Hi All,
I am fairly new to Photoshop and color modes, hence why I'm posting this here...
I was wondering if anyone can help me understand CYMK color mode. In RGB gradients seem a little transparent.
There is this really cool effect I like which I've previously done in RGB mode, where I gradient a layer, change the blend mode of that layer to color, then have fill the underlying layer in black, then use a brush on a new layer, between the gradient and black layer to show the underlying gradient show through the black layer. Clearly I don't know the techincal term (if there is one) for this particular effect.
Anyway, if I try this in CYMK when I try go to fill the next layer in black, you can faintly see the gradient through the black.
Has anyone noticed this before or am I doing something wrong? Or is there any valid/technical explanation?
I appreciate any help and advise
Thanks
James
