Screen Blending Modes
Photoshop has many different ways of blending
layers. Different blending modes determine how
the pixels on one layer effect the pixels on
other layers beneath it.
The Screen blending mode is available with
all the other blending modes on the layers
window. Screen blending mode brightens the
underlying layers depending on how bright the
screened layer's pixels are. If the screened
pixel is black, it will look completely
transparent. A white pixel will be white.
A screened black layer can be used to add lens
flares and other bright things to a picture with
the option to remove, filter or fade them.
For Example
I've found a picture and created a new new
layer above it. Then filled the layer with black
and added a lens flare.

Lens Flare with NORMAL Blending

COLOR DODGE blending
Now adding any filters to the lens flare layer
will only effect the lens flare. There is now also the option later on to delete the lens
flare layer or change it, offering more flexibility to your photoshop files.
Conclusion
Different blending modes offer a different effect. Use the one which stimulates your optic
nerves in the best way.
