using the layer blend modes. Now, what

we're going to do is add a little bit of

visual flare to liven the image up a

little bit. And this will also hide some

of the errors and some of the less

precise masking that we did. So, what

we're going to do is open up our project

folder.

And I've got this kind of abstract

pattern here. So, I'm going to bring

that in.

And I'm just dragging those bounding

boxes so that it fits the frame.

And we we're going to want to put this

underneath on the layers panel so that

the subject is on top. Next, where it

says normal here, these are the blend

modes. So, we want to adjust these blend

modes. And you'll see that as I go

through these, the modes do different

things. So it can go um lighter or

darker,

multiply the image. I generally think

overlay or soft light looks the best for

this. So let's go with overlay. And I

can already see that some of those

imperfections are being taken away and

hidden by that overlay. And the other

thing that we can do is come into the

adjustment layer. So, making sure I'm

clicked on this layer, going into

adjustments,

and um we can adjust the different

levels over here. There's no right or

wrong way to do this. You kind of just

want to go through the different

settings and make sure that you're

getting the colors that you want out of

it. And generally with thumbnails, you

want to have fairly bright, vibrant

colors to catch people's attention.
