I try my best to keep it engaging! Thanks a lot for subscribing and believing in the channel.

Yo, Unmesh, my brrother! your photoshop knowledge and videos so totally rock, a gazillion thanks and appreciation for you
