Blend Modes

OVERVIEW

Learn how to use layer blend modes to create unique effects


Blend modes overview

Blend Modes allow you to define how you want two layers to blend together. They control how the colors and pixels of one layer interact with the layers below it. Use blend modes to create overlay and background effects on your projects.

On Fable, blend modes are applied at the layer level.
