 Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2005 9:13 am Post subject: Layer Blend - Color Dodge |
 |
|
I'm having a lot of troubles with Color Dodge with the Layer Blend properties.
See, i am working on monitor textures for a game and sometimes the color dodge works and sometimes it doesn't. What i do ususally is like for instance i would create text, duplicate the layer gaussian blur the layer then make that blurred layer a color dodge so it wold make everything glow. the problem is sometimes it color dodges, sometimes it doesn't. Is this a bug in photoshop or something? or maybe there is a step i'm missing.
Please help me with my delima!
Thank You,
Kedhrin |

Lets not confuse the issue folks. Layer Blend modes will react differently according to the content of the layer below and the Blend mode of the underlying layer. Really the problem is you are using the wrong technique. You could just use an Outer Glow Layer Style or you could flatten the previous layers of blend modes before starting another one, thus creating no conflicts. (Make all layers but the ones with the blend modes that you want flat invisible and then Ctrl+Shift+E)
You need to find a list of blend modes and how they react to eachother. Heres a fairly simple illstration.
