Blend modes notes (52 A4 pages)


Recommended Posts

Attached is my complete set of notes about blend modes, now spread across 52 pages of A4.

These are significantly updated from the previous revision, with lots more 'recipes' and organisation of these under main topics, hopefully to make them more usable.

Enjoy.

Dave,  Thank you for putting this together. 

I'm running AP on Windows and noticed that I do not have several (i.e. Dissolve, Linear Burn, Linear Dodge and Divide) in my layer blend modes.  Are these blend modes available on the Mac version and not Windows version?  Also, I have an 'Add' blend mode in AP, which is not mentioned in your documentation. I'm wondering if that is the same as Linear Dodge.

Add is the same as Linear Dodge. I only have Windows version and can't comment about other variants. Sorry.

dmstraker, 

Thank you for creating and sharing this valuable reference.

If anyone is interested, the YouTube channel PiXimperfect just presented a video that complements this PDF very well. It’s title is: The Science of All 27 Blend Modes in Photoshop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1D9ijh3_-I
