Mode
Description
final image as the value of the white colour is 255 – the
highest one compared to other values. The programme
selects the colour value for the lower layer. Completely
black layers result in a black image as the value of a black
colour is 0 and will be selected as the lowest one.

This mode is analogous to Darken only, except that it
selects the largest colour value. White layers result in
completely white image, while black layers have no effect
on the final image.
This mode uses the hue of the upper layer and the
saturation and value of the lower layer to form the
resulting image. However, if the saturation of the upper
layer is zero, the hue is taken from the lower layer, too.
This mode uses the saturation of the upper layer and the
hue and value of the lower layer to form the resulting
image.
