Thank you for the “difference” blend mode to align the layers. I always lower the opacity of the top layer but your method is way more efficient. Awesome video. Thank you Colin!

[@maryannemacrae1451]

Thank you so much for sharing with us. Im very new to Photoshop, but was able to follow your instructions and achieve what i set out to do 🙂

Thanks Colin *now I do know* what difference blending mode is useful for.
Really good tutorial, you packed so much in to this one, and for us non-professional users just so useful and a great reference, so thank you very much

[@clu4900]

I just learned the basics from you and I can't wait to see where they take me!

[@JoeHTX]

Awesome Colin! I'm guilty of turning the opacity down to line things up, I never even thought of using the Difference blend mode. I will for now on though! This helped me tremendously!

[@Normandreamfilmmaker]

Thank you for the 🤯 tutorial.
All this time, I was doing wrong.
Adjusting the opacity.
Rookie mistake, lol!

[@MathyHeijmans]

I liked this video a lot. I have to practise it. I also lower the opacity of the top layer (:-) Thank you Colin!

[@ronycon3100]

very simple to understand
thnk you

[@susanwilson6409]

I have'nt used the difference blend mode before. Thank you for the tip

[@sanjeewapathirajawasam102]

Thank you, sir, very useful video.

[@davidholdstock]

Thank you for another great tutorial. Masking / blending layers and compositing all still remain my all time favourite thing to do in PS. By the way, the blending you were able to achieve in the final view of the image, was simply wonderful!:)

[@photoshopcafe]

Thank you!

[@reillybt]

great video thanks for sharing

[@andrewnicholls5745]

ill be using the difference mode from now on

[@SinaFarhat]

Cool! :)

[@leniehulse1621]

Hi Colin, I use this method for a landscape photo - one exposed for the top and the other for the bottom. What can you do so your brush doesn’t go over or under like in a skyline?

[@peppinoraf7830]

I like use the different instead of opacity...thanks

[@gopimk3122]

Tutorial Idea -- Layer Comps

[@photoshopcafe]

Good suggestion

[@jrober42]

I have noticed that the commands that you are using to combine the images appear to be a little different as I have a Windows PC and you appear to be using a Mac.

[@davebryer6133]

Great video, but in two days I will have forgotten how to do this, a written 10 easy steps for the big dummy (me being the dummy) certainly would be helpful. Thanks again.

[@photoshopcafe]

I usually have written steps for these a day or so after release on PhotoshopCAFE.com, did you know that?

[@davebryer6133]

@@photoshopcafe I did not know that, thank you so very much, I will check it out.
