How to Use Blend If Sliders in Photoshop
In today’s episode, we show you how to use the Blend If sliders in Photoshop.
The Power of Blend If
You’ll be amazed at what you can do when using the Blend If sliders. You can blend based off of information from the Layer you are on, or based off of information from the rest of the image. You can also target highlights or shadows which will definitely come in handy when you are using the Dodge & Burn technique.
RGB Examples
We create a layer with the colors: Black, White, Red, Green and Blue. We then pull up our Blend If dialog. We pay attention to the two sliders. The top slider uses information from the Layer you’re currently on. The bottom slider uses information from the rest of the image. We start with our top slider and as we slide from left to right we are left with only the White color remaining. If we use the top slider and slide from right to left, the colors disappear in the opposite order. Something else that’s awesome about Blend If sliders is that you can choose your default colors.
The bottom slider uses the information from the rest of the image to see what’s going to be visible and invisible. As we drag our slider from left to right, the information is pulled based off of what we have on the underlying layer. When we drag from right to left, the lights in the image disappear first and then the darks.
The last helpful tip with Blend If is the feathering option. Hold Alt or Option which will separate our sliders and allow us to feather our blending. The same effect still applies when moving the slider from one side to another, the difference is it isn’t as choppy as it was before. When using Blend If, we do advise that you use feathering. That’ll help give a more realistic approach.
Enhancing Highlights
We create a New Layer on top of our image and paint white over the area we want to add highlights. We pull up our Blend If dialog box and drag our bottom slider from left to right to start defining where our white highlights will be visible. (Remember to Feather!) We now change the Blend Mode in our dialog box from Normal to Soft Light. This really helps us add definition to our image.
Enhancing Shadows
We use a similar technique when adding shadows to our image. We create a new Layer and paint black over the areas we want shadows. We adjust our sliders to our liking and also bring down our Opacity a bit. We are now able to see how the dark areas of the image are affected in comparison to the Highlighted areas.

This is EXACTLY what I needed to fully understand Blend If. THANK YOU!
Once again you prove why you're the best Photoshop trainer on RUclips. Thanks for sharing!!!
It's funny how whenever I watch your videos I learn more in 15 minutes than I did in few years xD
thank you, I really love these tutorials :D
I've been using Blend If for a few years now... but how did I not know about splitting it with Alt?! MIND= BLOWN. Thanks Aaron!
I do not know if anyone else explains this any better, I'll never know because I fully understand it from you. You are the best.
This is immensely useful. When using Blend If in other tutorials, you tend to say, "I'm telling this layer not to be visible where the underlying layer is darker," which is confusing since the logical interpretation is "where the underlying layer is darker than this layer." Now, if "darker" actually means "dark," it makes perfect sense.
Long story short, yet another thank you :).
Thanks.... you have the best tutorials on the web. I really think your delivery and content is unbeatable.
This is the first and only video that helps me understand Blend If without making it sound so confusing. THANK YOU!!
This is one of those tutorials that gets you hyperventilating after imagining the endless possibilities of a feature.
hahaha indeed!
Great tutorial on BlendIf from a gifter teacher. Thanks for making your comments so easy to understand!
Aaron, you are the one of best tutorial maker on the net !! Super work like always Thanks for sharing
This has to be the best explanation on how the "Blend If" sliders work. Now I understand the workings I will be using this a lot more. Keep up the good work.
I appreciate the RGB and Black & White layer to show what is really going on. That made it much clearer.
Thanks!
Have used these occasionally, but never understood them... will now try this out next time I want to dodge and burn! Thanks Aaron!

+Phlearn Photoshop and Photography Tutorials What type of drawing tablet do you strictly use for Photoshop touchups and retouching?
+TheMazzken you wouldn't really have strict restrictions on tablets for retouching
+TheMazzken - He uses a WACOM tablet.

Very cool - enjoyed immensely.
Very good coverage of how to use bottom slider in practice and (in theory) the top slider.
Would love to see how top slider is used in practice, and/or both sliders in combination in practice.
Finally first! wohoo great work. I've been waiting for this.
The Best Photoshop tutorial clip in the history of the Internet!
Thanks Aaron. All your videos have changed my perspective towards Photoshop. I love your videos and your style of teaching. This video would certainly help me enhance the pictures I take. Thank you Again
This is a superb tutorial from Aaron. Blend if is not always easy to grasp but the way it is explained here is the best I have seen. Like all Aaron's tutorials well worth watching.
I had no idea those sliders could be separated! I always wondered why that useless Blend If thing existed. Now I can actually use it for stuff. Thanks :)
I've watched so many tutorials on blend if, this is the one that finally unscrambled it.
Best ever video, i will use a lot from this. always been tired using dodge and burn, no any more.
This is really good. I own several of your tutorials where you use blend if, but I didn't grasp what it really did. Now I understand the power of the tool. Thanks.
One of your best tuts ever...demystified a highly esoteric and incredibly useful feature. A+++.
Thanks, Aaron! You are phenomenal.
Thanks for the tutorial, cleared all my confusions!
this seems really useful... so happy to finally understand this!
Great tutorial with excellent example, Aaron...
Very helpful, thorough and informative!
Awesome... always have fun watching, but more importantly, learn (ooops, Phlearn)
The best tutorial I've seen in a while on Phlearn - the other tutorials are fantastic but this one really stood out. Been wanting a more in depth look at blend if for a while :)
Two tutorials this week - Awesome work Aaron, you're killing it! I love your videos man, so thanks for sharing your wisdom. ☺️
Simple and functional. Thanks a lot for sharing. High five from Bogotá, Colombia.

I stupidly forgot the password. I love any tricks you can offer me.
@Reece Pedro Instablaster =)
@Riley Easton thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
