More blend modes

It would be cool to have more blend modes (especially for effect lists). This would avoid some buffer saves.


* A replace blend mode that is transparent for a specific color.

* A blend mode that first subtracts and then adds. (That would be transparent for black, semi transparent for grey and solid for white).

Subtract-then-add = maximum blend 😉.

Ahh yes ofcourse... :-)

Still there is room for some more complicated blend modes. (but maybe they are a little too exotic?)

Check:

Yeh liike all the ones in paintshop pro and photoshop. Well not all of them, but some of them 😉

|a-b| would be useful...it's fucking slow if you do it "by hand." i'd look up exactly how i did it before in order to demonstrate just how slow, but i just got out of about 12.5 hours of flying and not flying and i'm a bit tired

well yeah some of the PSP blend modes would be really cool. 😁

|a-b| would be max(a-b,b-a)
or in other words:

+- <a>

+- EL(ignore/sub1)

|   +- <b>

+- EL(ignore/max)

    +- <a>

    +- EL(ignore/sub2)

        +- <b>

tell me if you have a better solution 🙂
btw i could write an ape that restores a buffer with that blend mode if anyone needs it... wouldnt be much work 🙂

Your just desperate to make APE's aren't you

maybe... 🙂
here's the APE for absolute blending...
i'm gonna extend it to the other blend modes soon so stay tuned 🙂
this extension will be compatible to the presets made with this version
