Brilliant. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Every time I watch a Texturelabs video, I'm reminded that I actually have no idea how Photoshop works despite using it professionally on a daily basis.

[@joseph-the-seventh]

Lol true. This guy on another level

[@radiansinus8126]

Same here and i've been using PS since 1999

[@krapart]

This, 1000x

[@annastasiat.6287]

SAME 😂😂

[@miqdamsajid6133]

[@hritikwadhwa4562]

This channel is absolute gold. Quality>Quantity

[@durere]

Brady, I'm only 2 minutes in and I already wanna build you a statue. Can't wait to watch it all.

[@Texturelabs]

LOL!

[@creedolala6918]

It's slick how it works with that flaking paint overlay, looks way more convincing than other blend modes.

[@jackbrannen]

This channel is a national treasure.

Last year you made "hard mix" my favorite blend mode I feel like it will be difference this time! Thank you so much for letting us discover new horizons!

[@supermarkomarkomarko]

Do you know in which video was hard mix tutorial?

​@@supermarkomarkomarko kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIq8pGNvhNBnirc kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX21dXakarqAhdE kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXjHeKSZdraXg7c These are pretty cool!

@@supermarkomarkomarko Halftone and Engraved Money Efect tutorials are pretty good ones!

[@supermarkomarkomarko]

@ Thank you, I'll bookmark them immediately

[@Texturelabs]

That's awesome... I think Hard Mix will always be my fav!

[@MrSorbias]

This youtube channel for sure is one of those hidden gems of youtube that rare know about yet. Keep up with the nice work. :)

[@anggitraharja4698]

Thank you very very very very much ❤️❤️, I don't know what to do in Photoshop without you, because I'm in a remote area in Indonesia, and I can only learn from KZbin, once again thank you very much for your hard work in making learning videos ❤️

[@szusi79]

This is the only channel I instantly save new videos before even watching them. I just know my mind is going to be blown away 🙈🤷‍♂️. Awesome content 👌🙌🙏❤️

[@cosmicrus1988]

love the info specifics you give..."remember with difference... black does nothing, white inverts."

[@naturetonyx]

Was using PS for 20 years and I still discover something new every time

[@ArtSzabo]

nice to see someone recognize Difference as useful, usually it's skipped over.

[@brandonpluguez127]

I absolutely love your content Brady! You're one of the only influencers online that have actually moved the needle with my skill in design.

[@downrock.creative]

Things that make me happy (in no particular order): 1. Seeing my wife pull into the driveway. 2. My kids being in a great mood. 3. Being notified that Texturelabs has put out a new video. 4. Finding a forgotten $10 in a random pocket. As always Brady, this is golden. I'm grateful for the amazing content given in such a clear and easy-to-follow presentation. Thanks, man!

[@Texturelabs]

#3 - Hitting PUBLISH on a new video - otherwise, same!!! 🙌

[@krissbuddle]

Unlike other 'tutorials' you make me THINK!!! Thanks!

[@harshswami2004]

What an awesome video. Learning the actual functions of those last categorized blending modes.

[@davidp158]

Wow. I have ONLY used difference for aligning layers, and had no idea of its creative potential. This is fantastic. Thanks so much.

[@howardsend6589]

One of the best KZbin tutors … thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@raheelahsan]

Mannnnnn, you never stop to surprise me with something new, I have been a Photoshop user for more than 15 years, and i have almost seen everything there is to see about it, all the tutorials all the tricks all the channels on youtube, but you somehow keep surprising, makes me feel as if there is a whole new side to photoshop I never knew. Amazing amazing stuff man. Thanx

[@cemakkartal]

Wow, I've always shied away from difference but you've made me want to mess around with it again! Great tutorial and breakdown of use cases

[@cosmicrus1988]

Your channel coupled with your website are top notch! My Favorite for photoshop.

[@Skymography]

This is definitely something I’m gonna try using! I’d love to see taking a copy of the original photo as a layer on top of the textures and applying the Color blend mode after doing this method on color photos. Intuitively this seems like it would work to fix the wacky colors on some projects, but I’d have to test it out. Great video as always! :)

[@brettwooderson7442]

Wow that is very cool. I have been trying out different blend modes will definitely have to try this one soon.

[@computer__eyez]

Thank you youtube for landing me on this channel. This video -> Powerful knowledge! Subscribed!

[@AMINEMAHJOUBI01]

My favorite blend mode ! my love for it began with GIMP where I would scroll through the blending modes to see what would spice up my abstract creations, difference has always given me that needed kick

[@baptistoriginals]

I love this!!! I've definitely wanted to achieve this look often and had no idea about how to go about getting it to this exact look, always having to setting for a cheap copied look

[@tiagoviale]

My mind was blown, as always! Thanks for sharing such unusual ways of accomplishing great effects.

[@apersingoptimist]

Yep this is awesome!! Have been using Difference for ever in just the way you explained but this does work really really nicely for textures on black and white!

[@rainonsunday3918]

[@ashishvaidhya4115]
