More Examples of Blend Modes

In Photoshop, blend modes affect colors differently. This document provides additional examples of the blend modes. To learn how the blend modes affect an image, refer to Blend Modes: An Introduction.
NOTES:
The examples in this document show a butterfly layer on top of a background layer.
Both layers are set to 100% opacity in all of the examples, except in the Dissolve blend mode example, where the butterfly opacity is set to 75% to better display the effects of that blend mode.
