Re: digital negative possibilities for gum
While we're listing our favorite blending modes, I'm a big fan of Darken and Overlay. :) I agree to some extent that you don't need to know exactly what each mode does. However, I'm willing to bet that having a good understanding of blending modes will drastically improve your Photoshop work. Once you know what's happening under the hood, you can make adjustments to your image according to your choice of blending mode, and not the other way around. This, in my experience, makes a huge difference.
