RE: [Digital BW] Layers and BLending Modes

2007-08-03 by Alan Kearney

Peter, I've just started reading Diallo's book but I tried your description
of the procedure > new layer > new blending mode > twice! >< and in my case
the PSD image didn't change size. Started out at 284 megs and after 2
additional adjustment layers with different blending curves on each and the
results is still 284 megs.

 

Sorry, don't know what we're doing differently but something is different.

 

Alan

Subject: [Digital BW] Layers and BLending Modes

 

In Amadou Diallo's book, and other places, I have read that if you use 
an empty adjustment layer with a blending mode change, the file size 
will not grow. When I try to do this, my file size grows like with any 
other adjustment layer. I open a new adjustment layer (usually curve) 
and OK it without any changes made. At this point, the file size has 
grown. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Peter
