In this “Three Minutes Max” video, Jesús Ramirez shows off an easy way to blend Photoshop layers, based on the color channels in the images. This method allows for easy adjustments that only affect one layer, and not the entire image.
Wondering how Jesús got that banana in the toolbar? It’s a Photoshop “easter egg,” which you can read about here.
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes (max!) to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
