I've never heard of Photoshop's Blend If, but it appears to add two luma keyers into the mix: one that looks at the top image and one that looks at the bottom image. The results would be combined and then fed into the blue node of the merge.
So if you're wanting to have your paint appear on the bricks (darker) but not on the grout (brighter) you would feed a LumaKeyer from the wall and adjust it to key out brighter areas, then feed the resulting mask into the mask (blue) node of the Merge. Apply the appropriate transfer mode in the Merge, where the wall is the BG and the paint is the FG.
At least that's how I understand a blog posting on Blend If.
