Using Blending Modes
with Adjustment Layers- Paint Shop Pro

I've just been 'introduced' to blending modes. How have so many years of working with photographs gone by without having knowledge of this marvelous tool. I've searched the internet for good examples using phtographs and could find very little. First, check out one or the other of these two articles:
Layer blend Modes in Paint Shop Pro or Blend Modes for Photoshop If you have Photoshop Elements 5 type in "About blending modes" in the Help files. With Photoshop CS2 type "List of blending modes" in the Search for: box.

I'm sorry that I can't have a long series of larger images so that you could see the differences better. But the page would take forever to load! So click on each of the thumbnails for a larger size!

Go to page 2 for examples using the black and
white image, and the same blending modes.

You can certainly spend an interesting evening playing around with the modes I've shown as well as the others. Some don't seem to do anything.
Read the articles linked at the top of the page.

First you will want to type "blending modes" into the Help Section. Choose "To use layers with photos". Open the Layers palette. Begin by making a duplicate , found in the Layers menu. Then choose the type of blending mode (in this case 'overlay') and use the Opacity slider to fine tune the look you want. I like 24 for this image.  Be sure to click on this thumbnail. >>>
