Cumulative impact of Photoshop opacity settings

An understanding of how the opacity setting on each layer impact results when blending multiple-exposure images in Photoshop is key to obtaining the result you desire.

This video provides a visual explanation of how opacity functions in a multi-layer environment, along with tips on how you can test and control opacity to ensure you achieve an optimal outcome.
