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
