396 CHAPTER 10 ADVANCED COMPOSITING Figure 10-19. Use Blur and then Grain extract for a tintype effect. Compositing Unrelated Images So far, you ve used layer modes to combine an image with itself (perhaps after minor modifications such as blur or offset). But, of course, you can use layer modes to combine two different images as well. Using Soft Light for Combining Images Soft light mode is a real workhorse for combining just about any two images (Figure 10-20). Copy an image and paste it as a new layer over a different image, and you ll probably get a fun result (Figure 10-21). As a rule, use the less distinct image as the background, since it will slightly dominate the combination. You can also use Soft light to give the effect of objects reflected from water or glass. As a strange side-effect, self-compositing with Soft light doesn t do what you d expect: it doesn t soften the image. Instead, you ll get a very nice increase in brightness and contrast. Even pictures you think are just fine can be surprisingly enhanced, with no fake look at all.
