works for this particular clip and texture, but of course it depends on the clip and the tex-
ture which blend mode you should use. To try out different blend modes to see which one
looks best to you, press Shift-+ (plus sign) , and each time you press that, it toggles over to
another blend mode. Just stop at the one you think looks best. For this combination, I think
we should lower the Opacity of this layer to around 60% to help it blend a bit better.
Step Four:
Even though the blend looks nice, the texture is totally covering her face, and that's gen-
erally not what we're going for. So, we're going to fix this pretty easily by: (1) Adding a
layer mask to this texture layer by clicking on the Add Layer Mask icon at the bottom of
the Layers panel (it's the third icon from the left. Then, (2) get the Brush tool (B) from
the Toolbar, choose a really large, soft-edged brush from the Brush Picker up in the Op-
tions Bar—make the brush size a bit larger than her head—and set your Foreground color
to black (press D , then X ). Finally, (3) just click once or twice right over her face. It cuts
a hole in that texture, but the hole has soft edges because you chose a soft-edged brush, so
the whole thing blends beautifully.
