Now, Blending Options are one of the first things Photoshop Novices stumble upon. The infancy of adding layer styles often leads to a short period of horrible drop shadows and cringeworthy bevels. Ironicly, this easily available styling is one of the harder things to master. Blending options is all about manipulating individual layers to obtain a certain effect.

Spare time fluctuates wildly these days- some days are long with homework, preperations, reading and so on- while others are fairly easy. The easy ones where im home early almost makes me feel guilty, cuz i know i ought to spread out the things i need to do- but usually i drop infront of my computer to relax or take 2 hour naps.
