Using blending modes to remove white or black
I am constantly amazed at the different things that you can do with Blending Modes in Photoshop. And here, I want to show you yet another technique that you can use. And that is how you can use the Multiply and the Screen Blending Modes, to get rid of either black or white. We'll be working with two different files, so we can really understand how this technique works. We'll start off with this file here. Here you can see we have two versions of the lynda.com logo. Let's click into the layer where we have the logo which is white in the background which is black. As you'll see on this layer, it's named logo blend with Screen mode. Now, if we select the screen Blending Mode, what this allows us to do is to quickly and easily get rid of the black background. And this is pretty fascinating isn't it? All of a sudden this looks much better. Now here, if we click and drag and move this around, it may be difficult to see, but what you may discover is that you won't have 100% white. Keep in…
