I'm sure we're all familiar with Photoshop's blending modes. Multiply, Screen, Soft Light and Overlay are among the most commonly used, but have you ever heard of Behind and Clear?! Despite decades of Photoshop experience, I only discovered these two elusive blend modes recently. I'll be honest, they aren't going to completely transform your Photoshop experience, but they're useful options to know about for those
rare occasions when you just might need them!

Blending modes in Photoshop are mostly used in combination with layers, but they are also incorporated into some tool-specific options. Behind and Clear are two additional blending modes that are exclusive to the Brush, Shape, Paint Bucket and Pencil tools. They can be found in the toolbar at the top of the screen whenever the relevant tools are active, within the Mode dropdown menu, or activated directly
with the Shift+ALT+Q and Shift+ALT+R shortcuts respectively.
