Photoshop Blend Modes For Games

In this fifth installment of the post processing series we learn about the math behind photoshop blend modes so that we can apply them as a post processing effect for games. Formulas for add, screen, color dodge, subtract, multiply, color burn, overlay, soft light, and vivid light are demonstrated.

YouTube recommended your channel recently, love your videos! Definitely underrated, wouldn't surprise me if this channel really takes off soon.

i’ve spent so much time trying to recreate photoshop’s overlay blend mode in my game engine and this video helped me understand it better. thanks for showing the math!

I've been a digital artist since 2010, but this is the first time I've seen how the back end of these blend modes work. This makes SO MUCH more sense now.

[Oneriwien]

Did I just watch every video you have made in 2 days? Yes. Did I learn? God, I hope so.

[TavishMcEwen]

I love the reuse of the grassy plain. it's such a nice scene :3

[Blockmaster]

I just binged almost your entire backlog. Keep going, man, you're killing it! I've learned so much from you that I have never even heard of before.

[WoodyDevs]

A simple video showing me the math behind manipulating color. And I can use it in any game engine. Perfect.

[pewter_wiz]

Looks like the youtube algorithm decided it was your time in the spotlight! I am also one of the people that was recommended one of your old videos, and ended up bingeing the whole catalogue!
That teaser looked amazing, excited to see the project

[NekotoArts]

I love the crippled neck organism that keeps saying "Acerola??"

I discovered your channel by accident last week, and I it's already one of my favourites regarding game dev and computer graphics. Keep up the good work!

[CanadianReset]

I thought that I was a textbook person but you've proven that video education can work for a person like me. I really like how you give a good taste of new information with enough guidance for me to go and figure out the details on my own. Super concise!

Love your channel!

[dreamsEGA]

Your videos have been invaluable to me in the past few weeks! Not just in the content which doesn't really apply to anything I'm doing (work on that jeez!) but your mindset and presentation is actually palatable to me compared to most tutorials or tech discussions. I'm puttering around as a programmer and just to hear you discuss these things is a sort of growth through osmosis.

[Kevroa]

Just got through watching literally all of your videos. They're all great! Keep doing what you're doing.

[goob]

Just found your channel and have been binge watching your videos. Love the balance you strike between understandability and technical depth. Your channel is absolutely a hidden gem for computer graphics nerds like me. Keep up the great work!

[cogwheel]

One taste and I was totally hooked on your grass. You're growing some quality stuff here.

[dogriffiths]

A criminally under-subscribed channel.

[latefid]

Just watched like 10 of your videos in a row i love them you must be the best gamedev/unity related channel i have ever watched. love your content

[HedgeByte]

Love the depth of these videos. Definitely going to share your videos with my friends who are also into game development. They’ve got very helpful conceptual foundations I don’t see on other channels.

[gerarddiazvidal]

Hey acerola! Youtube recommended your channel and wow it is a gold mine!

[JohnnyOlBoy]

I don't usually think about this kind of stuff, so I never knew it was this complex. great video btw
