|
Screen |
Makes colors lighter by combining lighter values. Black has no effect, while white turns the result white. |
|
Overlay |
Mixes Multiply and Screen to keep highlights and shadows while blending colors. |
|
Soft Light |
Lighten or darken colors gently, like a soft spotlight. Lighter blend colors brighten the image, while darker colors darken it. |
|

|

Creates contrast by subtracting one color from the other. White inverts colors, while black has no effect. |
|

|

Uses the hue of the blend color with the saturation and brightness of the base color. |

Uses the hue and saturation of the blend color with the brightness of the base color. Useful for coloring grayscale artwork. |
|

Avoid using the Difference, Exclusion, Hue, Saturation, Color, or Luminosity blending modes on spot colors. These modes can create unexpected colors in your document.
