You explain things in a way that anyone can understand. Thank you so much.
No, he just repeats the same thing 3-4 times in a row just with a different camera shot, which is why this video is 42 minutes. We understood multiplication the first time.
@@NillKitty sometimes repeating the same methods with the different way it's useful to be more understanding more how it exactly it works.

Not everyone. I still have to try each blend. I am slow
for me math is a strange thing@@theoffbeatartist
When I'm teaching or learning something I'm always struck by how many want to just "show off" their knowledge and how few really teach/guide those who want to learn. You put these in a space where people can grab, relate and learn and that's the best compliment I can give a learning guide. Right on man, keep it going.
Right with you there. I agree 100% passion for teaching and not showing off here is what always brings me to PIXimperfect every time, even when I'm not looking to learn something new his love for sharing knowledge is compelling. ❤️
I've been using Photoshop since version 2, and this is the first time I've actually understood how blending modes work. Thank you!
I'm a simple guy, i try every blending mode lol
Same here XD

Thanks for that 🎉
Thanks Bro
I wish you would also do After Effects tutorials. Amazing talent for teaching.
I wish I knew After Effects enough to make a tutorial. Thanks for watching!
@@PiXimperfect bnado yar after effects ka bhi.
@@PiXimperfectCan you do it na sir ???
Was going to say look out for Video Copilot, but I see my friends were here before me! I HIGHLY recommend their channel!!!!
Samir Patnaik hell yeah like C4D’s commander!
Just for the sarcasm at 2:18 I hit the Like Button even better watching the rest of the video. I genuinely laughed at your snarky comment. You've got an insane amount of Photoshop knowledge, but you're actually funny at times. Thanks for both! 💌
DUDE ! THIS IS SOOOO MUCH WORK !!!
Thank you soooooooooooo much for giving us all those information !!
Thank you SO MUCH for this! There is an ocean of videos and "tutorials" on blend modes that just tell you which one they use, but not why. Finally, I feel like I am beginning to understand how they work.
THANK YOU, I've been trying to find someone who could explain all the blend modes and then you post this. :)
Man I really appreciate how clearly you show all the differences and similarities between the blend modes! Just a perfect video! Thank you so much :)
This is one of the best videos you've ever produced. I don't know if this knowledge exists somewhere else, but if it does I've never seen it presented this way. Thank you so much 👏
The way you teach is amazing. I'm so thankful for you.
Wow!! I've never seen a guy who can explain everything that perfectly.
Love this video..!!
This is the most explanatory video about blending modes I've ever seen. Thank you so much.
The way you explain each bend mode is much easier to understand compared to others, especially multiplying of 0 and 1. Thank you so much for opening our minds about blend modes!
I think you always give me something to save to my playlists, great videos as always
This whole channel is a playlist
By far the most comprehensive teaching on blend modes! Thank you, well done!
Fantastic tutorial! I have worked with Photoshop and layer blend modes for more years than I'd care to say, and I understood how quite a few of them worked, but now, WOW! It's great to finally have a handle on how some of the less straightforward ones work and nuances of how some of the others do. Thanks so much for this!
The best and most thorough explanation I have ever seen on the subject. I tend to use only 3-4 blend modes but now this gives me more understanding to to try other modes in specific circumstances (without trial and error :). Excellent tutorial.
Thank you Unmesh, perhaps one of the best videos of the year, tough subject but not really when you realize the potential of these tools!
Moonpie
You are the BEST! You make things simplified. I'm a photoshop user for 20 yrs. I still learn new things from your channel.
Thank you!
By far the most straight forward, easiest description I've heard. Great presentation!
This is just superb. Exactly what I was looking for - very clear, concise, intelligent, thorough and easy to watch. Thank you!
You're great! Thank you for this awesome, compelling, complete, fun tutorial. It's so much work I really appreciate the time you spent on making it.
So far this has been my favorite video of yours. I love learning about the science and concepts behind Photoshop, and not just learn the steps to change a picture to something else.
Please post more videos like this. Like, what is happening down to the pixel level in terms of color/brightness, etc.
I need to re-watch this about 3 times and test it out to fully understand and learn the blend modes. After that, I have no struggles about blend modes! This guy deserves a praise!
The best blend mode tutorial on TH-cam!!
Other TH-camrs only tells you to try every option to figure out the patterns and preferences
You are the best teacher I've ever had, I'm so grateful and thankful. For real, you make Photoshop a simple program that everyone can use. Thank you so much for doing all this videos!!
God bless you for this tutorial. Your teaching is amazing. I love all your tutorials.
This was probably the most helpful video you have made yet, though there’s tough competition. Thank you so much for all your help with your videos: you have saved no doubt hours of courses/learning with your ability to teach clearly and with appropriate examples. Also, the maths was very helpful to understand exactly what was going on, so please don’t hold back in other videos!
What a great teacher! I've read some literature about blend modes before but this video gives me a whole new way of understanding. Watch this video, take notes on the essentials, read such literature again. Then come back to this video and re-appreciate what is in there. It is a beginning, not an end of learning blend modes.
You are the best photoshop tutorial ever. Thanks for doing this.
no he is human
He isn’t a tutorial , is he ?
I've been waiting a long time for a detailed explanation for all the blend modes! Thanks! By the way, a good use for subtraction is to remove some gradients, such as removing light pollution if you do things like astrophotography.
This was MASTERFUL!! I have been looking for something like this for years and here you come with this awesome tutorial. I honestly don't know how you keep coming up with content, but please don't stop.
Haven’t used Photoshop for 20+ years but recently got back into it for some stuff I’m working on.
Your content is by far some of the best education material I’ve come across on TH-cam, thanks for putting everything together!
THIS. VIDEO. IS. AMAZING!!!
I love how you teach! Thank you so much for all your videos! 😍
What a phenomenal video - i'll never stop recommending your channel to people looking for tips, tricks, tutorials and overall fantastic information on both Lightroom and Photoshop / Camera Raw. Thanks Unmesh.
Thank you, my friend. I really appreciate your support and time to watch the videos :)
generally speaking, i love your tuts so much especially this one about blending modes
I have been using Photoshop for many years and this is the first time I have seen such a clear, consistent and practical explanation of blending mods. Thank you
Great tutorial. I found Divide blend mode very useful for toning my pictures. Lets say you have a black and white portrait. Create a gradient map layer which goes from light yellow (H = 60, S = 20, B = 100, R = 255, G = 255, B = 204) to pure white, set blend mode to Divide and reduce fill. I find the resulting hint of blue very pleasing to the eye. Open the histogram and see what this does to the blue channel by toggling blend layer on and off. Might want to add constrast a bit.
bro you're a genius! thanks so much!
My god mate this is the best, clearest and more succinct explanation on the NET. SO many have confused me. Thanks.
Unmesh you're the king! Never before I found a better and profound explanation of ALL blend modes. Totally appreciate your work you done with this tutorial. Big Thanks!
you opened my mind...
I've learned all about blending modes
now never will be confusion
thank you so much, bro...
much appreciated
Glad to know that I am not the only one who finds that , except for multiply and overlay, the rest of the blending modes are just extras of the list.
Plain and simple, you are probably the best Photoshop tutor in the TH-cam universe. Get so much from your tutorials. Thank you very much.
My brain just blew up. This was such a helpful tutorial!!! And the b/w adjustment layer for Luminosity? Lightbulb moment!! Thank you, thank you, for all that you do for us Photoshop users, Unmesh!! You are the best!
I thought anyone knows anything about this blend mode ahahah !
Man you are just a Legend :D
I use photoshop since always !And i NEVER understand this much !
And this is so simple... Just with this video i record everything in my mind... With 42 mins !
What a performance man !!!
And when you ask for comment if we have a better explanation about one blend mode... No one have any (better) explanation ahah
And i think to explane this well is to speak like you speak to a child...
And when i'm looking at this video i'm clearly a child... With stars in the eyes
Wow, that hard light effect is powerful!
You are such a great teacher! Thank you for explaining things so well and not blowing through the topic!
Every time I think that I know it all, you bring something new. Please never stop amazing me with your knowledge!
I absolutely agree with @TheBadcop. You have an amazing talent for teaching.

Christopher Craig Video Copilot is to After Effects what Piximperfect is to Photoshop. This is by far the best Photoshop channel I've come across just like Andrew Kramer's Video Copilot is the best channel for After Effects. Long story short check out Video Copilot for After Effects tutorials. He also has some amazing FREE plugins.
You are the best. Seriously what did we do to deserve you?!?! Bless you for all your hard work.
Thanks again. I've been watching and learning from all your tutorials over a period of time. The tutorials only get better and clearer as well as easy to understand!! great Tutorial once again!!
You are on my screen 24/7 nowadays. Thank you for being such an awesome teacher.
42 minutes that look like 30 seconds. I just couldn't feel time passing.
The contents of PiXimperfect are extraordinarily amazing and unique from all other channels. Thanks a Billion, SIr ❤
An extremely comprehensive description of the blend modes with a superb explanation of each one of them.
I've spent four years in college learning Graphic Design and this is the best explanation of blend modes I've gotten.
So you’re my photoshop god, you have replaced all other tutorial channels, I was going to make myself a playlist of videos to refer to but you’ve made it easy, it’s just your channel! Thank you 🙏🏼
I'm the one who liked and comment on video before watching. Great Teacher! Salute👍
You have no idea how long I've been searching for a video like this. This is the most important video on TH-cam :D Thank you!
YOU ARE THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER FOUND IN LIFE.
I already told you this, but I don't mind repeating it.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing your knowledge.
"I'm sorry guys there's a lot of maths here"
You got me there 😂
The best video on the subject I’ve seen, BUT I was hoping to see more math: eqations and charts for every blend mode. Do you have such a knowledge?
This one of the best and most important videos for someone at my level, I have ever watched. A revelation!
This channel is incredible and absolutely indispensable when trying to understand Photoshop. Thank you so much!
Even maths is a pleasure with you.
Great job
Thanks
Its crazy how such a good video is on youtube for free.
This is the best guide for blend modes!! I totally understand all your explanations effortless!! I don't do much photo edition but I apply what I learn from your channel in my illustrations :) Thank you very much for your dedication sharing your knowledge.
Wow, this is what i call an overview! Thank you so much for all the good work! :)
You're the God of Photoshop!!
Thanks a lot for all such tutorials 💓
I wish I could learn Illustrator from here because I love how you taught me photoshop.
I wish I knew enough to teach. Thanks, brother :)
How about Lightroom brother? Please bring something up. We'll be grateful.
and then the number of followers might double or triple....
You saved many of us from trying blend modes randomly :)
Thanks for explaining all those modes in detail, and many other stuff in different videos!
Wow! Thank you very much. This what I've been looking for. Now, I understand the blend modes better. Thank you so much!
basic tip: when doing the blury efect on Hard Light, change the blend mode before you add the filter, that way you can already see the nice bluring affect, and you dont have to guess. otherwise (and, moreover to be honest) use a smart filter so you can always change the settings

"99.9% of the time you will not use the dissolve blend mode" lol. For me, it's tracking right now at 100% of the time. Haha.
this is useful not only for Photoshop users but for almost every digital design software that has blending modes. Great tutorial!
Most of this I knew, from watching your videos over the last few years but its great to have it all explained in detail on one video. Its given me a couple of ideas to ;) so thanks.
"99.9% We will not use the dissolve mode" XD
can you make a video when we use Dissolve Mode
For creating particular effect in special cases
Thanks a lot for letting them understand so easily...great teaching quality!!
You sir, are a great teacher. I'm a visual artist and I hope I might discover the use of all blending modes someday.. Thanks for the video, it's amazing
You are the best photoshop tuitor ...you explain the concept in depth ....thank you sir ...you are just the teacher i wanted.
You are SO good at teaching! I always learn something when I watch your videos! Thank you for all you do!
This is a truly fascinating video. Thank you for your patience and clarity in explaining this.
I was looking for that tutorial soo long! Thank you for doing such amazing work!
Your fluency of Photoshop is really quite amazing. A bit fast for this old guy but one can always go back! Thanks.
That was one of the best and most organized tutorial videos I have ever watched on TH-cam! Well done!
Really didn't expect that I'd watch the complete video. Man I really cannot express how amazing your teaching skills are, proud to have someone like you in India.
You always come up with amazing detail of whatever you teach. That's the real way to teach stuff. Other channels are good but they don't know the philosophy of of tools/ commonds and option but use it like trial and error method.
More power to you. I was really in need of understanding the philosophy behind each blending mood and you did that. Bundle of thanks for your good job.
