What are the meanings of various words of mixed mode in Photoshop, such as: color filter.

Detailed explanation of PS layer mixed mode

The blending mode of a layer determines how its pixels blend with the lower pixels in the image. You can create a variety of special effects using the blend mode.

By default, the layer group's blending mode is Penetration, which means that the layer group does not have its own blending properties. When you choose another blending mode for the layer group, you can effectively change the composition order of the whole image. First, synthesize all the layers in the layer group. Then, the composite layer group is treated as a single image and blended with the rest of the images by using the selected blending mode. Therefore, if the blending mode selected for the layer group is not penetrating, neither the adjustment layer in the layer group nor the layer blending mode will be applied to the external layers of the layer group.

For descriptions of various blending modes, see Selecting a Blending Mode.

Note: The layer does not have a "clear" blending mode. In addition, the modes of "color fading", "color deepening", "darkening", "brightening", "difference" and "exclusion" cannot be used for Lab images.

-

Specify a blending mode for a layer or group of layers:

1. Select a layer or layer group in the Layers panel.

2. Select Blending Mode: In the Layers panel, select an option from the Blending Mode pop-up menu.

Mixed mode options:

The blending mode specified in the Options Bar controls how the painting or editing tool affects the pixels in the image. When imagining the effect of blending mode, it is helpful to consider the following colors:

Primary colors are the original colors in an image.

Mixed colors are colors applied by painting or editing tools.

The color obtained is the color obtained after mixing.

Select the blending mode of the tool: select from the Mode pop-up menu in the options bar.

normality

Edit or draw each pixel to make it the result color. This is the default mode. (When processing bitmap images or indexed color images, the "normal" mode is also called the threshold. )

dissolve

Edit or draw each pixel to make it the result color. However, according to the opacity of any pixel position, the resulting color will be randomly replaced by pixels with primary colors or mixed colors.

Behind; trail

Edit or draw only in the transparent part of the layer. This mode is only used in layers with Lock Transparent Areas deselected, similar to drawing on the back of transparent areas of transparent paper.

Clear the table

Edit or draw each pixel to make it transparent. This mode can be used for line tool (when filling area is selected), paint bucket tool, brush tool, pencil tool, fill command and stroke command. To use this mode, you must be in a layer with locked transparency deselected.

appear

Check the color information in each channel, and select the darker color in the primary color or mixed color as the result color. Pixels brighter than the mixed color are replaced, and pixels darker than the mixed color remain unchanged.

Multiply; Multiply; (cause) to breed.

Look at the color information in each channel and compound the base color with the mixed color. The resulting color is always a darker color. Any color combines with black to produce black. Any combination of color and white remains the same. When painting with colors other than black or white, the continuous strokes drawn by painting tools will produce gradually darker colors. This is similar to the effect of drawing on an image with multiple magic markers.

Color deepening

Check the color information in each channel, and deepen the primary color by increasing the contrast to reflect the mixed color. When mixed with white, it will not change.

Linear deepening

Check the color information in each channel, and darken the primary color by reducing the brightness to reflect the mixed color. When mixed with white, it will not change.

light

Check the color information in each channel and choose the brighter color in the primary color or mixed color as the result color. Pixels darker than the mixed color are replaced, and pixels brighter than the mixed color remain unchanged.

Screen (color filter)

Check the color information of each channel and combine the complementary color of the mixed color with the primary color. The generated color is always a brighter color. When filtered in black, the color remains the same. Filtering with white will produce white. This effect is similar to multiple photo slides projected on top of each other. (Screen in 7.0, color filter in CS)

fade

Check the color information in each channel, and reduce the primary colors by reducing the contrast to reflect the mixed colors. When mixed with black, it does not change.

Linear reduction

Check the color information in each channel, and brighten the primary color by increasing the brightness to reflect the mixed color. When mixed with black, it does not change.

mantle

Composite color or filter color, depending on the primary color. Patterns or colors are superimposed on existing pixels while preserving the contrast of the primary colors. The primary colors are not replaced, but mixed with mixed colors to reflect the lightness or darkness of the primary colors.

subdued light

Brighten or darken the color, depending on the mixed color. This effect is similar to a divergent spotlight shining on an image. If the mixed color (light source) is brighter than 50% gray, the image will become brighter as if it were brighter. If the mixed color (light source) is darker than 50% gray, the image will become darker as if it were deepened. Painting with pure black or pure white will produce obviously darker or brighter areas, but it will not produce pure black or pure white.

highlight

Composite color or filter color depends on the mixed color. This effect is similar to a dazzling spotlight shining on an image. If the mixed color (light source) is brighter than 50% gray, the image will become brighter, just like the effect after filtering. This is very useful for adding highlights to images. If the mixed color (light source) is darker than 50% gray, the image will become darker, just like the composite effect. This is very useful for adding dark tones to images. Painting with pure black or white will produce pure black or white.

light

Deepen or darken the color by increasing or decreasing the contrast according to the mixed color. If the mixed color (light source) is brighter than 50% gray, the image is lightened by lowering the contrast. If the mixed color is darker than 50% gray, by increasing the pair

Contrast darkens the image.

Line light

According to the mixed color, the color is deepened or lightened by decreasing or increasing the brightness. If the mixed color (light source) is brighter than 50% gray, the image is brightened by increasing the brightness. If the mixed color is darker than 50% gray, the image is darkened by lowering the brightness.

pointolite

Changing colors depends on the mixed colors. If the mixed color (light source) is brighter than 50% gray, the pixels darker than the mixed color will be replaced without changing the pixels brighter than the mixed color. If the mixed color is darker than 50% gray, the pixels brighter than the mixed color will be replaced without changing the pixels darker than the mixed color. This is very useful for adding special effects to images.

Differential value

Look at the color information in each channel and subtract the mixed color from the primary color, or subtract the primary color from the mixed color, depending on which color has the greater brightness value. Mixing with white will reverse the base color value; When mixed with black, there is no change.

exclude

Create an effect similar to Difference Mode but with lower contrast. Mixing with white will reverse the base color value. When mixed with black, it does not change.

colour

Create the result color with the brightness and saturation of the primary color and the hue of the mixed color.

Saturation capacity

Create the result color with the brightness and hue of the base color and the saturation of the mixed color. Painting in this mode will not change in areas without (0) saturation (gray).

colour

Creates the resulting color with the brightness of the primary color and the hue and saturation of the mixed color. This can preserve the gray level in the image, which is very useful for coloring monochrome images and color images.

clever

Creates a result color using the hue and saturation of the base color and the brightness of the mixed color. This mode produces the opposite effect to the color mode.
