The following images display a study on blending modes within Photoshop. This involves taking a distinct image and combining it with a more ambiguous, texture-like image. The blend mode that I decided to stick with was "Soft Light". I also did some minor adjustments to the final image with brightness/contrast and adjusting the levels. Enjoy:

:: TYPE EFFECT ::
The following image I used to experiment with overlaying text onto the image. After editing the image as desired, I added the type layer and set the layer blend mode to "Overlay". This gives a pleasing transparent effect. I duplicated the layer to enhance the effect. Enjoy:
Ryan,
ReplyDeleteI really your work for this week. The one I liked the most was your type effect picture. I like the overlay blend you gave to the font and also, I like your choice for font type. Noticing from the original picture I liked how you darken the image, I think it looks better that way.
