Photoshop tip: Opacity vs. fill
In this video, I discuss the main difference between opacity and fill for layers in Photoshop. For instance, opacity can affect all layers (including layer effects) in an image, while fill only affects the layer content and not the layer effects. I’ll also show you how to create a “flare effect” using the fill option.

I have always used opacity and fill to achieve different blends but did not realize that the fill left the effect intact and only affected content. Thanks
