Blending mode descriptions
In the following descriptions, these terms are used:
• The source color is the color of the layer to which the blend mode is applied.
• The underlying color is the color of the composited layers below the source layer in the Timeline panel.
• The result color is the output of the blending operation; the color of the composite.
The result color is the source color. This mode ignores the underlying color. Normal is the default mode.
Normal
The result color for each pixel is either the source color or the underlying color. The probability that the result
Dissolve
color is the source color depends on the opacity of the source. If opacity of the source is 100%, then the result color is
the source color. If opacity of the source is 0%, then the result color is the underlying color.
Each result color channel value is the lower (darker) of the source color channel value and the corresponding
Darken
underlying color channel value.
For each color channel, multiplies source color channel value with underlying color channel value and
Multiply
divides by maximum value for 8-bpc, 16-bpc, or 32-bpc pixels, depending on the color depth of the project. The result
color is never brighter than the original. If either input color is black, the result color is black. If either input color is
white, the result color is the other input color. This blend mode simulates drawing with multiple marking pens on
paper or placing multiple gels in front of a light. When blending with a color other than black or white, each layer or
paint stroke with this blend mode results in a darker color.
The result color is a darkening of the source color to reflect the underlying layer color by increasing the
Color Burn
contrast. Pure white in the original layer does not change the underlying color.
The result color is a darkening of the source color to reflect the underlying color. Pure white produces no
Linear Burn
change.
Each result pixel is the color of darker of the source color value and the corresponding underlying color
Darker Color
value. Darker Color is similar to Darken, but Darker Color does not operate on individual color channels.
Each result color channel value is the sum of the corresponding color channel values of the source
Linear Dodge (Add)
color and underlying color. The result color is never darker than either input color.
Each result color channel value is the higher (lighter) of the source color channel value and the corresponding
Lighten
underlying color channel value.
Multiplies the complements of the channel values, and then takes the complement of the result. The result
Screen
color is never darker than either input color. Using the Screen mode is similar to projecting multiple photographic
slides simultaneously onto a single screen.
The result color is a lightening of the source color to reflect the underlying layer color by decreasing the
Color Dodge
contrast. If the source color is pure black, the result color is the underlying color.
The result color is a lightening of the source color to reflect the underlying color by increasing the
Linear Dodge (Add)
brightness. If the source color is pure black, the result color is the underlying color.
Each result pixel is the color of lighter of the source color value and the corresponding underlying color
Lighter Color
value. Lighter Color is similar to Lighten, but Lighter Color does not operate on individual color channels.
Multiplies or screens the input color channel values, depending on whether or not the underlying color is
Overlay
lighter than 50% gray. The result preserves highlights and shadows in the underlying layer.
Darkens or lightens the color channel values of the underlying layer, depending on the source color. The
Soft Light
result is similar to shining a diffused spotlight on the underlying layer. For each color channel value, if the source color
is lighter than 50% gray, the result color is lighter than the underlying color, as if dodged. If the source color is darker
