​​Lesson 12 - Objective 2 (Tuesday) 

Now we get to the fun part of the lesson.  Now you understand what blending modes are, and are beginning to have a sense as to what they do - let's try some exercises together. Pick at least two of the exercises below to try out yourself!

Exercise: Learn to use the multiply blending mode to add a tattoo on skin.  Click the images "Tattoo Designs" and "Untattooed" to download them.  Can you add a tattoo to the girl's arm like I have in the picture at right?  Hint:  I followed the directions in the video at left.  I also had to free transform the tattoo to make it look like it wraps around her arm (I used warp).  Save your file as B12-Tattoo_Your_Name.PSD

I've added the video, "Photoshop: How to Camouflage a Face onto Gnarly, Tree Bark" just for your enjoyment - and to show you how you can use blending modes, adjustment layers, and some filters (which we'll learn more about in the next lesson) to do some amazing things.
