Blend Modes

The blend modes in Paint Shop Pro determine how one layer will interact with the layer(s) below it.

They are really useful  and very east to understand. No doubt they will help improve anyones digital editing with Paint Shop Pro.  

Well actually - the Blend Modes are Flippin' Awesome!!

While there are 20 blend modes in Paint Shop the most useful ones are:

  1. Multiply
  2. Screen
  3. Overlay
  4. Color
  5. Luminosity

In addition to the blend modes, Mask Layers are also very useful and powerful.

The videos on this page cover the 5 blend modes listed above as well as Mask Layers.

I hope you enjoy the videos and learn as much as I did when I was making them!

Blend Modes

The Blend Modes determine how a layer will interact with the layers beneath it.

Paint Shop Pro boasts an amazing 20 different Blend Modes.

There are really only 5 of the 20 that a Paint Shop Photo digital editor really needs to understand and know:

  1. Multiply
  2. Screen
  3. Overlay
  4. Color
  5. Luminosity

If the change applied with multiply, screen or overlay is not enough simply duplicate the blend mode layer to double the effect and lower the opacity of the duplicate to achieve the desired results.
