Photoshop tutorials: Blending modes

It's never to late to show the effects of the blending options in Photoshop (exspecially for newbies). That's why I took an image of Tetsu (also known as a member of L'Arc~en~Ciel) and a texture (found at Feel) to demonstrate the different effects. If you start working with blending modes make sure you have two different layers - one for the original image and one texture-layer. Also make sure the Layer window is open >.<. If you don't know where it or/ and the blending mode are located have a look at this graphic: Screenshot.
