Any difference between these?

1) Create new layer, fill with white, set blend mode to overlay.

2) Duplicate image (or add new "empty" adjustment layer), set blend mode to screen.

Alternative version of the same question would be to substitute black for white in 1, and multiply for screen in 2. But either way, is there any difference between the two methods?

Well ... they look vastly different to me.

No, To me its the same grey, black and blue.

They are different.

Here is an explanation of blend modes and the math behind each one:

Thanks, I've been looking for something like that.

I can usually experiment and get what I want, but I feel like there's so much more that I could do, with a better understanding of all the blend modes.

Huh?

I understand how blend modes work, but overlay is capable of both multiplying and screening at the same time. I was wondering if things would behave any differently if set up in the manners I listed originally.

I would disagree and say there's a hint of green, but I'm looking through a wine bottle so best listen to Lowner

Great information in the link.
I sure needed that as well.
