Blend modes allow you to define how you want two layers to blend together. This involves taking pixels from each layer and recalculating them.
By setting the blend mode, you can adjust various properties of the picture such as the background color, and create overlays and textures.
In Motiff, you can adjust the blend mode of an entire layer or a fill. It is important to note that a layer or fill only supports one blend mode.
