Overlay mode - GIMP Beginners' Guide ep71 Video Lecture | A GIMP Guide for Beginners - Design Softwares

hi in this tutorial we continue with the
next mode overlay now what this overlay
mode does it inverts the pixel value of
the layer below multiplies it by 2 times
the pixel value of the layer above add
that to the original pixel value of the
lower layer divides by 255 and then
multiplies by the pixel value of the
original layer below and divides by 255
again now again very complicated
explanation but here is an example how
that works on what this does is it gives
you kind of a darker image also improves
the contrast if you do the Kate this
layer now and put the above layer on
overlay you see how we make this image
with much more contrast you see the
before the after version looks much more
saturated with kind of better colors
maybe sometimes can be too much so you
have to adjust the opacity but you can
use this overlay mode to very quickly
make your colors more vivid you see the
before now the after version let's go
fullscreen
how much better that looks
now again you can use this with your
paintbrush overlay choose a color go to
the right layer of course you see how
that affects the color so that's it for
this video see you in the next one
