Normal
Composites the layer on top of underlying layers.
Dissolve
Randomly replaces layer colors with colors from underlying layers, based on layer transparency. (The
Advanced 3D rendering plug-in doesn’t support the Dissolve blending mode.)
Dancing Dissolve
Functions the same as Dissolve, except that the placement of random color changes varies over
time. (The Advanced 3D rendering plug-in doesn’t support the Dancing Dissolve blending mode.)
Darken
Compares the channel values of the underlying and layer colors and displays the darker of the two. Speci-
fying this mode can cause color shifts in layers with color.
Multiply
Multiplies the color values in the layers and divides the result by the maximum pixel value of either 8-bpc,
16-bpc, or 32-bpc pixels depending on which mode you are in. The resulting color is never brighter than the original.
Linear Burn
Looks at the color information in each layer and darkens the original layer color to reflect the under-
lying color by decreasing the brightness. Pure white produces no change.
Color Burn
Looks at the color information in each layer and darkens the original layer color to reflect the underlying
layer color by increasing the contrast. Pure white in the original layer does not change the underlying color. This
mode is the same as the Color Burn blending mode in Photoshop.
