Thanks T.U.F.K.A.E.

I didn't know that! (and never bothered to look it up)

I may not use it much but very glad to know what "Fill" is for in case I need it. ;)

You knowwwww...

I think the size of the photo makes a difference...appeal factors vary depending on what size they are...:w00t:

Difference 100

Luminosity (looks better smaller)

and then overlay 100

those are my top three pics from the smaller examples..

but that is just my opinion..

Layer Mode comparisons (PhotoShop)

I took a flower arrangement shot of mine and
was going to layer it over a shot of a fresco painted wall. There are various layering modes
available in PS and sometimes it is difficult to
figure which is most appealing when comparing
them by looking at them one at a time. So, I
decided to create this file which allows me to
easily compare some of the modes that I
thought were most interesting. There are many
other options and opacity levels than these but these are one which which I thought worth
comparing in this particular case and now that
I've done it I thought I would share it so that
others can see the differences.

Not really looking for critique but opinions about which mode is appealing are welcome.

I wish there was a Photoshop section but since
there isn't I put this here.

To the right of the layer mode (that's what I call them, anyway) is the opacity level I chose.
