About Blend Modes

Applies the text to the underlying image with the specified color. Only opacity affects this blend.

Combines the text color with the inverse of the underlying photo color, resulting in a color that is the same or lighter.

Combines the text color with the underlying photo to produce a darker color. Multiplying any color with black produces black; multiplying any color with white leaves the color unchanged.

Combines the text color with the underlying pixels in the photo to produce a lighter color.

Combines the text color with the underlying pixels in the photo to produce a darker color.

Preserves the shadows and highlights of the lower layers while applying either Multiply or Screen blend mode based on the underlying image area's color values.

Subtracts the text color from the color of the underlying photo. Any white in the text produces a true negative of the color in the image, while black produces no effect.

Applies pixels in the text that are darker than the underlying image. Pixels in the text that are lighter than the underlying image disappear (based on RGB values).

Applies pixels in the text that are lighter than the underlying image. Pixels in the text that are darker than the underlying image disappear (based on RGB values).

Adds strong highlights or shadows by applying Multiply or Screen based on the underlying image area's color values.

Adds soft highlights or shadows by darkening or lightening based on the underlying image area's color values.

Applies the hue value of colors in the text to the color of the underlying image areas.

Applies the saturation value of colors in the text to the color of the underlying image areas.

Applies the hue and saturation of the text to the image. This blend does not affect the luminance of the underlying image.

Applies the lightness value of colors in the text to the color of the underlying image areas.

Randomly replaces the pixels with the image (base) or text (blend) color, depending on the opacity at any pixel location.

Like Difference, but with less contrast, Exclusion subtracts the text (blend) color from the color of the underlying photo. Any white in the text produces a true negative of the color in the image, while black produces no effect.

Combines the text (blend) color with the underlying pixels in the photo by increasing or decreasing contrast to produce a lighter or darker color, as determined by the blend color.

When the light source is lighter than 50% gray, the pixels darker than the light source are replaced. Pixels lighter than the light source remain the same. When the light source is darker than 50% gray, the pixels lighter than the light source are replaced. Pixels darker than the light source remain the same.

Dodges or burns by lightening or darkening the brightness value, depending on the text (blend) color.

Applies red, green, and blue channel values of the text (blend) color to the RGB values of the image.

Subtracts the text color from the image (base) color in each channel.

Divides the text color from the image (base) color.

From the text color and the image (base) color, the lower channel values are chosen.

From the text color and the image (base) color, the higher channel values are chosen.
