Blending modes are one of the unsung heroes of Photoshop, providing multiple effects that B can be applied to any image layer. Of course, some are more relevant to photographers than others, but one that you should familiarise yourself with is Multiply, which is a ‘darkening’ blending mode. Not only does Multiply darken, it also applies a degree of transparency to layers – allowing the underlying Layer to show through.
