History Panel Option to ignore Layer Blend Mode Changes

Using shift+plus and minus keys to see various layer blend modes eats up my History. Not quite sure why it even records... you can't use the History Brush to "blend" previous blend modes. And it is not difficult to go back to a previous blend mode. I'd like to see a History Option to ignore Layer Blend Mode Changes, like you have for Layer Visibility Changes.

OK. Changes in the Blending Dialog don't record in History until committed.Thanks!
But I don't see a way to quickly go through the various Blend Modes like you can with Shift+ plus/minus keys. I really like that keyboard method to rapidly view and compare various Blend Modes.

Has anyone ever encountered layer blend modes behaving strangely?

I use photoshop quite a bit for retouching and photo compositing. Tonight I encountered a strange problem. I was trying to create a vintage look on a photo and had a number of adjustment layers including a curves, levels, color fill and there were also a few texture/noise layers all set to varying opacities. Near the top of all this I had a vignette layer that was black around the edges and white in the center set to blend mode of multiply. Well, when I was clicking on and off I realize that that vignette layer was definitely lightening the center part of the overall image quite a bit (the part that is white on the vignette layer), almost like a screen. So I flipped the vignette layer through different opacity modes and saw that there was no change in its behavior, every mode was screening the white, even darker color and multiply. I thought maybe it was interacting in a weird way with one of the other layers so I turned all the others off except the back ground-- still no change. Then I dropped the layer down one at time until it was below the background. When I started to move it up again, it was behaving normally for a moment until I moved it up a couple levels in the stacking order and then it went back to the screen behavior. Anyway I shuffled it around a bit but there was no consitency to when it would display the correct opacity and when it wouldn't, so it did not seem to be an interaction with any specific layer. I don't know, but I can't really think of any case where white set to multiply should produce a lighter result even if it were interacting with another opacity. In any case it does seem to me that there is something going on with the overall computation of opacities. I tried creating a new black and white layer and it was also doing the same thing, behaving strange and not displaying the correct opacity.
I'm tired, so I'm going to bed. I'm going to shut off the computer and hope this goes away when I reboot, but if it does not, does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm not a regular visitor to this forum, but I thought I'd put it out there in case anyone else has experienced anything like this. I've only got 5 gigs of ram on this computer and I've been working away for a while... maybe photoshop just couldn't keep up(?) I'm using Photoshop CS5, RGB Adobe 1998 colorspace. I've never had anything like this happen in the last 11 years I've been using photoshop. Hmmm.... hope I don't have to reinstall or call support or worse. fingers crossed.

Nevermind. It is still having the problem. I have to think that this file is just corrupt somehow because I just opened another file and can't seem to cause the same problem. Basically, I can fill a layer with white, put it to a blend mode of multiply or darker color and it will block out everything of the image below, ie totally opaque. The opaqueness varies depending on the if there are other layers also on blend modes, but it does not seem to correspond to normal blend mode interaction. If I put it right on top of a regular layer with an image on it, it totally blocks it out on a blend mode of multiply... weird. I am going to scrap this file and see if the problem recurs in other files. My 2006 Mac Pro is getting some years on it and has been running pretty slow. I'm not a hardware expert but I've done everything I know how to do to maintain it. Was thinking of upping the ram to see if I can hold out a bit longer before I upgrade the computer. Wouldn't surprise me if this problem is related to the computer.

I can't set a layer blend mode to "Screen"

Hello, I'm new to Photoshop as of an hour ago (I've been using GIMP for 2 years).
I have a layer selected and I want to set the blend mode to "screen". However, the screen mode as well as several others are greyed out and won't let me select them. I'm using Windows 8 Home Premium 64 bit, and Photoshop CS6 Extended (Trial) 64 bit. I'm intending to get Adobe Creative Cloud tomorrow, but is the reason for this that I'm using the trial version? If not, what am I doing wrong? There is a screenshot below to show what I am talking about. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Took me a few second to figure out whats wrong. But the answer is, you're in the 32 bit mode. Changing the mode to 16 or 8 { (Image>Mode>8Bits/Channel) or (Image>Mode>16Bits/Channel) } will make it available.

Why is a layer blending mode result altered by adding and effect?

I've done a search online and haven't come up with an answer but does anyone
know why a layers blending mode result is altered by adding an effect?
I am using CS3 on a PC (Windows XP SP2) and have two layers; one a Tiff and
a second a text layer with an ambient light and a spot shining on them. Both
layers have 3D turned on and accept lights and are in the same position in
space.
To make the text, which is coloured black, sit better I changed the layers
blend mode to soft light which works well.
I wanted to soften the edge of the text a little so I added a Fast Blur
effect and suddenly the result of the blend was completely different. If I
turn off the effect it goes back to what it was before but even if the Fast
Blur is set to zero, ie no blur on the layer, the blend result is altered.
Does anyone know what's going on?

Many thanks for that. I tried the Box Blur but it too shifted the result of the blend. In the end, to get this job out of the door, I changed the colour of the text to orange, lowered the opacity and used Multiply as the layer blend mode. Adding the Fast Blur effect to this didn't shift the result of the blend mode. It's not as sexy a look as using Soft Light but it works. I wonder if it's something going on with the maths or this a real bug? <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected].. > Presumably a bug that uses the blur's convolution kernel when it > shoulddn't.

Layer Blend mode won't show in Export?

Hi there,
I'm trying to export a composition and one of the layers has the "Multiply" blend mode applied. It looks great in the composition, but when I export it and bring it into Premiere, the layer seems to revert to a "Normal" blend mode (Its a gray bar, so It looks drastically different when the multiply blend is active).
I am using RGB+ Alpha, Apple Prores 4444. Is there a setting I can change or some way to fix this? Thanks.

Are you rendering the entire shot including the layer below your gray bar? You may be having gamma issues with Prores. You haven't given enough details to know exactly what's going on, but my first guess is a gamma issue. Try exporting an image sequence or just render animation uncompressed or uncompressed with Alpha if you need the alpha channel in Premiere.
If you are expecting the multiply blend mode in the gray bar to multiply with a layer below your rendered footage in a Premier sequence, that's not going to happen.

Masking "disables" layer blending modes!

Hi there,
i have a comp with a bunch of layers and one of them has multiply as blending mode! (ambient occlusion layer)
so far everything went fine but as soon as i want to mask a certain part of the comp the blending mode get´s "disabled"...
Doesn´t matter what type of mask i use it´s always the same issue... it´s rly anoying =/

Illustrator CC Layer Blending Modes not working

Did Adobe do something to Illustrator CC that the layers with the same object colors are no longer blending. No matter what blend mode I apply the object never blends with the object with the same color behind it
Any ideas?

Layer blend mode doesn't show in export

Hi,
I am trying to export a composition from After Effects CC, I am using a Multiply blending mode in most of my layers to give it a better look.
When previewing in after effects it looks as I want it too look but when I add to AME and export it to youtube and vimeo the Multiply blending mode does not work and it shows the composition as if all the layers had NORMAL blending mode.
How can I fix this?
Thanks a lot!

Render a normal Image sequence or Quicktime clip directly from AE and convert it in AME, which would be smarter, anyway.

Changing blend mode changes behavior

I'm trying to have words grow from very small to "swallow up" the screen—all while using them as stencils through which we see water. With me so far? Anyway, the motion is perfect when the blend mode is on normal, but when I simply change the blend mode to Stencil Alpha, at a certain point, it starts moving sharply to the right. All I've done is change blending modes, honest.
Who knows what the h-e-double hockey sticks this is, and, how to fix it? This is maddening.

Heya,
This is just a guess, as I haven't seen your project, but I think the text is sliding because it is too large for your GPU, so it's getting cropped and recentered.
Why is it happening when you change the blend mode? Good question. I think it's because picking any blend mode but 'Normal' is causing a pre-comp, and since your GPU's size limit is being exceeded, it's cropping (and recentering) the result. Or maybe it's a bug.
Here's a workaround to try: nest the text in its own layer, enable Fixed Resolution for the layer (found in the Layer tab in the Inspector, when the layer is selected), and then change the blend mode of the layer to whatever you want.
Seriously, though, you really should be using (as Patrick suggested) the Image Mask tool, instead of the Stencil Alpha blend mode. Free yourself from the AE-style blend mode tyranny! Vive la image mask!
(good luck)

Blending Modes Shortcut

While using Photoshop, many times I try to use the shortcut "shift +" or "shift -" to circle through the blending modes. However, this shortcut often doesn't work, especially after I've had the program open for a while. I've tried deleting the "plist" for Photoshop, but it usually doesn't help. What can I do to make sure that this doesn't keep happening.

To reset prefs, hold command-option-shift while you launch PS. You'll get a confirmation dialogue box to reset the prefs.
Just in case you're not aware, the shortcuts affect layer blend modes, and also tool blend modes. If you have any painting tool selected while you shift-plus or shift-minus, it will change the tool blending mode, and the layer mode will remain as it was. Only with the move tool selected does the layer blend mode change by key command.

Changing blend mode while PS is applying a filter makes layer "invisible".

Came across this by chance.
I applied a D&S filter and, while PS was busy "calculating", I hit Shift-Opt-K, to set blend mode "darken".
That did set the blens mode, but also somehow made the layer have no effect. Going back in history to before the "Change blend mode" and re-doing it worked.
Screenshots:
Layer has no effect:
Stepping back, still nothing:
On step further back in history; works as expected.
Apply blend mode "Darken" again. Now it works:

I was able to reproduce this in CS6 and CS5.
Thanks for the report!

Blending Mode: Hue; any suggestions where this option is located?

Following a tutorial on youtube a technique is mentioned to use to one color into another; Blending Mode: Hue. Does anyone know where this option is located in Photoshop Elements 6.0?

Not having seen the tutorial, either one of the layer blending modes
or paint tool blending modes.

Hue Blend Mode Confusion

Hello,
In reading about the Hue blend mode, I have come to understand (perhaps erroneously) that given two layers (T)op and (B)ottom, that if the Blend Mode of T is set to Hue, then the hue information in T will be blended with the saturation and luminosity in B, which essentially means that the hue information in B is replaced by the hue information in T. However, in running some experiments, I've noticed that when dealing with a very simple document comprised of two layers only, that setting the Blend Mode to Hue also changes the saturation and brightness.
Here are the steps to duplicate the observed phenomena using two regular layers:
Create a new blank document.
Fill with the color that corresponds to the HSB values (0, 70, 50).
Add a new layer above the existing layer (blend mode Normal).
Fill the topmost layer with the color that corresponds to the HSB values (230, 70, 50).
Using the Info panel, the HSB values for the document should read as (230, 70, 50).
Change the Blend Mode of the topmost layer to Hue.
Using the Info panel, the HSB values for the document should read as (230, 70, 50), but instead read as (230, 66, 53).
And here are the steps to duplicate the observed phenomena using a regular layer and an adjustment layer:
Create a new blank document.
Fill with the color that corresponds to the HSB values (0, 70, 50).
Add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer (blend mode Normal).
Adjust the Hue value in the Properties panel for the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to be -130.
Using the Info panel, the HSB values for the document should read as (230, 70, 50).
Change the Blend Mode for the Hue/Saturation layer to be Hue.
Using the Info panel, the HSB values for the document should read as (230, 70, 50), but instead read as (230, 66, 53).
The results in both (for me) are identical. Am I misunderstanding the Hue blend mode?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Chris,
Thanks very much for your straightforward and helpful answer. So, it would appear that my simplistic understanding of the Hue blend mode as 'replacing' the hue of the underlying layer(s) is incorrect. Would a fair rendering of what the Hue blend mode actually does be as follows?
"The Hue blend mode will perform a direct replacement of the hue in the underlying layer(s). The brightness and saturation of the underlying layer(s) will not be affected *unless* the resultant hue, saturation, and brightness 3-tuple would result in an illegal HSL combination, in which case the saturation and brightness of the resultant pixels will be altered to bring the HSL values into compliance."
Also, is there a way for the Info panel to display HSL values?
Thanks again,
Matt

Color blend mode / Color brush mode doesn't work

Hello,
I have CS3, working on Windows 7/64. For some reason, I cannot get color modes to work. I would like to be able to sample a color from one area, and use a brush set on "color" instead of "normal" to paint. Instead, all it does is darken and make gray whatever color it is trying to brush over. If I try to leave the brush on "normal" but the layer blend mode to "color," nothing at all happens. When I try changing the layer blend mode to anything else, (screen/normal/difference/etc), it works as it is supposed to. Any ideas how I could fix this? Thank you so much in advance!!

Hello!
I have the same question, and what are the colors you are trying to paint on and with?
Did you try to reset the brush tool by right-clicking its leftmost icon in the Option bar?
