In this tutorial, I compare the Blend If layer option in Photoshop CC 2020 with the Color to Alpha Filter found in GIMP 2.10.18. These programs each have great tools for creating effects such as blending textures from a layer onto another layer (i.e. making a graphic or text appear as if it is painted on a wall). The difference being that GIMP is a totally free Photo Editor, while Photoshop costs a subscription fee. I show you how to work the tools in both programs, providing a direct comparison.

Thank you for this... This can be a great option for background removal when you have a solid color background without the need to use any selection tool ;)

My main usecase for Color to Alpha is when I receive icons or logos that are placed on a solid background instead of being saved as .png with alpha channel (transparent background), I can simply create the alpha channel and use them cleanly. Sometimes you just have to clean up the inside of a logo in case there are white spots that shouldn't become transparent. Very useful and essential for my needs. IDK how Photoshop still does not have an option to generate the same result. Blend If is nowhere nearly as powerful.

You, sir, are brilliant! Great tutorial! Question: how appropriate is it to use "Color to alpha" to remove a solid color background from an image? I tried it and while it worked, I found some "noise" (or leftover traces of the removed color) that I didn't like. Thanks for posting!

Thank you very very much. Extremely useful 😂❤. There is a option on photoshop for changing the brush size in by hold Alt + Right mouse button and moving the mouse right and left and for changing the hardness by moving up and down and this is very easy. is there option like that in gimp.

correct me if i'm wrong, but this color to alpha can be used to cut hair, right? i mean, when we take a picture of an person, its not like he hair of the persons is either full opaque of full transparent, it has a lot of subpixels mixing the color or the hair with the color of the background. by taking an picture of some one in an easy to remove background (eg: green screen) this effect should be usefull to make the hair looks natural in any background

hmm. I think "color to alpha tool" making a mask is better than modifying image. Raw data conservation is very important.
