Blend Modes

Blend modes are often used to fix underexposed and overexposed photos. They are also used to create artistic drawings like the line drawing shown below. In this lesson, students will experiment with brush and layer blend modes. They will learn how to exploit the uniqueness of each Blend Mode to apply color effects and to correct poorly lit photos.
