Blending Modes Overview

Blending modes are found in many areas of Photoshop and determine how the tool you are working with will interact with the underlying image. In this lesson you will learn how the blending mode menu is organized and how to get started using them.

Note: The downloadable practice files for this lesson are contained in a single compressed .zip file. You’ll need to double-click on the fill after downloading to expand the file before using the practice images.
