Photoshop - Texture Blending and Masking

Advanced Blending in Photoshop

Apply Image, Blend If and Masking Combined

This video shows the creation of a simple image using some masking and some advanced blending options in Photoshop.

The sole purpose of this tutorial is to demonstrate some of the lesser-used blending options in Photoshop. The blend-if functions are not as well known as other features in the layer fx dialogue and the apply image command is a very powerful tool that can be harnessed to very impressive effect.

Here, we keep things simple and create an image which could be created using simpler methods, but along the way we learn some interesting things.
