Examples of the Various Blend Modes Appendix A Examples of the Various Blend Modes Blend Modes are used throughout Aviary’s applications to combine two separate layers. Each mode follows a formula for determining how one layer is affected by another. Blend Modes can affect Alphas, brightness values, and hues. Knowing what each Blend Mode does will enable you to create better images and effects. This appendix gives examples of each of the currently available Blend Modes. The chapter is split into Blend Modes used in Phoenix and Raven and the advanced Blend Modes used in Peacock. Blend Modes for Phoenix and Raven Phoenix and Raven use the same Blend Modes, and for the most part, those Blend Modes have the same results. To show the results of each Blend Mode, these examples use a simple image of a circle being overlapped by a square. In all the examples, the circle in the lower layer is referred to as the Base layer, whereas the square in the upper layer is referred to as the Blending layer. In the Normal Blend Mode (see Figure A-1), the layers maintain their own native properties and are not blended together. The upper layer covers the lower layer. 591 APPENDIX A Figure A-1. The Normal Blend Mode The Add Blend Mode adds the color values of the Base layer with the Blending layer (see Figure A-2). Any area with a maximum value is displayed as white. This greatly intensifies the lighter areas. Figure A-2. The Add Blend Mode The Alpha Blend Mode masks the Base layer by the Alpha in the Blending layer (see Figure A-3). This Blend Mode hides the Blending layer only in Phoenix and Raven. 592 EXAMPLES OF THE VARIOUS BLEND MODES Figure A-3. The Alpha Blend Mode The Darken Blend Mode uses multiple Blend Modes on areas where the Blending layer is lighter than the Base layer (see Figure A-4). This gives an overall darkness to the lightest areas of the Base layer. Figure A-4. The Darken Blend Mode The Difference Blend Mode inverts the colors in the Blending layer and subtracts the results from the Base layer (see Figure A-5). If both layers are the same, the result will be black. This Blend Mode shows any differences in similar layers and is useful to align two of the same layers. 593 APPENDIX A Figure A-5. The Difference Blend Mode The Erase Blend Mode masks the Base layer by the invert of the Alpha in the Blending layer (see Figure A-6). This Blend Mode hides only the Blending layer in Phoenix and Raven. Figure A-6. The Erase Blend Mode The Hardlight Blend Mode combines both the Screen and Multiply Blend Modes (see Figure A-7). The overall effect intensifies colors in the Blending layer; darker areas get darker, and lighter areas get lighter. The 50% values are not affected. 594 EXAMPLES OF THE VARIOUS BLEND MODES Figure A-7. The Hardlight Blend Mode The Invert Blend Mode inverts colors in the Base layer that is covered by the Blending layer (see Figure A- 8). The transparent areas in the Base layer are displayed as black. Figure A-8. The Normal Blend Mode The Lighten Blend Mode uses Screen Blend Mode on areas where the Blending layer is darker than the Base layer (see Figure A-9). This gives an overall lightening to the darkest areas of the Base layer. 595 APPENDIX A Figure A-9. The Lighten Blend Mode The Layer Blend Mode currently produces the same effect as the Normal Blend Mode (see Figure A-10). This Blend Mode will change in the future to give it added usability. Figure A-10. The Layer Blend Mode The Multiply Blend Mode multiples the Base layer and the Blending layer colors (see Figure A-11). White areas in the Blending layer turn transparent, and only the darker colors appear. Because this Blend Mode removes the white areas from the Blending layer, it is useful for quickly cutting out white backgrounds from images. You can think of this Blend Mode as the opposite of Screen. 596 EXAMPLES OF THE VARIOUS BLEND MODES Figure A-11. The Multiply Blend Mode The Overlay Blend Mode combines both Screen and Multiply Blend Modes such as Hardlight (see Figure A-12). However, Overlay preserves the color in the Base layer and gives a more subtle blend than Hardlight. The overall effect intensifies colors in the Blending layer; darker areas get darker, and lighter areas get lighter. The mid range values are not affected. Figure A-12. The Overlay Blend Mode The Screen Blend Mode divides the Base layer and Blending layer colors (see Figure A-13). Black areas in the Blending layer become transparent, and lighter areas get lighter. You can think of this Blend Mode as the opposite of Multiply. 597 APPENDIX A Figure A-13. The Screen Blend Mode The Subtract Blend Mode subtracts the Blending layer from the Base layer (see Figure A-14). Any resulting negative values are displayed as black. Figure A-14. The Subtract Blend Mode Peacock Blend Modes The Normal, Add, Alpha, Darken, Difference, Hardlight, Lighten, Multiply, Overlay, Screen, and Subtract Blend Modes are also used in Peacock. However, it also has a few advanced modes in the Blender hub. These advanced Blend Modes are more complicated, and take more time to render. The Linear Blend Mode takes averages the brightness of the Blending layer and the brightness of the Base layer and uses that information as the brightness information for the Base layer (see Figure A-15). Any 100% transparent areas in the Blending layer produce black in the image. 598 EXAMPLES OF THE VARIOUS BLEND MODES Figure A-15. The Linear Blend Mode The Hue Blend Mode changes the hue of the Base layer to the hue of the Blending layer (see Figure A- 16). Any transparent areas change the Base layer's hue to red. Figure A-16. The Hue Blend Mode The Saturation Blend Mode uses the saturation of the Blending layer to set the saturation in the Base layer (see Figure A-17). Any pure transparent areas in the Blending layer will turn the pixels in the Base layer red. 599 APPENDIX A Figure A-17. The Saturation Blend Mode The Brightness Blend Mode takes the brightness of the Blending layer and uses that information as a Multiply blended overlay (see Figure A-18). This Blend Mode changes any areas that are transparent to black. Figure A-18. The Brightness Blend Mode The Layover Blend Mode is an exaggerated version of the Overlay Blend Mode (see Figure A-19). This Blend Mode produces more contrast between the two layers than the Overlay Blend Mode. 600 EXAMPLES OF THE VARIOUS BLEND MODES Figure A-19. The Layover Blend Mode The Lighter Cover Blend Mode takes the lighter value from either the Blending or Base layers and covers the other layer (see Figure A-20). Figure A-20. The Lighter Cover Blend Mode The Darker Cover Blending Mode takes the darker value from either the Blending or Base layers and covers the other layer (see Figure A-21). 601 APPENDIX A Figure A-21. The Darker Cover Blend Mode Wrap, XOR, AND, and OR Blend Modes convert the color values of each pixel in the Blending layer and Base layer to a string of numbers; they then perform a mathematical function on them. The resulting numbers are converted back into a color value to produce the Blend Mode output. These methods can produce abstract and unpredictable results, and the more variety and detail in the original layers, the more abstract the result. Following are examples of the Wrap (see Figure A-22), XOR (see Figure A-23), AND (see Figure A-24), and OR (see Figure A-25). Figure A-22. The Wrap Blend Mode 602 EXAMPLES OF THE VARIOUS BLEND MODES Figure A-23. The XOR Blend Mode Figure A-24. The AND Blend Mode 603 APPENDIX A Figure A-25. The OR Blend Mode Blend Modes are an indispensable tool in almost every layer-based graphic editor. They can be difficult to predict; the Blend Mode that works great in one image can give you an undesirable result in another. It is recommended that you try several different Blend Modes while building your image to see which works the best. Experiment, explore, and play with this powerful tool because the more you use it, the easier it is to understand. 604 Appendix B The Color Picker Tool The Color Picker is a versatile multifunction tool used to choose colors. Raven, Phoenix, and Peacock use the same color picker (see Figure B-1). Falcon uses its own simple color picker to keep the application quick, and Toucan is essentially a color picker itself. The Color Picker pops up when you need to choose a color. Figure B-1. The Color Picker dialog with all the fly-out panels open 605 APPENDIX B Whenever you need to choose a color in Phoenix, Raven, or Peacock, the applications open the color picker tool (see Figure B-2). The Color Picker pops up, enabling you to pick colors, import Toucan color palettes, and save swatches. Figure B-2. Initially, the Color Picker’s fly-out panels are hidden. In the center of the Color Picker is an area where you can choose the brightness and saturation of the color (see Figure B-3). The small circle is the sample point and is centered on the currently selected color. Clicking and dragging this circle lets you change the current color.

Updates and revisions to the instructions, along with new screenshots, were created by Megan Wiseman (“wisemoon” on Cartographer’s Guild). Part 1 gave instructions on how to create the basic landmass outline for your map, including some ideas on how to randomly generate a landmass shape if you don’t have a sketch to start with. Part 2 gave instructions on how to color your ocean/sea, and how to color your landmass with textured grass and dirt. Part 3 gave instructions on how to create mountains and forests on your map. Part 4 gave instructions for how to create rivers and lakes on your map, and also showed you how to create cities and roads. This part of the tutorial will show you how to label your geographical features and cities. Then we’ll show you how to create a nifty title for your map. You can create a legend for your map in the same basic way you create the title. You can also add a compass rose. We’ll finish it off with a simple border. Adding Labels to Your Map Every map has labels for various geographical features, as well as labels for cities, towns and other settlements. Most of the horizontal text labels will be made using the text tool, just like the city icons were done in Part 4.

Kopf (Guest Editors) Decomposing Images into Layers with Advanced Color Blending Yuki Koyama and Masataka Goto National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan Boom layer Top layer (N/A) normal hard-light multiply Input image Decomposed layers Edited image Figure 1: Our method decomposes an input image (Left) into layers that can reproduce the image by composition with advanced color-blend modes such as hard-light and multiply (Middle). Users can specify the color-blend mode and desired color distribution for each layer, as well as the number of layers. Output layers are useful for non-trivial image manipulation such as lighting-aware color editing (Right). Input image courtesy of David Revoy. Abstract Digital paintings are often created by compositing semi-transparent layers using various advanced color-blend modes, such as “color-burn,” “multiply,” and “screen,” which can produce interesting non-linear color effects. We propose a method of decomposing an input image into layers with such advanced color blending. Unlike previous layer-decomposition methods, which typically support only linear color-blend modes, ours can handle any user-specified color-blend modes. To enable this, we generalize a previous color-unblending formulation, in which only a specific layering model was considered. We also introduce several techniques for adapting our generalized formulation to practical use, such as the post-processing for refining smoothness. Our method lets users explore possible decompositions to find the one that matches for their purposes by manipulating the target color-blend mode and desired color distribution for each layer, as well as the number of layers.

W3C liability, trademark, document use and software licensing rules apply. Abstract This specification defines the features and syntax for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), a language for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics in XML. Status of this document The Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.0 specification is still in the Candidate Recommendation phase. This new draft specification is being published to reflect minor changes to the specification and editorial updates resulting from implementation feedback. The SVG Working Group (Members-only) considers the specification to be stable and encourages implementation and comment on the specification during this period. The Candidate Recommendation review period ends when there exists at least one SVG implementation which passes each of the Basic Effectivity (BE) tests in the SVG test suite. The implementation status of SVG is already very good, and at this point, most of the test are passed by one or multiple implementations, but as yet the exit criteria have not been met. It is anticipated that implementation status will be such that the exit criteria will be met in approximately one month. Please send review comments before the review period ends to [email protected].

  • Layer Blending Modes
    Layer Blending Modes lend Modes can be used to tell layers how to interact with layers beneath them in dif- ferent ways. By setting Blend Modes you can make paint darken paint below, tint it, or oth- erwise adjust it. ArtRage provides a number of Blend Modes, including the standard ones from Adobe Photoshop and some of its own. The default Blend Mode applied to each Layer is “Normal”, which means that paint will sit on top of paint on the layer beneath and cover it like normal paint on a surface. To use layer blend modes you have to have two or more layers. The blend mode will react with the layer below it. For this tutorial I will be using an image with two layers. The blending mode will be applied to the top layer and we'll look at the way they both interact. The background layer is a picture I took on a holiday in one of my favourite places in Bel- gium. The one I will use for the layer modes is made of some grayscale and colour sam- ples. The tint mode takes the color of the paint on your lay- er and tints the paint underneath it. In this example the blue sample has applied a blue tint to the Photo beneath. Use this mode if you want to apply color to something in gray scale, or tint the color below with a new color above. The highlight blend lightens paint beneath it, allowing you to make paint brighter by applying paint above it without washing it out to plain white.

  • Blend Modes Explained
    Search PHOTOSHOP TUTORIALS Beginners | Intermediate BLENDING MODES NOTE (The majority of the following information can also be found in the program's Help files, and I take no personal credit for writing it. I have converted it to HTML and posted it here simply as a convenience for my visitors, and to supplement other content.) Please give the image samples a few extra seconds to download, this is a long page. But the information needs to be all on one page so you can compare the Blend Modes against each other. Read the following while you're waiting... Layers You use layer blending modes to determine how the pixels in a layer are blended with underlying pixels on other layers. By applying specific blend modes to individual layers, you can create a wide variety of special effects. NOTE There is no Clear blending mode for layers; as is found in the 'Stroke' filter for instance. In addition, the Color Dodge, Color Burn, Darken, Lighten, Difference, and Exclusion modes are unavailable for Lab images. Painting & Editing Tools The blending mode specified in the Options palette for each tool controls how pixels in the image will be affected by tools. 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 tools. The 'Result color' is the color resulting from the blend mode used. Blend Mode Descriptions Page 1 These mode types are based on the latest version of Photoshop, but their effects are universal in all versions.
