Gimp Modes

Hi Gimp-user,

The Grokking the GIMP book uses modes in ways that I haven't seen elsewhere. Most items I have read just say experiment with modes and you'll come up with interesting effects. But Grokking actually gives some practical examples, like using Multiple to create shadows, Screen to create highlights, combining Normal with Screen, and Darken Only in a layer mask to merge two images. If you don't mind the differences in GIMP's user interface among versions, there is a lot of good stuff in Grokking the Gimp book. The terminology and basics are still the same.

Anyone seen other good examples of using various Modes?

Thank you.

Thank you for reminding me about this book. I used to loo0k at it 2 or 3 years ago and believed much of it was beyond my interest. Since then my views have changed and I shall have another look with a different attitude.

Overlay is a useful Mode for strengthening images. I also use colour when producing sepia toned image.
