Absolutely brilliant work!
This is by far the best blend if lesson is have watched. Thank you so much for this.
I'm glad you found it helpful
I have used blenif for some time, but it is always useful to listen to someone else, and in this case I found your tutorial enlightening. More in terms of reminding me about the tool's simplicity and usefulness, the adding a color in blend if had never occurred to me. I also like the non-punchy delivery. Excellent, thank you.
Terrific. Helped me understand a subject that is hard to understand.
Glad it helped
Muchas gracias!!!
Your a very good teacher.
GREAT explanation. For me this topic has been trial and error.
Sometimes when my mind stops working, I just slide any sliders and see what happens 😄
Thanks a lot Hoit for this very clear tutorial👏👏👏Very useful
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial, thank you. This is the best explanation i've seen and now I think I finally get it! Would love to see how you did the collage as well. All the best!

I have yet to see a video that explains BLEND-IF point out that this is a BLENDING function ... as in affecting the Blending mode.
Note in your video (and all videos explaining Blend-If) that the default blending mode is NORMAL.
What is a "normal" blend mode? It's the top layer covering anything on the bottom layer when the alpha channel is fully opaque.
So when you change the Current Layer slider you're telling Photoshop "to have/not have that blend mode on that luminosity value" under the NORMAL blend mode which means make it translucent.
Change the blend mode to, say, Screen and then you're telling Photoshop on the Current Layer slider "to have/not have that blend mode on that luminosity value" under SCREEN mode.
BLEND the two layers _IF_ the values on the sliders allow them.
It's called Blend-If for a reason and I've yet to see a video point this out.
And personally, I think Blend-If should be its own thing (adjustment layer? it's own dialogue box?) and not a part of the "Layer Styles" dialogue box.
Thanks for taking the time to provide detailed comments @Mikemenn.
Yes, the Blend-If function blends two or more layers depending on (i) the pixel values selected on the 'Current Layer' and 'Underlying Layer' sliders and (ii) the channel selected. Though it does not change any of the 27 blending modes from the Layers panel, which I assume is what you mean by "affecting the Blending mode".
This is why at around 20:40, I changed the blend mode from Normal to Soft Light when I simulated the light reflections on the model's hair. Also, the equation for the Screen blend mode is 1 - [(1 - tonal value of pixel on base layer) x (1 - tonal value of pixel on blend layer)]. This equation (and the equations of all other blending modes) doesn't change whether or not Blend-If is used.
To this extent, the 27 blending modes from the Layers panel are not really relevant for the functioning of Blend-If. Of course, it is relevant if you want to change the blending mode like in any other use case.
