*** some qualities
- screen makes things brighter
- multiply makes things darker


** normal blend mode
- default blend mode (usually)
- keeping the picture on top of another picture

*** when is normal not default?
- when you create a group the default is "pass through"
- to apply all group filters to within the group change it to 'normal'

** multiply blend mode
 - multiply darkens
 - ignores white
 - multiplies dark onto image

*** technique 1
- duplicate an image
- set it to multiply
- change blending option
  - take away from the dark
  - find current layer slider
  - hold OPTION key, click on slider to break it apart

- problem is that if you change the underlying image, you have to change the multiply image

*** technique 2
- find an adjustment layer that changes nothing by default
- set it to multiple
- it effectively acts as a duplicate image
