The Overlay blend mode in Photoshop increases the intensity of layers by brightening lighter areas and darkening darker ones, creating a punchy effect.
Applying the Overlay mode means Photoshop uses Screen for tones brighter than 50% gray and Multiply for those darker, enhancing contrast effectively.
Visually, the Overlay effect is straightforward: light tones become brighter and dark tones become darker, making it ideal for enhancing image contrast.
Because of its dual nature of brightening and darkening, using Overlay can add depth and vibrancy to images, making it a favorite among photo editors.
