Coming to you from Blake Rudis’s Academy f64This amazing video tutorial will show you five hidden gems in Photoshop and how to use them for better photo editing. My personal favorite is BlendIf. The basic idea behind BlendIf is actually pretty simple: you’re telling Photoshop how to combine two layers based on their respective brightness values (or individual channel information). You can then make this adjustment to make the transitions smoother and the edits less obvious, allowing you to very quickly and efficiently do things like adjust the blend to just the highlights. or darkness without going through tons of complicated masks. That being said, because it’s attached to a specific layer, you can create more precision through manual masking if you so choose. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Rudis.
