Who can introduce the usage of PHOTOSHOP mixed mode in detail?

There are various mixing modes in PS, and used friends should know its benefits. . .

Having said that, I will talk about all the modes in PS in detail here. . . I hope it will be helpful to understand and be more handy when choosing the mode. . .

1-normal (normal mode):

Use this mode to copy the source layer or channel to the target layer, channel,

That is, completely replace the target with the source.

2- Dissolution (Dissolution Mode):

It takes the dissolved opacity as the pixel percentage of the mixed color, and puts the mixed color on the base color according to this ratio. (Note: Primary colors are colors or images that are already in place before mixing; A mixed color is a color or image dissolved in a primary color or image)

Using this mode, the pixels seem to come from one image or another, and there is no sign of mixing. If you want to achieve the effect that there are no signs of mixing between the two images, but you can have more control over the pattern than using the dissolve mode, you can build a layer mask on the top floor and fill it with pure white.

3-Rear (Rear Mode):

This mode is used to draw the transparent part of the layer; However, when "Keep Transparent Area" in the layer is selected, it is not available. It can only draw shadows or colors after drawing an object in a layer with painting tools (brush, airbrush, stamp, historical brush, paint bucket) or fill command. . .

4-Clear (Clear Mode):

This mode is available only when using the Fill, Paint Bucket, and Line tools in hierarchical documents.

(Attachment: Edit/clear the transparent filled area under the normal layer; Under the background layer, edit/clear the selected part filled with background color)

5 times (positive superposition):

This mode is the one I use most frequently. This is very useful.

It exists in all mixed modes;

To understand this, for example, this mode is like putting two transparent images on a luminous table.

Any black part in each original image will be black in the result, and any white or transparent part in each original image will let you see the same part in another image through it.

6 screens (screen mode):

It is the opposite operation process of positive film stacking, and it is also available in all modes.

It shows the effect that the white part in the image is also white in the result, and the black part in the image shows the part in the same position in another image in the result.

(Attachment: The operation points of Screen and Multipy are that the screen operation of the two pictures will strengthen the bright part; Doing Multipy operation will strengthen the dark parts in two pictures)

7-Soft light (soft light mode):

In this mode, the original image is mixed with the mixed color, pattern or image, and it is decided whether to brighten or darken the original image according to the mixed image. The blended image is brighter and darker.

8-strong light (strong light mode):

There is nothing to talk about. In this mode, the brightness value of the resulting image comes from a mixed color, pattern or image.

9-Overwrite (Overwrite Mode):

It is a combination of multi-mode and screen mode. .

Effect: The dark areas in the original image overlap, the bright areas are blocked, and the bright and shadow parts are preserved to some extent.

10- dark mode and light mode:

In the darkening mode, the darkening of two images is selected as a result.

In the brightening mode, the brighter of the two pixels is the result.

This mode is most useful when combining several masks to create a new mask.

1 1- difference mode and exclusion mode:

The difference mode is to compare two images and give a mask. The mask is black in the same area of the two images, and tends to be white with the greater difference between the two images.

There is little difference between the exclusion mode and the difference mode, which is very similar, but the intensity is different.

(Note: Black exclusion will not change any original image)

12- addition (addition mode) and subtraction (subtraction mode):

These two modes are only available under "Apply Image and Calculate".

ADD (addition mode) is to take out the corresponding pixels of the original image and the mixed image and add them together;

The subtraction mode is to extract the pixels corresponding to the original image and the mixed image and subtract them.

13- Tone mode, saturation mode, color mode and brightness mode:

These modes are put together because the above-mentioned blending modes can affect the original image by blending the color, pattern or hue, saturation, color and brightness of the image into the hue, saturation, color and brightness of the original image.

14- Color Fading and Color Deepening:

Color fading will highlight the original image; Color deepening (color deepening mode) is the opposite. . .

[Note: Using black as subtractive color will have no effect; It is useless to darken the color with white.

1. Natural oscillation

Because wink is regarded as light (not physical pigment) in PhotoShop, wink's subtraction attribute will not be used in synthetic or color works formed in normal mode. For example, in normal mode, 100% is impermeable.

The bright red selection above and the 50% opaque blue selection produce lavender instead of the deep purple expected when mixing physical pigments. When the opacity of the blue selection increases, the generated color becomes bluer and less red, and blue becomes the color of the combined color until the opacity is 100%. Paint blue on the red area with 50% opacity with brush I, and the result is the same; The more you draw on the red area, the more the blue foreground color becomes the final color of the area. Therefore, in the normal mode, it is impossible to obtain a mixed color that is darker than the darkest color among the two mixed color components.

2. Solution mode

When the dissolution mode is defined as the mixing mode of layers, it will produce unpredictable results. Therefore, this mode is best used with the shadow application tool in Photoshop. The U 1ssQlve mode uses 100% opaque foreground color (or sampled pixels when used with the rubber stamp tool) to alternate with the underlying original color to create an effect similar to diffusion jitter. The lower the opacity of the color or image sample usually used in the "fusion" mode, the lower the frequency at which the color or proof is dispersed with the pixels of the original image. If the path is traced with opacity less than or equal to 50%, Dissolve mode creates a stripe around the edge of the image. This effect is very important to simulate the edge of damaged paper or the "splash" type of the original picture.

3. Backward mode

This blending mode is available in the shading application tool, but it is not used for the properties of the compositing layer. In the "rear" mode, only transparent and partially transparent areas on the layer can be colored, and completely opaque pixels are not affected in this mode. In the latter mode, you can achieve the effect of filling the gaps in the layer content, or apply the foreground color (or the sampled image with rubber stamp I) to the back of the acetate fiber medium.

4. Clear mode

Clear mode is similar to the effect of erasing opaque areas on a layer. This mode cannot be applied to layers. Only the Stroke command, the Fill command and the Paint Bucket tool can clear pixels on a layer. Users may never need to access the clear mode, because Photoshop's eraser tool and many masking functions can perform equivalent editing work (the results are more predictable).

5. Multiple modes

This pattern can be used for coloring and as a pattern for image layers. Multi-mode subtracts the brightness value of the source material from the background image (whether it is colored or placed on the layer) to obtain the final composite pixel color. Applying lighter colors in multi-mode has no effect on the final pixel color of the image. Multi-mode is very popular to simulate shadows. Shadows in reality never depict a brighter color or hue than the source material (shadow) or the background (the area where the shadow is obtained). In this chapter, users will use multiple modes to add drop-down shadows to Lee in the restored image.

6. Screen mode

Screen mode is the anti-mode of multi-mode. Whether you use the color tool in screen mode or specify a layer in screen mode, the result of merging the source image with the background is always the same composite color or lighter color. This screen mode is very useful for creating neon glow effects in images. If you draw white (or any light color) around the edge of the background object on the layer, and then specify the layer screen mode, you can get a full or sparse halo effect by adjusting the opacity setting of the layer.

7。 Coverage mode

This mode mixes the color placed or applied on the layer with the background color in a non-artistic logical way, but it can get interesting results. Pure black or pure white areas in the background image cannot display superimposed colors or image areas on the layer in overlay mode. The brightness value between black and white on the background area is mixed with the color of 0ver 1ay material to produce the final composite color. In order to make the background image look like it was taken with the design or text, you can draw the design or text by superimposing it on the background image.

8. Soft light mode

Soft light mode uses color to darken or brighten the background image according to the hue of the background color. For example, if the background image is painted with 50% black, which is a gradient from black to white, the darker areas in the gradient will become darker, while the brighter areas will appear brighter when colored.

9. Strong light mode

This mode is essentially the same as the soft stone mode except that the background color is multiple colors or masked according to the colors in the background. Its effect is stronger than soft light mode. Like superposition, this model can also simulate patterns or characters on the surface of background objects.

10. Color dodge mode

Color Fade mode is similar to Screen mode, except that the edge area of the layer is clearer in this mode and the strokes in this mode are colored. In addition, whenever the color shading mode is defined as mixing foreground and background pixels, the dark areas on the background image will disappear.

1 1. Color recording mode

The effect of this color deepening mode is similar to that of multi-mode except that the brighter areas on the background disappear and the image areas show clear edge features.

12. Dark mode

In this mode, only the colors on these layers (or colors applied in dark mode) are used, which are darker than the background color. This mode removes colors brighter than the background color from the composite image.

13. Brightening mode

In this mode, which is opposite to the darkening mode, brighter color areas dominate the composite image. Dark areas on the layer or colors used in Brighten mode do not appear in the composite image.

14. Difference mode

It is best to use halftone or halftone coloring on the layer for the difference mode. This mode creates a color opposite to the background color. For example, in the difference mode, when blue is applied to a green background, a cyan-green combined color will be produced. This mode is suitable for simulating the original design negatives, especially for generating excellent effects in images where the background color changes from one area to another.

15. Exclusion mode

This mode produces softer and brighter effects than the d 1 difference mode. Both difference and exclusion modes can make human or natural scenery images produce more realistic or attractive image synthesis.

16. Tone mode

In this mode, the color value or color of the layer will replace the color of the underlying background image. When using this mode, it is helpful to consider the hue, saturation and brightness (HSB) color modes. Tone mode replaces the basic color components without affecting the saturation or brightness of the background image.

17. Saturation mode

This mode uses the intensity (color purity) of the color on the layer (or the color using the coloring tool) and emphasizes the color on the background image according to the color intensity. For example, when pure blue is applied to a gloomy background image, the original solid color in the background will appear, but blue will not be added to the composite image. If neutral color is selected (color that does not display mainstream chromaticity), the background image will not change. Saturation mode can be used to display the base color whose color intensity darkens from time to time in the image.
