Saving in Blending Modes other than Normal, photoshop help Options

Hm, I haven't really had to deal with this problem before but it's starting to become slightly annoying now. I'm working on a little project and I have a few parts of the design that I want to have the effect of the Overlay layer blending mode. However, if I try to merge it with a blank layer, it just reverts it to the Normal layer blending mode. I then tried to make the blank new layer the same blending mode (Overlay) and tried merging that, but nothing. I went as far as making a new file, putting the basic image in there, applying the same layer styles, and just saving it but that didn't work either. I wouldn't really have this problem if the blending mode were Soft Light since a low opacity Normal can kind of reach the same effect, but in this case, I'm stuck.

Any ideas?

No, I believe you're not getting the problem. You know how you can save an image with a transparent background but you can have a layer or whatever with low opacity on top and then when you put it on a page, it retains the opacity? I'm wanting to do the same thing but I want the layer to not have low opacity (Normal blending mode) and instead I want it to have the Overlay effect so that when I put it on the page, it looks the same as it would in the .PSD file. Nawmean?

However, I've already tried several methods like merging visible, merging it with a blank layer, merging with a blank layer with same blending mode, and etc. The only possible option, I'm guessing, would be to flatten the image entirely and just crop out that part and position it but I'm worried it'll be messed up in different browsers and/or resolutions.

Unless you mean you want an image to be in overlay effect over another image as you put it on the website? O_O;;

Hm, yeah. Something like that.
