Using Blend Modes
Walk through various scenarios for using blend modes to learn realistic and useful use cases.
Summary
Add texture with blend modes: give text, shape, or background an added layer of life or character
Try: Linear Dodge when blending a texture layer and a text layer for a unique visual effect
Use blend modes for color grading: improve color of an image or jumpstart color correction
Try: Multiply to decrease brightness of the highlights while decreasing darkness of shadows
Blend modes can be used to composite picture-in-picture videos
Try: Darken to ignore the lighter value and keep the darker values
Use Motion Tracking (coming soon!) for bonus precision
