Blend Ranges and Blend If


Recommended Posts

I tried to find some other input on this but didn't get anywhere.

 

I was expecting the Blend Ranges box to work somewhat like PS layer Blend if sliders. As it stands after some experimentation with gradient boxes I still don't get the Blend Ranges option at all - what are the axes? Input and Output are what exactly? It may just be that this dialog needs some more labels but it may be that it's not what I'm looking for.

 

In PS, in the Layer Style dialog under Blending Options you have the ability to specify that a layer should be shown based on the colour of either the layer itself or the underlying layer. You can set both of these for each of the colorspace colours and also a composite if appropriate (e.g. not for Lab).

 

Especially important is the ability to option-click on the sliders to separate them into two parts that define the range over which the blend should be smoothed. This way you don't get a hard line when you use the blend if sliders to apply significant changes.
