Image>Apply Image

Hello folks,

Recently, I've stumbled upon the "Apply Image" command via Images>Apply Images. (images must be same dimensions)

I found 2 arcane blending modes, "Add" & "Subtract". As usual, their explained in the help but still leaves me curious.

Add : adds the pixel values in two channels. Good way to combine nonoverlapping images in two channels.

Subtract: subtracts the pixel values in the source channel from the corresponding pixels in the target channel.

I can use the scale an offset to lighten and darken.

This "Apply Image" permanently modifies a image to your work. I don't like permanent because I'm always going back to tweak. Does anyone use this feature on a regular basis?

Thanks

I cant say that I do to be honest. I am aware of the rudiments also, but rarely find a use for them (probably, partly through ignorance;)).

Don't worry about it being 'permanent', could you not just apply a layer comp? (presuming you have CS).

I hear ya....

Seems useful with the tutorial I'm doing (PSmostwanted2).

Agreeable on the layer comp solution also. I just got so use to adjustment layer... :rolleyes:
