Graphically Challenged - July 2012: Let's use those blend modes

[moog25]

Here's another one from me. I layered all the photos with at least one copy of a bg paper using the soft light mode to soften the colors. On the largest photo I duplicated the soft light layer to soften it more.

Quite possibly my first ever truly graphic layout. . .

here's an updated layout that I made a few months ago, trying the Graphic Style:

Texas Sunset

I played with the State of Texas Template by Elizabeth, got just an outline, then used duplicate layers, blend modes, and erasing to get the color effects I wanted.

Here's a layout I created for this challenge:

Southwest Floral

I played with a photo I had taken earlier this spring, and the original image and altered version are in my gallery:

Thanks for this challenge, it was fun to get the images out and play with them

Here's another one that came out pretty cool. The photo and the background paper just seemed to melt together, so I went with it.

Here's another one from me. I duplicated the word art and arranged it over the background, changed the blend mode to Linear Burn at 30% opacity.I then added a layer at the top and filled with the cream color from the chair, changed the blend mode to Multiply and duplicated it to soften the colors and even out the skin tones.

Here is my LO for this challenge. I'm sorry, but I'm not even going to list what blending I all did on this LO because every element, paper and photo has some kind of blending mode on it.

This is my second one. This one has blended background elements and I even blended the photo this time. I wanted the photo color to be as intense as I could make it without changing the color to an intense color. I duplicated the photo and added a blend mode-either screen or overlay-and then I merged it with the untouched photo.

You did a great job this month!!! So many participants. I am so glad we've got some new "converts" to blending modes Wait till you see what I have planned for you for August. It will be a bit more challenging (can't let you off easy two months in a row right? ) Keep watching for the new challenge tommorrow.

I just love using Blending Modes in Ps..here is my layout Train Ride

The photos across the center band were simply blended into the background by changing the opacity level. There was a little more tweaking necessary to get the water color effect, but the blending was the simplest step!
