This is the final result of this episode, a beach umbrella photo that was once pale now appears darker, then without being printed on the sketch paper, everything is done just with the multiply blend mode. Let's start. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Blend mode determines how the color of a layer mixes with the layer below it. Today we are discussing the darkening group, especially multiply, which works like stacking two slides over a light source.
Open the beach umbrella photo. Press Ctrl J to duplicate the layer. Click the blend mode menu in the layers panel. This list is grouped, normal and dissolve, then the darkening group which is darken, multiply, color burn, and linear burn,
then the brightening group, contrast group, and so on.
Select multiply.
Each color is multiplied by the color below it, so the result is always darker, except for white which does not change anything.
The pale sand and sea are now darker.
Lower the opacity to 60% so it's not too dark.
Try switching to darken.
Darken only compares and takes the darker pixel from both layers, without altering anything.
Since both layers are exactly the same, the result of darken does not change.
Return to multiply.
Now another use of multiply, applying texture.
Select file, place embedded, then choose the watercolor paper photo. Enlarge a bit so it covers the canvas, then press enter. Change the blend mode of the paper layer to multiply.
The bright paper almost does not change the photo, whereas the texture, stains, and pencil scratches are printed as well.
Lower the opacity to 70%. Turn the paper layer on and off to compare.
Save the PSD and export JPG. Done. We've already learned the darken blend mode group, using multiply to restore faded photos, comparing darken and multiply, and applying paper texture with multiply. In the next episode, we'll discuss lighten and screen for light effects. Need to edit product photos for marketplace, retouch photos, design posters, or social media content?
