Exercises

I have two exercises for you to work through that will give you some experience using blending modes.

  1. Tattooed Girl
    Tattooed Girl (added with Photoshop)

    Tattoo Exercise: Learn to use the multiply blending mode to add a tattoo on skin. Watch the video below and use the demo files to add the tattoo to the girl’s arm (or you can use photos of your own). Hint: You’ll need to free transform the tattoo to make it look like it wraps around her arm (I used warp). Save your file as LastName,FirstName-Tattoo.psd to turn in.

  2. Old man in the tree: Watch the video below. Try it out for yourself with a picture of yours, or the one provided below. ​Save your file as LastName,FirstName-TreeMan.psd to turn in.
