Blending modes

About blending modes

The blending mode specified in the options bar controls how pixels in the image are affected by a painting or editing

tool. It’s helpful to think in terms of the following colors when visualizing a blending mode’s effect:

• The base color is the original color in the image.

• The blend color is the color being applied with the painting or editing tool.

• The result color is the color resulting from the blend.
