Opacity and Blending Modes

Understanding layers in Photoshop is an essential editing skill that is often overlooked in editing tutorials. We've had so many requests for this topic that I've created a special 5-part Editing Toolbox series focusing on everything you need to know as a pet photographer, about Photoshop layers.

In this third episode we'll be discovering how to get layers interacting with each other using opacity and blending modes.

Feel free to skip through the video using the chapter links below, or watch from start to finish for a complete overview.
