The <a href=\"\/photo-editing\/layer-blend-modes\/multiply\/\">Multiply<\/a> blend mode ignores white areas and makes everything else darker. The <a href=\"\/photo-editing\/layer-blend-modes\/screen\/\">Screen<\/a> blend mode ignores black areas and makes everything else lighter, while the <a href=\"\/photo-editing\/layer-blend-modes\/overlay\/\">Overlay<\/a> blend mode ignores areas that are 50% gray and makes dark areas darker and light areas lighter, improving image contrast. <\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.adslot-pr2 { display: inline-block; width:300px; float:right; margin: 6px 0px 12px 20px; }\n@media (max-width: 767px) { .adslot-pr2 { display: none; } }\n<\/style><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x250 photo editing top responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle adslot-pr2\"     \n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"4356542292\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<p>Our fourth essential blend mode in Photoshop has nothing to do with shadows, highlights or image contrast and everything to do with color. In fact, by no sheer coincidence, it's named the <span class=\"em\">Color<\/span> blend mode, and if you recall from the <a href=\"\/photo-editing\/layer-blend-modes\/intro\/\">first page<\/a>, it's found in the <span class=\"em\">Composite<\/span> group of blend modes along with the Hue, Saturation and Luminosity modes. <\/p>\n<p>The Color blend mode is actually a combination of the first two modes in the Composite group, Hue and Saturation. When you change a layer's blend mode to Color, only the color (that is, all of the hues and their saturation values) from the layer is blended in with the layer or layers below it. The luminosity (lightness) values of the layer are completely ignored. The Color blend mode is perfect for when you want to add or change the colors in an image without changing the brightness values. As we'll see on the next page, Color is actually the exact opposite of our fifth and final essential blend mode, Luminosity, which ignores all color in the layer and blends only the lightness values. <\/p>\n<aside><p class=\"members-ad-top\"><a href=\"\/print-ready-pdfs\/\">Download all of our Photoshop tutorials as PDFs!<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n<h4>Real World Example of the Color Blend Mode<\/h4>\n<p>One of the most popular uses for the Color blend mode is to colorize black and white images. This allows you to add color to the image without affecting the lightness values. Simply add a new blank layer above your image and set the blend mode of the layer to Color. Select your Brush Tool from the Tools palette, choose the color you want to paint with, and begin painting on the layer to add your color.<\/p>\n<p>Here I have another old photo, this time of a wedding couple:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/layer-blend-modes\/wedding-couple.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop photo editing and photo retouching tutorial image\" width=\"388\" height=\"458\" \/>\n<div class=\"caption\">An old black and white photo of a wedding couple.<\/div>\n<p>Let's say we want to keep the overall image black and white but to add more interest to the photo, we want to make the roses in the bride's bouquet red. The Color blend mode makes it easy. First, we'll need to add a new blank layer above our photo, so I'll add one by clicking on the <span class=\"em\">New Layer<\/span> icon at the bottom of the Layers palette: <\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/layer-blend-modes\/new-layer-icon.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop photo editing and photo retouching tutorial image\" width=\"271\" height=\"201\" \/>\n<div class=\"caption\">Clicking on the \"New Layer\" icon.<\/div>\n<p>This adds a new blank layer above the Background layer. By default, Photoshop names the new layer \"Layer 1\", but since we'll be using this layer to colorize the roses, I'll <span class=\"em\">double-click<\/span> on the layer name in the Layers palette and rename it to \"Roses\": <\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/layer-blend-modes\/layer-1-roses.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop photo editing and photo retouching tutorial image\" width=\"271\" height=\"283\" \/>\n<div class=\"caption\">The Layers palette showing the new blank layer, \"Roses\", above the Background layer.<\/div>\n<p>If we were to simply begin painting on this layer with the Brush Tool, we'd be covering up the photo underneath, and that's because the new layer's blend mode is currently set to Normal. Since we want to add color to the image without affecting the tonal information, we need to change the layer's blend mode to <span class=\"em\">Color<\/span>: <\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/layer-blend-modes\/color-blend-mode.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop photo editing and photo retouching tutorial image\" width=\"288\" height=\"283\" \/>\n<div class=\"caption\">Changing the blend mode of the \"Roses\" layer to Color.<\/div>\n<p>Now I'll choose my <span class=\"em\">Brush Tool<\/span> from the Tools palette, and with red as my Foreground color, I'll zoom in on the roses and begin painting over them. Notice how we can still see the light and dark areas of the roses underneath the color we're painting thanks to the Color blend mode's ability to blend our new color with the image below: <\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/layer-blend-modes\/paint-roses.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop photo editing and photo retouching tutorial image\" width=\"658\" height=\"391\" \/>\n<div class=\"caption\">Painting with red inside the roses.<\/div>\n<p>I'll continue painting over the rest of the roses. Here's the image after painting all the roses with red: <\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/layer-blend-modes\/image-red-roses.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop photo editing and photo retouching tutorial image\" width=\"430\" height=\"508\" \/>\n<div class=\"caption\">The roses have now been colorized red.<\/div>\n<p>The color is a bit too intense, so I'll simply lower the <span class=\"em\">Opacity<\/span> of the \"Roses\" layer down to about 60%: <\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/layer-blend-modes\/roses-opacity.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop photo editing and photo retouching tutorial image\" width=\"271\" height=\"283\" \/>\n<div class=\"caption\">Lowering the opacity of the \"Roses\" layer.<\/div>\n<p>Now the color is much more subdued and the red seems to blend in nicely with the rest of the photo: <\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/layer-blend-modes\/wedding-roses.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop photo editing and photo retouching tutorial image\" width=\"430\" height=\"508\" \/>\n<div class=\"caption\">The image after lowering the opacity of the \"Roses\" layer.<\/div>\n<p>If we wanted to, we could continue colorizing the rest of the image, but I like the effect of having just the roses in color. Of course, this is just one example of how useful the Color blend mode is, and it's certainly not limited to restoring old photos. The Color mode is just as handy for changing colors in your new digital photos. To change someone's eye color, for example, simply select the person's eyes, add a <span class=\"em\">Hue\/Saturation<\/span> adjustment layer, drag the Hue slider left or right to select the color you want, and then change the blend mode of the Hue\/Saturation layer to Color. <\/p>\n<p>We've now looked at four of the five essential blend modes for photo editing in Photoshop. Up next is our fifth and final blend mode, the <a href=\"\/photo-editing\/layer-blend-modes\/luminosity\/\">Luminosity blend mode<\/a>, which is the exact opposite of the Color mode!
