Guys and welcome to this new lecture about the additive category in blending modes.
Now this category here are lighting screen and the others will add colors and will brighten your colors
using of course the other layers the underlying layers.
One of its most important use is to remove a black background and it is quite important that you learn
that because it's very helpful.
And also I will show you a certain effect here of fire that you will really love.
OK.
Let's go to ghost so we have here all all not just we have a black background and we have a living room
behind it.
So this goes to be in the living room.
I can later on any minute because you know move it around or use certain effects to make it move itself.
So I need to remove this black background.
The first thing that comes to mind is to lighten the picture.
Of course lighting is the additive category and I'm going to use out just to show you.
But I really did the job the colors the black colors has been removed but I don't know if you can see
it.
I can see something on the background.
It has to be removed 100 percent.
But also it has burned the white hair.
I still have some details but this is too much.
It doesn't work.
But remember we added the colors and we lightened the colors.
I would go choose another one.
Litan liten OK.
It's just the opposite of odd.
It has removed a certain.
And also it didn't do a good job here where I can see it but my ghost is really transparent now.
Let's go and try a screen and here you are screen is the best choice.
In this case be careful.
Well I still have all the details.
No color is over whitened or oval lightened and the borders here are not really Mark.
But if you're doing a professional work it's a big deal.
Maybe I can mask this one further a bit around that and it will work.
Still using the screen.
Let's do some color dodging here.
This is not exactly what you want.
Fine.
Let's move on to another example we take here.
The sky and the sky.
Remember we are lightening the colors here.
Now the sky is orange and an orange has quite some block.
If you notice fine.
And then there is the one underneath it.
There is our famous ghost.
And this time the ghost is on a black background.
So I will put on the sky and put it to for example the screen.
Let's go easy now.
If I put on a screen you know there's the Black has disappeared.
The colors have been lightened.
It's a bit lighter than the original one.
If you remove it you can see it's a bit lighter.
So it did the job we are happy from it but we can do better.
Let's go to a lighter.
And here there is the mixture of the colors you have the orange and the black and the Grays which give
you a different color.
My ghost is still moving.
Now let's go out and put out and here while you have the fire effect.
And it's pretty powerful.
The colors have been bright to a certain level and mixed with the orange color underneath or above is
all the same.
Now let's go and change to color Dutch.
OK.
Now the color that it has certain colors so it has removed a lot of bright colors and we have a different
effect but not this.
This is already very beautiful.
This guy has become reddish with the fire here.
I mean this is really amazing.
Just a single click let's go from Colorado dodge to linear dodge and you have a totally different effect.
Give it some time here.
Now it would be very interesting also to duplicate these and to add another.
I want do it now but you can play with it.
Let's go and try the last one which is a lighter color.
Now it's real light things and things don't appear at all.
It is not visible for this example.
But yet you can see you can use it very many times.
Now here you are.
Let's take the third example that we have.
We have the sky again and I put it back to normal.
And we have another video here of our ghost.
But this time our ghost has a white background area before the other one was black back.
Now what happens if I use the screen here and it will brighten the colors.
We have white so obviously it's going to brighten the sky colors and it's going to bright and also the
dark colors here.
But let's see we go back and put it to for example screen to start with.
Now notice all the Black has disappeared.
It has been screened to the Maxima where it became white.
But what is interesting is our Gorst became orange and that's pretty cool.
If you go to our board and here you are you have the fiery effect.
But still the background has been removed.
If we go now to lighten we have more of the red color or more of the sky color red sky color and you
can play now with the linear dodge and sort to give all the effects that you want to get.
So this is the concept of the additive category where you brighten your colors using the underlying
one and not the underlying one is orange.
So these colors are becoming you know like fire.
Let's go and look at the third example that I have for you here.
We have the c this is the see here.
This is a video and we have the clouds.
Now you're not seeing both videos are bright.
This is somehow bright and the cloud is pretty bright.
What happens if I use additive on them.
Here we are.
Let's go to ours and that is the disaster that will happen but actually it doesn't have to be a disaster.
It can be you know very useful for you.
The white clothes have become very white all the gray has disappeared.
This is the additive.
It has added all the colors in between.
Now we can use also screen which will give you a nice cool effect but for these videos I think it's
like you know fading away is not so nice but still the clouds are in the sea.
Now if we go to lighter colors and that's what I want to show you.
Now you had the clouds pretty well defined the in-between colors of the gray and the White has disappeared
but we still have the gray and he really had a very nice effect.
This is about additive category where you remove the dark colors or the blocks if you want.
I like to call it like this.
And you add whatever you want as colors.
And he's a very nice example.
Using certain effects here you can animate the ghosts and it will be on the foreground of the video.
Thank you very much for listening.
I hope this was very useful.
I hope you understood very well.
And if you have any questions please post them and I will be very happy to answer them.
See you in the next lecture.
