Blending Modes
Was ist Blending Modes?
Blending modes control how two image layers mix together: whether they darken, lighten, or combine in more complex ways to create the final result.

Im Vergleich
Opacity uniformly reduces the transparency of a layer, making it more or less visible as a whole. Blending modes change how the layer interacts with what is beneath it based on colour mathematics, producing effects that go far beyond simple transparency adjustments and cannot be achieved through opacity changes alone.
Stellen Sie es sich vor wie…
Blending modes are like different types of transparent filters placed over a painting. Some filters darken everything beneath them, some lighten it, and others interact only with specific tones: the filter does not cover the painting; it changes how you perceive it.
Profi-Tipp
When compositing AI-generated elements into live footage, try the Luminosity blending mode for colour grade layers to avoid shifting the saturation of generated skin tones and fine details: it applies the brightness changes of your grade while preserving the original colour relationships.
Arten und Varianten
- Blending modes are typically grouped into categories based on their function.
- Darkening modes such as Multiply and Color Burn reduce brightness by multiplying or compressing tonal values.
- Lightening modes such as Screen and Color Dodge increase brightness by inverting and multiplying values.
- Contrast modes such as Overlay, Soft Light, and Hard Light boost contrast and saturation relative to a midpoint.
- Inversion modes such as Difference and Exclusion create colour-inverted or psychedelic effects based on the mathematical difference between layers.
- Component modes such as Hue, Saturation, Color, and Luminosity blend only a specific visual attribute of the upper layer with the rest of the base.
- Each software application implements these categories with slight variations, but the core mode behaviour is consistent across professional tools.

- Blending modes are used across a wide range of visual production contexts.
- In photo editing and compositing, Multiply is used to add realistic shadows and burn in textures, while Screen is used for glows, light leaks, and particle overlays.
- Overlay and Soft Light are standard choices for applying colour and contrast grades on top of footage without completely replacing the underlying tonal values.
- In motion graphics, blending modes allow animated elements to integrate with background footage convincingly.
- In VFX, passes from a 3D render such as ambient occlusion, specular highlights, and diffuse light are recombined using specific modes to reconstruct a final composite.
- In AI video and image workflows, blending modes help creators add grain, texture, and colour effects over generated content to give it a more organic, hand-finished quality.
