Blending Modes
Normal
It is default mode. It is standard blend mode used for all
objects.
DARKEN GROUP
Darken
It Produce a darker color blending with down object. It
keeps darkest color of the two.
Multiply
The best mode for darkening .It also produces darker color,
used for creating shadows. Great for creating shadows and removing whites and
other light colors (while keeping the darker colors).
Color Burn
Darker than Multiply, with more highly saturated mid-tones
and reduced highlights.
LIGHTEN GROUP
Lighten

the selected object is lighter than the ones on the object below.
Screen
It Produces light color blending with the object below.
Color Dodge
Brighter than the Screen blend mode. It also produces light
color blending with the object below.
CONTRAST GROUP
Overlay
Overlay combines Multiply and Screen blend mode. The part of
object where the base object is light become lighter and the part where object
is dark become darker.
Soft Light
It uses combination of Screen and Multiply mode, it make
transparent highlights and darker the shadow or dark color objects. Its similar
to overlay but it produces more softer color output.
Hard Light
Multiplies or screens the resulting color depending on the
original color. If underlying color is less than 50% grey, the layer lightens
it as if it were screened. If underlying color is more than 50% grey it will be
darkens as if it were Multiplies.
