Merge modes
The Merge mode drop down box at the top of the Layers tab of the 
Fractal Properties
 tool window 
selects the merge mode of the active layer. The merge mode defines how the layer is combined with 
the underlying layers to create the final image.
Directly returns colors from the layer. Use this if you don t want any special 
Normal
effects.
Multiplies the layer with the underlying layers. The result is always a darker 
Multiply
color, thus darkening the underlying layers.
Multiplies the inverse of the layer with the inverse of the underlying layers. 
The result is always a lighter color, thus brightening the underlying layers. 
Screen
Screen is the inverse of Multiply.
Multiplies or screens the colors, depending on the color in the underlying 
layers. Creates color blending effects between the layer and the underlying 
Overlay
layers.
Multiplies or screens the colors, depending on the color in the layer. 
Emphasizes the dark and light regions in the layer, while the areas with 
Hard Light
medium brightness become transparent. Useful if the layer contains shadows 
or embossing effects.
Darkens or lightens the colors, depending on the color in the layer. Creates an 
effect similar to Hard Light, but with less emphasis on the dark and light areas 
Soft Light
in the layer.
Returns the darkest of the color in the layer and the color in the underlying 
Darken
layers.
Returns the lightest of the color in the layer and the color in the underlying 
Lighten
layers.
Returns the difference between the layer and the underlying layers. Often 
Difference
creates unusual and unexpected color transitions.
Returns the hue of the layer, and the saturation and luminance of the 
Hue
underlying layers. Colors the underlying layers with the hue of the layer.
Returns the saturation of the layer, and the hue and luminance of the 
underlying layers. Changes the saturation of the underlying layers depending 
Saturation
on the layer.
Returns the hue and saturation of the layer, and the luminance of the 
underlying layers. Colors the underlying layers with the layer. The underlying 
Color
layers control the brightness of the resulting image.
