Exclusion modes

[__kali__]

Other than the lovely teal colour (#013460), are there any other colours that make good exclusion blends in Photoshop or PSP?

I find that using two exclusion blends - a darkish grayish blue along with a dark green - works well in some occasions. But usually, I just stick with a blueish color. I'm a slave to it :)

Well, you know what the teal colour does... mucky yellow makes an interesting effect (#615001)... dark red (#610103) and dark pinkypurple (#61013E) will generally turn skin tones a greenish colour... darkish green (#016150) will make skin tones more pinky...

Light colours look horrible on Exclusion, so I just stick to dark shades and play with the opacity... the more grey (chroma) they include, the more they tend to obliterate the image... I find that a greyish red/brown (#614745) will make an image appear slightly rather sepiaish...

Ooooo! If you use two layers filled different with pastel colours of your choice, and set the top one to difference and the bottom one to exclusion, it looks very pretty! :D

...I'm having fun with this :P

Just wanted to say thanks, because I'm definitely noting down your tips and will try them out myself. :)
