Add
Add increases brightness by adding the color values of the blending layer to the base layer. The brighter the colors you add, the brighter the result becomes, making it useful for…
Add (Glow)
Add (Glow) creates a stronger, more luminous effect than Add. It brightens the base layer by adding color values, but produces a more intense glow, particularly around soft or partially transparent…
Overlay
Overlay combines the effects of Multiply and Screen to increase contrast. Dark areas become darker, while light areas become lighter, with the base layer determining which effect is used. The Math…
Soft Light
Soft Light is a gentler, more diffuse version of Overlay. It lightens or darkens the colors underneath based on the brightness of the blending color, creating subtle contrast changes without the…
Hard Light
Hard Light combines the effects of Multiply and Screen based on the brightness of the blending layer. Colors lighter than 50% gray brighten the image, while colors darker than 50% gray…
Difference
Difference compares the colors of the blending layer and the base layer, then keeps the difference between them. The result can dramatically change the colors, producing high-contrast, inverted, and often surreal…
Vivid Light
Vivid Light combines the effects of Color Burn and Color Dodge to create an intense contrast effect. The brightness of the blending color determines which effect is used: darker colors deepen…
Linear Light
Linear Light combines Linear Burn and Linear Dodge to create an intense contrast effect. The brightness of the blending color determines whether the base is darkened or brightened, with 50% gray…
Pin Light
Pin Light combines Lighten and Darken to selectively replace colors in the base layer. Depending on the brightness of the blending color, it keeps either the lighter or darker values, producing…
Hard Mix
Hard Mix adds the RGB values of the blending layer to the base layer, then forces each channel to either its minimum or maximum value. The result is an extremely high-contrast,…
