Photoshop Basics: Layer Styles Blending with John Reuter
Neil August 23rd, 2008
John Reuter shows us a basic screen-cast exploring Photoshop documents layer blending options. As you’re learning to apply textures, or vignettes to an image for artistic or tonal effects - you should understand these options intuitively. The best way to learn after watching this image would be to work over a couple images and utilize these different techniques to modify different portions of the tonal range. Work on targeting the highlights, mid-tones and shadows independently as you build up your awareness and control in photoshop.
