I just switched to Gimp from Photoshop. I mainly use it to create 2D images of clothing which is then imported into a 3D engine for usage on avatars. I have gone through tutorials and feel I understand blending modes.
The one issue I have with Gimp is that for example I derive an outfit from let's say an image of a Red Dress. I want to make one that is Blue. So I create a new layer and use a foreground color of Blue. When the layer blends with the layer below the Blue for example with Red I don't always get the exact shade I want. I have tried all the main blending modes and still am not happy.
With Photoshop I was able to create an adjustment layer and remove most of the color from the Red layer so that it blended properly and gave me the correct shade of blue I wanted.
There are no adjustment layers with Gimp. What is the best way to remove the color the color of bottom layer so that the Red is removed and leaves a light gray or almost white layer?
