PS Blending multiple layers... how?!? - 02-03-2009, 12:54 AM


So I did a shoot with about 125 images and I've got them into Photoshop using the Stack script.

What I want to do now is to blend all 125 images using "Lighten" but when I choose multiple layers it grays out the Blend tool.

Is there any way to apply a global blend?

Joe

Sure. Turns out it's dirt easy.

Select a layer (I selected the top layer) and change the Blend to whatever you want (in my case "Lighten").

Right click on the layer and select "Copy Layer Style"

Now select all the other layers you want to apply the blend to.

Right click on any selected layer and select "Paste Layer Style"

Wha-la. Works like a charm.

Joe
