Select an object or group in the Layers panel.
Learn how to isolate and apply blending modes to control how overlapping colors and objects interact.
Blending modes define how overlapping colors blend. Use them to create effects like Multiply, Screen, or Overlay, adding depth, contrast, and texture to your artwork.
For example, if you want to darken an object in your artwork without hiding what’s behind it, you can use the Multiply blending mode to layer shadows or darker shapes.
Select Window > Transparency.
Select a blending mode from the Blending Mode drop-down menu in the Transparency panel.
To change the blending mode of a fill or stroke, select the artwork, and then select the Fill or Stroke in the Appearance panel.
Select the target icon next to the layer or group in the Layers panel. Then, in the Transparency panel, select Isolate Blending.
To select all objects using the same blending mode:
Deselect all objects.
In the Transparency panel, choose the desired blending mode.
Go to Select > Same > Blending Mode to highlight matching objects.
