The Power of Blend Modes
Blend modes can easily and quickly modify part or the entire image if you know how to apply them. If you’ve ever used the paintbrush or clone tool and didn’t get the expected result its probably due to the tool’s blend mode.
Blend modes control how pixels in an image are affected by a painting tool, editing tool or layer. They’re found in the layers palette and options tool bar and are set to Normal as the default. (see Figure 1 - mode changed to Multiply)

The Hemingway Cocktail Martini
I was feeling in a rather depressed mood. Today. Earlier. As I was thinking of several things ways to drink. The martini. And then it came to me in a dream. Slowly. My thirst was undeniably parched. Grasping. For liquidity.
