After Effects :: Blending Mode (Multiply) Not Working?
Apr 3, 2013I am working with CS6. I am attempting to add shadow to my text, which is a simple enough process. However, it doesn't appear as though my blending modes are working. Putting it on as a Multiply doesn't do anything to the solid shadow catcher. I have seen in the forum that some have had luck by changing the solid color, but this does not work for me.

Nov 12, 2012I have Windows 8, and Photoshop CS6. All of my blending modes work, except for Screen. I don't know why it doesn't, but I do use it somewhat frequently, and it's really holding me back at this point.

Feb 12, 2014The official documentation on this mode is frustratingly vague: "This is short for "exclusive OR", which is an advanced blending mode that is primarily used for image analysis and not for drawing or image composition." Thing is, I do personally use it to make art. I think if I knew what exactly it did, I could more easily create images that have eye-pleasing results when blended together using xor.

Jan 23, 2013I'm using Photoshop CS6 on a Mac (OS X 10.8.2), and I've run into a wierd problem I've never seen before. I'm creating a seperate layer over a photo, and filling that layer with 50% gray. I then set that layer's blending mode to Overlay. When things are working correctly (and they always have in the past) setting the 50% gray layer to Overlay should render that layer invisible, and it should have no visual effect on the photo underneath.
Suddenly this is not the case, and it looks like the grayscale in the photo beneath the gray layer is much brighter. What's really weird is that I tried to recreate this problem on a couple of other pic files, and the Overlay blending mode works fine there! So the problem seems to be only with this one file. Changing the file from CMYK to RGB seems to lessen the effect, but it's still present.
Photoshop :: Blending Mode Issue
Jul 15, 2008I have 2 layers styles applied to a shape in Photoshop CS3:
1. Drop shadow with a soft light blending mode.
2. Colour fill with a multiply blending mode.
This shape is on a transparent canvas so I can export it without a background.
If I convert the shape to a smart object it seems to change the appearance of the shadows and the fill to as if they were set to the default "Normal" blending mode. I also get this problem when I export for web and if i merge layers together.
Can someone please tell me how to preserve the blending modes of the layers as this seems an odd thing for Photoshop to do.
Photoshop :: 'unsupported Blending Mode' Among Other Errors
Apr 19, 2009I recently had to make the move from CS4 on Mac OS 10.5.6 to CS4 x64 on Vista.
I opened a file and worked on it with no problems on the new CS4 x64 setup. It also saved multiple times throughout with no apparent problems.
When I have tried to reopen the file on the same CS4 x64 Vista setup I get the following errors in this order:
--
This document contains unknown data which will be discarded to keep layers editable. To preserve the original appearance instead, choose Flatten to load composite data as a flattened image.
Options - Keep Layers, Cancel, Flatten
(If I choose Flatten I get this error: Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered)
I choose Keep Layers -->
--
The file uses an unsupported blending mode. Substitute normal mode?
Options - OK, Cancel, Flatten
(If I choose Flatten: Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered)
I choose OK -->
--
encountered reading layer
"Shape 1 copy 220"
because of a program error.
Continue?
I choose OK -->
--
Some groupes were found corrupted and repaired.
OK -->
--
Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop.
OK -->
And the file has closed itself.
I cannot open this file on either CS4 on the mac or CS4 x64 on the PC.
As a side note, this particular file is a personal blog design I've been working with on and off for several months so I can't be 100% sure, but I don't believe I have a layer called 'Shape 1 copy 220' as I surely would remember copying a layer 220 times.
Of course, it is annoying that I lost maybe 4 hours work (I have a backup of the original file), but my main concern is this happening again - especially with commercial work. Can anyone shed any light on known issues between Mac and PC versions of CS4?
Photoshop :: Blending Mode To Color Data?
Dec 6, 2008I have two images on two layers, the one which is on the top has a blending mode set to it (hard light for example) and opacity at about 70%.
What I would like to do, is to save that image (which is on the top) so, that every time I combine those two images, I would get the same result. (By combining I mean applying those images on top of each other outside of photoshop.)
The opacity is not a problem - I can save the image as 32 bit bmp (8 bit alpha channel right?)
Photoshop :: Setting Up CS3 Blending Mode For Indesign
Jul 29, 2009I've been working on an image where I have multiple layers and different blending modes assigned.

When I place the image in indesign the blending mode is no longer applied and the white background is on the image.

Oct 23, 2013I searched on [URL]... for "dodge burn", and the first two links that came up pointed me to a post entitled "Faking Soft Brushes and the Blur/Dodge/Burn Tool." Maybe I'm not reading it correctly, but it seems that to use that technique you need to use three layers and the Clone Stamp tool. But why not just use the technique described here
Â
[URL]....

where you create a 50% gray (hex 808080) layer, change the Blending mode to Overlay, lower the Transparency-Alpha of the Primary or Secondary color way down (depending on whether you are burning or dodging), and paint on the new layer? Is the other technique better?

Mar 17, 2013Simply adds the two components. But this is only correct if there is no transparency involved.
Once there is transparency involved, it gets more complex. So, what is the math behind the linear dodge blending mode if the top layer has semi-transparent pixels (=alpha less than 1)?
Photoshop :: High-Res Image - Use Blending Mode To Extract
Aug 27, 2011I have a high-res image of a model of a ship that I'm looking to put on top of a seascape image. The pictures below are a lot smaller and cropped then actual.
Here is a crop of the image of the ship, luckily it's on a plain background and nothing more complicated: After much trial and error, Fluid Mask did a decent job and I'm on the fence about saying useable:
However, this is a thought I had when scrolling through blending modes on the ship's layer. Here it is on Multiply:
Obviously it's too dark, but in terms of the edges on the small details like the ropes, it looks great. I got thinking about somehow automating Photoshop to recognize wherever a pixel is different from the background layer below it, Photoshop would be able to tell where the image is and where the background is, since Multiply removes any white but leaves other colors (albeit darker).
I don't know how this would be done if it's possible at all, I'm guessing with some sort of code made into a plugin or something.

Feb 17, 2013I have a PSD file that has a couple layers that are shadows and highlights for t-shirt textures. Then I have other layers that are the colors of the shirts, so I can swap the color out and it looks like the appropriate t-shirt color with the shirt textures and shadows. My ultimate goal is to export the shirt textures with no color background and keeping it a transparent png. I want to use this transparent image on a website that has color behind it and can change the color using html Divs.
Â
The issue is when I turn off the lower layer colors of the shirt the image is not trasnparent it is white. The multiply layers don't stay transparent. Is there a way to export the multiply layers as transparent? Is there a way to remake the layers as a raster image, rather than using the layer blending modes?

View 3 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Mimic Screen Blending?
Apr 15, 2004I've got an image of a lightning strike on a black background. I want to remove the black background, so that only the lightning itself remains.
By setting the layer to Screen blending mode, it accomplishes exactly what I want -- but only when atop other layers. I need to export just the lightning with an alpha channel to use in a Flash movie I'm creating, so that doesn't do me any good!
So the question is -- how do I get the effect of Screen blending without any underlying layers???
I've tried a few "remove black" filters, but they always take away too much of the lightning, and leave what's left with a dingy grey halo...

Photoshop :: Blending Options, Fx, Effects, Copy, CS4
Jun 16, 2009In PS CS4 In my layers palette, I used to be able to have an effect (ex. drop shadow) on a layer & drag that effect onto another layer so the layers would have the exact same effect. In CS4 when I drag an effect, I lose that effect from that layer & it is put on the layer I dragged it to only. It will not let me copy it anymore. Is there some key I should be holding down now? I am wondering what else I will be running into with CS4. Maybe that wizard will pop out & yell at me.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Improve 3D Effects When Blending With Many Steps?
Feb 27, 2014I am recently having a lot of fun after I discovered the power of blending. So here is my "protocol": I create two similar shapes, I make sure that they have a colored stroke, I use the blender, then I modify the path with the pencil, and I get this kind of results
Â
I am quite happy with this, because of the fake 3D effect that it generates. I kind of understand that the "3D- shading" effect comes from the stroke color. However, this method has its limitations because:
- it only works with a stroke
- it gives different aspects depending of the number of steps.
Â
Is there any way to smooth the effect created by the strokes to avoid the segmentation seen of the picture above?
Â
Ideally, the best tool would be some kind of "extrude+blend on free path" tool, but it doesn't seem to exist in Illustrator yet...

Jul 14, 2013When I open a file or create e new file in CS5.1, it fills the screen. In CS3, at the bottom of the tool bar, is a tool "screen mode" that lets me open a file that doesn't fill the screen so that I can put two or more small files (images) on a new blank file. I have not been able to do that in CS5. I do not know how to show two (or more) files at one time in CS5.1.

Oct 25, 2008I have recently upgraded from CS3 to CS4 and have a slight problem with standard screen mode.
When I open an image in standard screen mode the image does not fill the screen and the amount of screen the image fills depends on the percentage magnification.
I have to drag the image with the cursor to fill the screen.
When I open a new image the same thing happens, it reverts back to partially filling the screen.
This only occurs in standard screen mode, the other two modes seem to be ok.
