Enumeration Description

BlendMode

Script Name: Description: 
Normal Pixels on the current layer are blended with the underlying layer based on opacity.Default
Darken Each pixel is the darkest of the two layers 
Lighten The lighter pixel of the two layers is displayed 
LegacyHue Applies the hue of the upper layer to the lower layer (legacy) 
LegacySaturation Applies the saturation value of the upper layer to the lower layer (legacy) 
LegacyColor Applies the hue and saturation of the upper layer to the lower layer, preserving the luminance 
LegacyLuminance Applies the luminance of the upper layer to the lower layer, without affecting the color. (legacy) 
Multiply Combines the upper layer with the lower layer to produce a darker color. 
Screen Lighten the underlying color by multiplying the inverse of the base and blend colors. 
Dissolve Randomly choose either the upper layer pixel or the lower layer pixel. The probability of picking a pixel is controlled by the opacity. 
Overlay Combines multiply and screen modes to preserve the patterns and colors of the upper layer with shadows and highlights from the lower layer. 
HardLight Combines multiply and screen modes to add highlights or shadows  
SoftLight Combines burn and dodge modes to create soft shadows and highlights 
Difference Subtracts the lighter pixel from the darker pixel 
Dodge Use the lightness value from the upper layer to lighten colors in the lower layer 
Burn The lightness of the upper layer is used to darken pixels on the lower layer. 
Exclusion Creates an effect similar to but softer than the difference mode. 
TrueHue Applies the hue of the upper layer to the lower layer 
TrueSaturation Applies the saturation value of the upper layer to the lower layer 
TrueColor Applies the hue and saturation of the upper layer to the lower layer, preserving the luminance 
TrueLuminance Applies the lightness of the upper layer to the lower layer, without affecting the color. 
PaintBehind Paints in only transparent areas.
