Using the Soft light mode


How to do it…

This simple recipe will show you how to change a layer mode to the Soft light mode:

  1. In the Layer palette, click on the layer to edit (if the Layer palette is not visible, go to Window | Layer to open it).

  2. In the top-left corner of the Layer palette, click on the drop-down menu. Next, click on the Soft light mode.

How it works...

This mode produces different results depending on the density of the colors being overlapped. When colors brighter than 50 percent grayscale are overlapped, the result is brighter than the original, much like Dodge. When the colors are darker than 50% grayscale, the colors are darker, much like Burn. When areas equal to 50% grayscale are overlapped, there is no change, and areas not overlapping with the color become white, as in the center of the preceding example.
