This is a fairly simple tutorial, though its uses for creative image editing in Photoshop are anything but. Even this tutorial does not begin to scratch the surface of what can be done when you use Blending Mode in Photoshop. This tutorial is instead designed to simply make people aware of it and to give them a glimpse into what it can do for your work.

Let's begin. For this tutorial I will be using an image of the lovely Karima Adebibe who is currently acting as the new model to fill Lara Crofts boots.

< Blending Mode has a myriad of other uses for compositional work in Photoshop aside from simply giving your image a different look. Try playing around with different uses of Blending Mode in your works in Photoshop, especially in terms of achieving different looks in images that use multiple layers. The above tutorial only hints at the possibilites. Enjoy.
