Color Blend

Description

This effect accepts two images as inputs and creates a third one by applying a color blend technique chosen among a list of presets.

Properties

• Blending Mode : Choose the compositing effect to apply
  Default : Normal

• Opacity Src : Sets the opacity for the source image
  Default : 1.0

• Opacity Dst : Sets the opacity for the destination image
  Default : 1.0

Blending modes

The Blending Mode is used to determine how the Source and the Destination layers color channels (R, G and B) interact with each other to produce the output Image as a result. More information on color blend modes.

Note that the blend occurs only where both images overlap each other, and in the examples below, the corners of Destination where Source has no image remain the same in every output.

Normal		Uses only Source, without mixing with Destination
Dissolve		Takes random pixels from both layers. Requires Source Opacity to be less than 1 (here 0.8)
Darken		Opposite of Lighten. For each pixel retain the lowest component of each color channel of each layer.
Multiply		Multiplies the values of Source with those in Destination, effectively darkening each pixel.
Color Burn		Divides the inverted Destination with the Source, then inverts the result. This effectively darkens the Source, increasing the contrast to reflect the color in the Destination.
Linear Burn		Sums the value in both layers and then subtracts 1. This darkens the image and is the same as inverting each layer, then adding them together, then inverting the result again.
Darker Color		Keeps the darker color of Destination or Source. Here Source is unaffected by Destination.
Lighten		Opposite of Darken. For each pixel retain the highest component of each color channel of each layer.
Screen		Opposite effect of Multiply, effectively lightening each pixel. Inverts each channel value, then multiplies them, then inverts the result again.
Color Dodge		Divides the Destination by the inverted Source. This effectively lightens the Destination depending on the value of Source.
Linear Dodge (Add)		Sums the Destination and the Source, effectively lightening the image.
Lighter Color		Keeps the lighter color of Destination or Source. Here Destination Opacity was lowered to 0.8 to see the effect.
Overlay		Combination of Multiply and Screen blend modes. Where the Destination is light, the Source become lighter. Where the Destination is dark, the Source becomes darker. Where the Destination is mid gray, the Source is unaffected.
Soft Light		A variation of the Overlay effect with a more pronounced impact.
Hard Light		Another combination of Multiply and Screen, but functioning the other way around as Overlay
Vivid Light		Combines Color Dodge and Color Burn. The dodge applies when values in the Source are lighter than mid gray. The burn applies when values in the Source are darker than mid gray.
Linear Light		Combines Linear Dodge and Linear Burn. The dodge applies when values in the Source are lighter than mid gray. The burn applies when values in the Source are darker than mid gray.
Pin Light		Performs a Darken and Lighten blend simultaneously.
Hard Mix		Adds the RGB channels of the two layers together. The resulting image’s colors can only be black, white, or any of the six primary colors: red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, or yellow.
Difference		Subtracts the values of one layer by that of the other or the other way around so as to always have a non-negative value.
Exclusion		Similar to the Difference mode but with a lower contrast.
Substract		Sums the values in the layers then subtracts 1. Affected by white unlike Linear Burn.
Divide		Divides pixel values of one layer by that of the other.
Hue		Preserves the luma and chroma of the Destination, while adopting the hue of the Source
Saturation		Preserves the luma and hue of the Destination, while adopting the chroma of the Source.
Color		Preserves the luma of the Destination, while adopting the hue and chroma of the Source.
Luminosity		Preserves the hue and chroma of the Destination, while adopting the luma of the Source.
