Photoshop :: Blend Modes In Stroke- Layer Styles

Oct 5, 2008

problems with the the blend modes in the "stroke" layer style, or am I doing something wrong?

right click on layer > blending options > stroke > blend mode
(position=inside)

I want to use "fill type"="gradient", but the blend modes do not even work with "fill type"=color. For both fill modes, the stroke does not let any pixels of the layer shine through, no matter what blend mode I choose.

I often use blend modes, for example "darken", etc. I know how they work, but somehow for the stroke layer style it seems not to work at all.

Photoshop :: Converting Screen Layer Blend Modes To CMYK

Mar 21, 2012

I've created some graphic artwork in Photoshop RGB, and now its time to output these graphics to an Illustrator CMYK file.
 
I have a bunch of layers that I have created for lens flares / light effects and I created these via filling a layer black and then using the Lens Flare Filter and then converting the layer to a Screen layer blend.
 
I notice that when I convert to CMYK in photoshop I lose the effect of those screen layers, is there anyway I can get those layers to look the same in CMYK without having recreate them from scratch in the CMYK space?
 
In my illustrator file I have a gradient background and was hoping to bring in these transparent lens flare lighting effects to place over the top of the gradient. I was thinking I might be able to merge the layers in Photoshop but unfortunately I need those screen layers to remain transparent.
   
I also tried turning the layer to normal 100%, convert to CMYK, placing into my CMYK illustrator file and then changing the layer to screen mode there but its doesnt look the same, its turn transparent like I wanted but it looks like where there is transparency there is a 25% opacity white.

Photoshop :: Flattening Layer Styles Whilst Preserving Blend Mode / BLUR

Oct 16, 2007

I do a lot of work for TV and as such have to often provide flattened layered art to broadcasters. I flatten most layers and flatten layer styles as well.

Question: is there any way to preserve a layer style blend mode when flattening i.e. I have some rasterized text with an Outer glow. The outer glow has a Linear Burn blend mode (or similar).

Is there a way I can merge this layer complete with style to a flat layer and PRESERVE the way it looks? Often I try this and it looks different (obviously because there is a blend mode being implemented with the layer style.

Any pointers how to get around this? I use CS2 by the way.

Another one - I often whack stuff into After Effects and put on an adjustment layer at the top with a gaussian blue (so it blurs everything below). Is there a way to do this in Photoshop i.e. an adjustment layer placed at the top of the layer stack with a BLUR? Any workarounds people know of or is this just something I can do in After Effects?

Photoshop :: Blend Modes - Flatten Logo?

Mar 24, 2011

I have a problem with the blend modes. I created a logo and i want to use it on a web page. On the sample picture i have created a random logo to show where my problem lies. The logo has a sunburst behind it which has transparent effects on the outside. Also i have made a big dot behind the logo with a soft brush. I have used blend modes - hard light on the logo and overlay on the white brush.

Now the problem is that i want to flatten the logo and the brush. And keep the background separate from that. The background is a tiled image so it would be better to use it on a web page instead of one flat image. But when i flatten the logo and the brush, then the blend mode effects disappear. I cant use the regular opacity because i want the grain to be shown through the sunburst. Also i cant cut out the image because the sunburst is transparent from the edges. So is there any way to flatten the logo and brush separately from the background and still have the blend mode effects to be shown?

Photoshop :: Luminosity/Color Blend Modes

Apr 14, 2008

I know what the documentation says that they do, but it doesn't appear to be the truth. For example, if I take my image and overlay it with a 50% gray layer set to Luminosity mode, I would expect to see the hue and saturation of my image, with the luminosity of every pixel set to 50%, but that isn't what actually happens.

Photoshop :: Blend Modes/Merging Layers!

Aug 22, 2008

I'm having a huge issue in designing my up and coming website.

I've numerous layers within my soon to be designed page - however, a few of these layers are set to different blend modes (Overlay, Screen and Lighten).

I need to ensure that these layers remain looking the way they do on my page when they're part of my flattened site, but it's just not working for me. When I flatten all layers, it looks as I want it - however I can't do that, as I will ultimately be using a tiled background layer, and the background layer I'm using now is only as a guide.

how I can merge down a ('Screen', for example) layer, without it losing its screen look?

Photoshop :: Convert Blend Modes To An Alpha Channel?

Oct 11, 2008

I found an image of the sun as a PNG file on Google Images. It had an entirely black background, but no alpha, so I decided to use the Screen blend mode and the black surrounding it was effectively removed, making it transparent. However, if I try to export to a PNG, this effect is not exported. I would like to import it into Flash, so it's important that I find a workaround for this soon, or I will need to find a different image of the sun that already has alpha. (I don't have time to create an alpha channel myself.)

AutoDesk Smoke :: Timeline Axis Blend Modes

Jul 10, 2012

It would be nice to have the full set of blend modes available to the AXIS tool in the timeline.

Quite often the most used blend modes for quick color treatments....Overlay, Hard Light and Soft Light etc...are not available in the timeline AXIS soft effect.

Is this a limitation of the soft effect as opposed to using ACTION or say Blend&Comp nodes?

New users would probably not find where the extra layer blend modes where, and may simply think that Smoke lacks these most used blend modes.

Photoshop :: Group Blend = Layer Blend ?

Oct 2, 2008

I have "group1" and inside that group, only one layer: "layer1". The blending mode for "group1" is vivid light and for "layer1" it's "normal".

Now, if I change "group1" to "pass through" and "layer1" to "vivid light" ... the result is completely different, while it should be the same, shouldn't it?

GIMP :: Layer Modes Don't Work In Layer Groups?

Jan 20, 2014

For the projects I'm working on, I use the same template beneath the different layer groups of each different project. When I move a "color" layer into the group, however, it doesn't show up like it's supposed to. It behaves as if the 'color' layer is a blank layer, and has no effect. Is there any way to get this to work or?...

ALSO: I can't open images by URL.

GIMP :: Layer Groups And Layer Modes / Opacity?

May 14, 2012

I just downloaded GIMP 2.8 (on Windows 7) and was using the layer groups to organize a project I'm doing. I noticed that whenever I put the layers into the layer group, nothing I do to them actually affects the image (for example if I change the opacity of the layer, it doesn't actually change). If I drag them out of the layer group they function perfectly; sometimes if I edit them and then drag them into the group they also work fine.

As I was writing this post I tested dragging a layer set to "dodge" into the group and it didn't work. It kept the dodge setting, but it looked as if it was on normal; however, I drug another layer set on dodge into the group and it worked fine.

Is this feature just broken on Windows, or does it not work like I thought (where you can drag them in and edit them individually, or edit them all by editing the layer group itself)?

Photoshop :: Adding Layer And Part Of Layer Blend Into Background

Jun 2, 2013

this is my problem:
 
Pic 1. I have an image I want to use as a background, however the image is not complete. I need a part of pic 2 to fullfill it.

Pic 2. The colors around the object doesn't match the colors of Pic 1.
 
Normally it would be best to cut the object out. However in this case it wouldn't look nice (the object is mixed out (in color) with the rest of the image). If I cut out something the object won't look "proper".

My question:
 
How can I blend pic 2 on pic 1, using the original object from pic 2 (as it is), and at the same time blend the colors around it, so that it matches that of pic 1 / or simply remove it somehow?

Photoshop :: Layer Blending Modes

Apr 3, 2012

I have used Photoshop for years, but never in the capacity. I'm trying to blend layers together and then have the ability to save the top layer with the effects as its own layer. I'm sure that is not too clear so I have attached a screen shot.

Basically, have a B/W raster as a layer. Then I placed a smart object from Adobe Illustrator (a bunch of line vectors) on top of the raster. I then used my layers panel with a Screen option and I get the effect that I want. Where the line crosses a light area on the background it becomes light, and where it crosses a dark area it becomes dark (See Screenshot). Now what I want to be able to do is save my line layer as PSD document and not have the background layer on there.

If I flatten the layers, I obviously get the background layer. If I turn off the background layer, then I loose my screen effect.

This may be an easy fix, or impossible. I'm not sure.

Photoshop :: How To Flatten A Layer With Transfer Modes Intact

Nov 11, 2012

I have a PSD from a designer where they created icons using "darken" or "multiply" modes over a background, such as this:
 
However, since it will get on a CSS gradient,  I need to extract the icons as a transparent PNG file, which of course gets me this in the web browser:
 
I can't just flatten it with the background, since the background is a gradient AND I need to be able to adjust the image's position in HTML.  Also there, are several instances of this situation in the design.  The best way to do this is to have a transparent PNG of each icon.  But, how can I first get the artwork at least close to the way it appears in Photoshop (in darken mode over red)?

GIMP :: Make Edges Of Top Layer Blend In With Bottom Layer To Tell That There Is A Line

How do I make the edges of the top layer blend in with the bottom layer so you cannot tell that there is a line??? I want to make it look like a heart but I don't know how to smoothen the edges to make it look like it is part of the bottom layer so when I merge the layers there is no goofy lines looking like someone cropped another fire picture out...

By doing this I build up new designs for digital papers.

Photoshop :: Clipping Layer Onto A Layer With Styles

Sep 25, 2012

I'm trying to clip a layer onto another layer that contains styles. Whenever I do this though, the layer I'm clipping appears to disappear. My guess is that it's inheriting the styles from the layer it's being clipping onto, and so it's indistinguishable.

So my question is how can I clip onto a layer with styles, but not inherit? I can't seem to find any 'clipping layer properties' kind of thing, or anything that allows me to specify it
