Introduction
- The effects created by Blending Modes usually appear far too strong until the Opacity Slider is used to reduce the effect.
- The Fill Slider usually has just the same effect as the Opacity Slider, however, with certain Blending Modes the effect is very different and acts like a strength slider. Here the Opacity Slider can be used in combination with it. This makes many more Blending Modes usable and useful. (Ref).
- There are also interesting effects when Layer Effects are applied to Text.
