Color Burn: Intensifies the dark areas in each image. Whites in the background image replace
the foreground image, while whites in the foreground image become transparent. Midrange
color values in the background image allow midrange color values in the foreground image
to show through. Lighter midrange color values in the background image allow more of the
foreground image to show through. Darker midrange values in all visible overlapping areas are
then mixed together, resulting in intensified color effects. The order of two layers affected by
the Color Burn blend mode is important.

Linear Burn: Similar to Multiply, except that darker overlapping midrange color values are
intensified, as with Color Burn. Progressively lighter color values in overlapping images
become increasingly translucent, allowing darker colors to show through. Whites in either
image allow the overlapping image to show through completely. The order of two layers
affected by the Linear Burn blend mode does not matter.

Lightening blend modes
The following blend modes tend to create a lighter result than either of the original images.

Add: Emphasizes the whites in each overlapping image and lightens all other overlapping
colors. The color values in every overlapping pixel are added together. The result is that all
overlapping midrange color values are lightened. Blacks from either image are transparent,
while whites in either image are preserved. The order of two layers affected by the Add blend
mode does not matter.
