Introduction

This is the final result of this episode, a night city panorama by the river with a starry sky now. Taken from a night mountain sky photo and blended with the Screen blend mode. Let's start. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. The opposite of Multiply is Screen. Screen makes the result always brighter, and black color has no effect at all. This is the go-to blend mode for adding light, stars, or lens flare.

Step 1: Night city photo

Open the night city photo by the river. The sky is dark blue without stars due to city light pollution. We will add stars from another photo. Select file, place embedded, then choose the night mountain sky photo.

Step 2: Place a bright sky

This photo covers the entire city. Press Enter.

Step 3: Blend mode Screen

Change the blend mode of the star layer to Screen. The dark parts of the sky disappear, while the bright star points remain visible over the city sky. Screen works like projecting two slides onto the same screen. The mountain silhouettes and lake reflections from the star photo also make the buildings appear pale. Add a layer mask, select the black and white gradient tool, then drag from the roof line of the building upwards. Stars only appear in the sky, while the buildings return to sharp focus. Try switching to Lighten. Lighten only takes brighter pixels without adding light, making the stars appear thinner. For light effects, Screen feels more natural. Switch back to Screen. Press Ctrl J to duplicate the star layer so the light stacks, then adjust the opacity of the duplicate to 50%. Save as PSD and export as JPG. Done. We've already learned about the lightening group. Using Screen to add stars, limiting with a gradient mask, comparing Lighten and Screen, and stacking light layers. In the next episode, we'll discuss Overlay and Soft Light for contrast.
