Blending Options Multiply: Multiply is used to give a higher contrast image with deeper tones.

In order to get this look you should duplicate the layer, and then select Multiply from the blending options to the layer above the background.

To dramatically change the photo, I used a different image and used Hard Light from the blending options.

Hard Light: In a picture like the one above hard light emphasizes the top layer over the background layer. Hard Light uses a mix of Linear Burn and Linear Dodge to create a blending mode similar to Overlay, but harsher.

Where as, Soft Light makes the background show through more than the layers above. See example above. Soft Light: This blend mode uses a combination of Screen and Multiply. This is also similar to the Overlay option as well, but results in a softer look. To finish my photo, I created a solid colour on a separate layer and used the Hue blending option to tint the picture red.

Hue: This blending option keeps the colour of the selected layer and blends with the luminosity and saturation of the underlying layers. Other Blending Options: Darken: If pixels of the selected layer are darker than the underlying layers, they are kept. If they are lighter, they are replaced with darker tones from the lower layer. (See figure below).

Lighten: Lighten is similar to darken but instead, if the pixels are lighter than the layers below, they are kept, and if they are darker they are replaced from the underlying layers. (See figure below)

Screen: Screen works similarly to Lighten, but removes darker pixels resulting in a brighter picture, with smoother transitions.

Overlay: This blending mode uses a combination of Screen for the lighter pixels and Multiply for the darker pixels. Overlay is similar to Soft Light, but is subtler. (See figure below).

Vivid Light: This blend mode uses a combination of Colour Dodge on lighter pixels and Colour Burn mode on the darker pixels. Its similar to the Hard Mix but more extreme in its effects.

Saturation: This mode keeps the saturation of the active layer and blends it with the hue and luminosity of the underlying layers.

Colour: This blending mode keeps the colour of the active layer and blends with the hue and luminosity of the underlying layers.

Luminosity: This blending mode keeps the luminosity of the active layer and blends with hue and saturation of the underlying layers.

All of the blend modes come in different groups, which are: Normal Group: Normal Dissolve
