In this lesson you will learn how the blending mode menu is organized and how to get started using them.Note: The downloadable practice files for this lesson are contained in a single compressed .zip file. You'll need to double-click on the fill after downloading to expand the file before using the practice images.Note: This lesson does not have a PDF companion guide available.

NOTE: Some Windows users have reported issues accessing the video playback controls. While we're working on the issue, here's a Temporary Workaround: Click "Introduction" in the table of contents to the right of the video and then immediately click within the video to give it focus. After doing so, use the spacebar to play/pause the video and the left/right arrow keys to scrub forward or backward within the video.
