Diving deep into Blending Modes in Photoshop with detailed explanations and applications to your images. What are blending modes? Interestingly, there are 27 blending modes in Photoshop and the only blend modes that you'll ever need, especially for photography, are just 4.
We'll attempt to develop a deeper understanding of blending modes in Photoshop. When it comes to layers, blend modes are an indispensable part of the workflow with a plethora of real-world applications. Whether you are retouching, compositing, putting up the logo, creating a photo manipulation art or even simply editing your family photos, blend modes are very essential not only to enhance your results but make your workflow more efficient.
In this tutorial, first off, we will learn what are the four most important blend modes and how they work. Then, we'll have some amazing and awesome examples to show you how to actually apply them to your images. By the way, the 4 most important ones are multiply, screen, soft light and overlay blend modes. Next up, we will mention and touch up on a couple more little important but essential blend modes: linear light, color, and hue.
And at the end, I have something really cool for you guys. We'll use multiple blend modes to get advanced effects in Photoshop like realistically putting a lipstick and adding paper texture to your images. If you want to master layers, mastering blend modes is a must.
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial. If you have any questions, suggestions or feedback, do leave them down in the comments below and I'll surely get back to you. Thanks a lot for watching.

"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.

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

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.

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..!!

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!!!!!

@dudepersonvids 5 лет назад

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.

@sajithks97 7 лет назад

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.

@MassMoment 5 лет назад

I've gotten somewhat good at guessing what each blend mode does, but not the reason why. With this, I hope I can begin to better predict which belnd mode is best for a given situation; and better yet, how I can choose other images to incorporate in my project knowing what I can do with the blend modes. Thanks so much!

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!

@epe1207 6 лет назад

Quick and simple examples with relaxed mood and good simplifying statements for newbies. I have been using Photoshop about 10 years now for light drawing and texturing, but this tutorial really opened my eyes for the complexity and versatileness of blending modes. From the game development side, you need to figure out how to use these modes to alter your images, but with graphical game assets, you usually want to render out the final result (if you are using pngs in your project) by merging the layers or you can leave it visible in Photoshop and then use it in the project.
