Applying merge modes
You can apply a merge mode to a transparency to specify how the color of a transparency is combined with the color of the object behind it.
The following merge modes available for transparencies can also be applied to drop shadows.

Merge mode Description
Normal Applies the transparency color on top of the base color
Add Adds the values of the transparency color and the base color
Subtract Adds the values of the transparency color and the base color
together, and then subtracts 255
Difference Subtracts the transparency color from the base color and multiplies
by 255. If the transparency color value is 0, the result will always be
255.
Multiply Multiplies the base color by the transparency color, and then
divides by 255. This has a darkening effect, unless you are applying
color to white. Multiplying black with any color results in black.
Multiplying white with any color leaves the color unchanged.
Divide Divides the base color by the transparency color, or conversely,
divides the transparency color by the base color, depending on
which color has the higher value
If lighter Replaces any base color pixels that are a darker color with the
transparency color. Base color pixels that are lighter than the
transparency color are not affected.
If darker Replaces any base color pixels that are a lighter color with the
transparency color. Base color pixels that are darker than the
transparency color are not affected.
Texturize Converts the transparency color to grayscale, and then multiplies
the grayscale value by the base color
Color Uses the hue and saturation values of the source color and the
lightness value of the base color to create a result. This merge
mode is the opposite of the Lightness merge mode.
