Finally someone has explained blending modes rather than saying "use this mode to...". As the old saying goes, "You have taught me how to fish rather than giving me a fish". Thanks.
When people explain areas of Photoshop ad libbed, they usually manage to just make it confusing. You, on the other hand, must have spoken from a carefully prepared outline or script. Very precise, very informative, very easy to follow.
Thank you!
There's a good use for the clear blending mode, that I just came up with by learning of its existence. It would be more aimed at Illustrators/digital painters. Whenever you're painting, you're always changing your brush's size, hardness and transfer properties. Sometimes you want to use the eraser with the same current properties as your brush to keep consistency, but it has its own separate values. By using alt shift + to select clear, you can quickly erase your layer using the same brush settings without having to fiddle with it.
I’ve been looking for a way to do this for so long. Thank you for this comment!
I bought a book for 50 Euros a while ago especially for this topic of the blending modes. Nothing is stated in there. Here, this is the most understandable explanation for the blending modes. Thank you so much, Jesús!!!
You're welcome, P. F.! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Your tutorials are by far & away the most comprehensive and well explained than any other PS tutorials I've viewed on YT. Thank you for this excellent presentation Jesus.
Wow! Best explanation of blend modes I've ever had. Delivered in a precise way making it easy to understand. Thank you!
You're welcome!
The most comprehensive, and clear video on blending modes. Thanks for the effort.
You're welcome!
Thank you, heynow2111!!!
Mohsin Fareed great
There's even chapters in the timeline :O
Superb as usual, Jesús. This is probably the best video on the subject that I've seen since Deke McClelland's series about blending modes (titled "advanced blending" or something like that, and of course, not free as this video is). Also, it's amazing you've been able to fit so much information in 40 minutes! Un saludo.
Thanks! Yeah, Deke has some fantastic videos. I learned a lot from them. We both spoke at a conference together last year, and he was really nice. I actually taught him something he didn't know! lol. It was something silly, but it made my day.
This is probably the best tutorial I have ever seen in my life. Top quality sound and presentation, comprehensive, to the point, even mentions various exceptions and trivia. You literally can't get better than that.
Thank you, magni319! I appreciate that!
Thank you so much for making this comprehensive tutorial! I have been using a few blending modes very often based on the results, but to get a glimpse of what the program is looking at is extremely helpful! Great work!
Nothing left to be explained. Thank you.
i have been using photoshop since almost 14years. But never found any video on photoshop so much informative which though hard to remember is surely a 'Collectors' Edition'. Thanks Jesús
Thank you, Rajib!
"... hopefully be the last blending modes guide you will ever need." Totally... I've watched this about a month ago and watched it again just now to refresh and get a good grip of it. Very precise in the information. Amazing tutorial.
Thank you, TRINITY AXIS!
WOW! Finally, a comprehensive explanation of blend modes. Thank-you.
Epic video. This is great, and the sample gradients you picked were very smart.
this is youtube gold. How can something be so clear and comprehensive on the Internet?
lol. Thank you!
Thank you for all the work explaining the blend layers.
You're welcome, Bob!
I like how you took the time to break down each blend mode and gave a quick explanation. Seeing each blend mode used in action would really help. Of course, a person could spend countless hours showing examples of how to use each blend mode in a project.
Thank-you for pointing out the 8 blend modes that work well with, "FILL" and how to group the projects to get a different result.
Amazing tutorial, you really go in-depth so that you understand every last bit and how you could apply it to your works. This and Cinematic Color Grading are probably the best tutorials i've seen and i've seen hundreds. Big thumbs up!
Thank you! :)
Simply one of the best if not THE BEST explanation of Blending Modes. Thank you so much for your hard work! Looking forward to your course "Mastering Color in Photoshop".
Thank you, Simon!
Yesssssss!!!! Thank you! I wish there was a video like this for all these softwares
comprehensive tutorial in a short span of time
Thank you!! for your hard work, for this very helpful video.

Looking forward to such videos in future.
Great job!!!!
You're welcome! :)
This is by far the best vid I've seen that explains Blending Modes.
Extremely useful & explains much better than a lot of others. Thank you.
You're welcome, Terance!
Best guide to the blending mode ever. THANK YOU
I had to stop mid video just to say thank you for this! The information is very helpful and so easy to follow. Thank you! Back to the video.
Jesus Ramirez is a very professional and articulate instructor. I have enjoyed this tutorial and learn something new every time I view this master -piece. Great job!
Huge fan of shortcuts here. The information about shortcuts for blending modes just blew my mind. Also, super informative, thanks!
Finally found one explain so complete
把blend mode講的是一個透徹！ 讚

Watching this made me realize I have sooo much to learn and it’s overwhelming.
Absolutely 100% recommended to the past 'me' (if I ever get my hands on a time machine).
What I love about this tutorial is that the guy is in no hurry, takes time to simplify and double explain stuff, which is absolutely necessary for this much info to digest in one piece. Loved it. Literally tried to like again after watching this video...
Wow - absolutely fantastic!! So clearly explained and beautifully demonstrated with examples. A huge thank you!
Thank you, Vicki!
You made Amazingly simple to understand thoroughly!!!!!!!! Thank you!
Amazing tutorial. Thank you!
You're channel is one of the best in terms of quality techniques and such and quality explanations. Thank you! Hoping to buy your tutorials here at some point.
Thank you!
what a comprehensive tutorial, can't even imagine how much efforts are made behind it.
Thank you guys a lot !
You're welcome, Estas! It was a lot of work!
Amazing explanation. I'm really glad to find that tutorial. Thanks a lot
This was phenomenal! I liked how you integrated real-world uses for the blending modes as you went. People should know that these blend modes are in lots of Adobe apps; so learning them here means you'll be more expert in other apps, like InDesign (where you'll find the Blending Modes in the Effects panel).
Thank you, Anne-Marie!
Yes! Good point, Blend Modes work the same in all other apps! I should have said that in the video!
This is excellent pedagogy. Wish all youtube tutorials were like this - will certainly be following this channel.
Thank you!
Another amazingly informative guide!
I'm learning so much from all of your videos.
Thank you Mr. Ramirez :)
Awesome tutorial. Very clear and informative. Thanks!
excellent. thank you very much for this clear and complete lesson about blending mode
I have been using Photoshop for many year; however, I didn't realize how little I knew about the blending modes. Thanks for doing this.
You're welcome, Gerald!
Really Helpful. I can't stop saying thanks to you.
What a wonderful explanation of the blend modes. Will need to review it a couple more times as I practice, but well worth the time spent watching. Many thanks!
You're welcome!, Curtis!
So well explained. Very hard to find in youtube. Thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Muy profesional.. Oh My G... You are absolutely fantastic. One of the most knowledgeable tutorials explaining the function and meaning of each of this menus. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us and educating us in such a nice way. Gracias!
You're welcome, DESTINY SILVER! I appreciate that!

Even great tutors at lynda or digital tutors now called plural sight couldnt explain what you did... Thank you so much for this informative video

Hi
This description was very helpful to me. I'm thankful to you.
Excellent. I have been using Photoshop for about a year. Self taught from having observed pro retouchers in the 90s. I am struggling to colour and rescue black & white negs from the 70s. This wil help immensely. Many thanks.
You're welcome, Stevo!
Tremendous value in this video! Thank you..
Awesome tutorial, thank you for sharing! Excellent tip on creating a snapshot in the history panel @23:00 as well. I never knew about this before and can see many great benefits from it. Thank you!!
Phenomenal tutorial, thank you!
Best tutorial for blending modes.
This is great, Jesus! Carefully paced, and just the right amount of detail for me.

Thank you so much for this great great tutorial, so well explained!
You're welcome, Zoey!
I taught Photoshop from version 2 (before layers) until CS versions.
I've been to professional seminars and Adobe presentations too numerous to count.
Your explanation of blending modes is one of the best presentations I've ever come across.
Thank you for what do and do so well.
Thank you, Larry! I appreciate that!
You are genius!.. Thank you so much for this video, I keep coming back to it during my work!
This is what I want to learn! Thanks a lot!
I appreciate this so much. Thank you.
I usually watch this video once in a while // Thanks so much!
This is excellent video explaining different blending modes.
Admireably thorough and collected as always!
Thank you, Mártonffy!
:-)
Hi Jesús. I'd imagine I'm part of a large of group of enthusiastic amateur Photoshop users who know a bit about blend modes without ever understanding what's 'really' going on. This video is easily the most informative and clearly presented on this tricky subject I've ever watched, and I now feel I have a much better working knowledge of the blend modes and subsequently how and when it's best to use which one in any given circumstance. Thank you so much for taking the time to create such an informative and easy to follow tutorial, and for making it available for free! (Steve in the UK)
Thanks, Steve! I really appreciate your comment! By the way, I visited the UK for the first time in February, and I loved it! :)
Amazing, so well explained, many thanks
You're welcome, Tony!

AMAZING . GRACIAS !
Brilliantly explained as to how blending modes work, thank-you.
You're welcome!
very useful video. got to understand all the blenidng options with in depth knowledge. i liked how you didnt include the complicated math behind the blending modes and simply explained them in easy understandable words. i started the video without taking any notes as i thought this might be another boring math class but as i moved forward i realised that this is actually a useful video. thanks again. 🤯💯✌🙌
thanks you very much for these tutorial.
Excellent tutorial. You are a very good teacher. You have demystified something that I've never fully understood... I just knew what the results might be. These principles also apply to After Effects or any NLE software that uses blending modes.
Thank you! Yes, they do apply to Ae and other apps!
thank you, sir. wanted inner glow effect into separate layer and wasted so much time finding a way to do it. this tutorial alone was really helpful
