Multiplies or screens the colors, depending on the base color. Patterns or colors
overlay the existing pixels while preserving the highlights and shadows of the
base color. The base color is not replaced but is mixed with the blend color to
reflect the lightness or darkness of the original color.
Pin Light
Replaces the colors, depending on the blend color. If the blend color (light
source) is lighter than 50% gray, pixels darker than the blend color are replaced,
and pixels lighter than the blend color do not change. If the blend color is darker
than 50% gray, pixels lighter than the blend color are replaced, and pixels darker
than the blend color do not change. This is useful for adding special effects to an
image.
Screen
Looks at each channel's color information and multiplies the inverse of the
blend and base colors. The result color is always a lighter color. Screening with
black leaves the color unchanged. Screening with white produces white. The
effect is similar to projecting multiple photographic slides on top of each other.
Soft Light
Darkens or lightens the colors, depending on the blend color. The effect is
similar to shining a diffused spotlight on the image.
Specifying opacity or flow
You can specify opacity or flow in the Format tab for the following tools:
⚫ Opacity specifies the maximum amount of paint coverage applied by the brush,
clone stamp, and paint bucket tools.
⚫ Flow specifies how quickly paint is applied by the brush tool.
To specify opacity or flow
Enter a value, or drag the slider for Opacity or Flow in the Format tab.
Opacity or flow can range from 1% to 100%. For transparent paint or a weak effect,
specify a low percentage value; for more opaque paint or a strong effect, specify a
high value.
