I can't cycle through the blending modes when I use Shift + I've also tired Shift Alt + What am I doing wrong?

I'm using two layers, a solid on top of a photo. The solid layer is highlighted. I'd be such a helpful shortcut to know. I appreciate anyone's troubleshooting. Thanks.

I typically cycle through blend modes by clicking once on the blend modes dropdown menu and using the up and down keys, or the mouse scroll wheel to quickly cycle through them.

Awesome. Glad to hear! There is a great explanation of blend modes over at CGTextures under their tutorials section that is a great way to take some of the guess work out of blend modes too.

Cheers!
