thats a useful post!
I haven’t fully understood these different types of layer settings well enough to explain to you but I think I’m starting to be able to apply it to my artwork.
so am I... I can explain only some of them, but I can use them, and when you start trying these modes, you understand pretty quickly what are they doing and what quality they can give.
just one nuance: I bet a lot of users do not use photoshop for editing, they prefer to use different so called 'apps' with all sort of buttons / presets. they ofc will not find this info to be useful or easy to imply....
I guess some people prefer quick easy apps. I find it fun editing on my own ;)
