Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 420 Great uses for Color and Gradient Overlay, part of Deke's Techniques.
- In this movie I'm gonna show you some uses…for a couple of layer effects…that you may not use very often inside Photoshop,…specifically color overlay and gradient overlay.…And we're gonna use those effects…in order to take the image from the previous movie,…and transform it into this artwork right here,…which helps add some shading to the foreground statue,…and set the rear statue farther in the background.…So I'll go ahead and switch over to my image so far…and I'm gonna click on statue number two…in order to select it, and then I'll drop down…to the FX icon and choose Color Overlay.…
Now, a lot of folks are pretty mystified by this effect…when they first encounter it, because by default it just…goes ahead and slathers a bunch of red over the layer.…That obviously is not what we want, and so the way to…create some sort of interaction between the color,…whatever it is, and the layer, is to change the blend mode.…And so what I'm gonna go is change the mode to Multiply…as we're seeing right here, and I'm also gonna reduce…
