Color Dodge: Preserves whites in either the foreground or background image. Blacks in the 
background image replace the foreground image, while blacks in the foreground image 
become transparent. Midrange color values in the background image allow midrange color 
values in the foreground image to show through. Darker values in the background image 
allow more of the foreground image to show through. All overlapping midrange color values 
are mixed together, resulting in interesting color mixes. Reversing the two overlapping images 
results in subtle differences in how the overlapping midrange color values are mixed together.

Linear Dodge: Similar to Screen, except that lighter midrange color values in overlapping 
regions become intensified. Blacks in either image allow the overlapping image to show 
through completely. Whites from both images show through in the resulting image. The order 
of two layers affected by the Linear Dodge blend mode does not matter.
