In this exercise I'll introduce you to the next three contrast modes which are…Vivid Light, Linear Light and Pin Light.…We're looking at that combination of Multiply and Screen that is the Hard Light…mode, as you might imagine the other contrast modes are combinations of other…Darken and Lighten pairings.…For example, let's start with Color Burn and Color Dodge, I've gone ahead and…assigned Color Burn to the left hand gradient and Color Dodge to the…right-hand gradient.…We end up with these vibrant colors.…We have this smooth transition in the middle because white drops out in the case…of Color Burn and black drops out in the case of Color Dodge, right here in the…middle of the image.…
