Photoshop's "Blend If" Explained | Pixel-Perfect Transparency in Seconds
These two sliders might be the most powerful feature in Photoshop, and most users have never touched them.The Blend If sliders let you make any pixel transparent based on its brightness or color channel. No selections, no masks, no extra steps. You control exactly which tones stay visible and which ones disappear, all from the Layer Style window.
In this tutorial, you'll learn how Blend If works from the ground up, starting with Current Layer and Underlying Layer sliders, then moving into individual RGB channels. You'll see how to composite a moon into a sky, place a jet behind clouds, add realistic snow to a portrait, and pull off a full sky replacement using nothing but Blend If.
Whether you're brand new to Photoshop or you've been using it for years without touching these sliders, this tutorial changes how you think about blending.
In this video, you'll learn:
- How to use the Current Layer sliders to hide pixels by brightness
