I think I am ALMOST finally absorbing the reason you duplicate a layer. You've made adjustments on the duplicate layer and then changed the blend mode for a different "look", rather than make all those changes on the base layer - is that for simplification or can the look you want only be achieved by working on a duplicate layer b/c you then have to change opacity? On a separate note, the "rule" you mentioned about the amount of blur being equal to your camera's megapixel size was interesting - hadn't heard of this before.
Hi Holly, thank you for your message. You are correct, I tend to use multiple layers in my workflow. I must admit that some of it comes from Photoshop 😂 Regarding your first question, the desired look can only be achieved by working on a duplicate layer. As for the blur versus megapixels, it's a traditional rule, but ultimately, it depends on the specific look you're aiming for.
great video (I much prefer the second technique). That latter technique using blend mode reminds me that you thought my idea for a blend video was a great idea. Hopefully you'll do it soon 👍
Thanks for this, the second method is great 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
