I could visualize/imagine it in my head being something a very simple design like this (nothing fancy, just straight-forward pure blender plugin consisting of modes that are non-existent in Photoshop): OK, so I have this idea of mine for some time now: what if someone would be able and willing to create very simple photoshop plug-in that all it would do would be blending the image/layer (as we now have codes writtenin Delphi language for every possible blend mode thanks to rayek_elfin providing us with the link to those codes over at hm? This should prove useful for anyone trying to replicate these in Photoshop. Many other exact formulas for all blend modes in the above linked PDF, including the ones for reflect, glow, freeze, and heat (which are available in Paint.Net and Affinity Photo as well). It is based off soft burn and soft dodge formula from the Pegtop-Delphi website,į (dst,src) = 1½dst / (1 - src) (for dst + src < 1)į (dst,src) = 1½src / (1 - dst) (for dst + src < 1) Penumbra A & Penumbra B are blending modes that has a penumbra falloff making it useful for painting And a reference to the Pegtop-Delphi website for the exact formulas. I did a bit more research, and discovered that Soft Dodge's equivalent in Krita is Penumbra B. This may be helpful figuring out how to replicate most, although soft dodge remains unexplained so far. Subtract 0.5f by 1/4 of cosine of base layer subtracted by 1/4 of cosine of blend layer assuming 0-1 range. The absolute of the 1.0f value subtracted by base subtracted by the blend layer. inverse color dodge -> Luminosity/Shine (SAI) (I think? not sure.)įor example, Negation is calculated as follows: red, green, blue blend -> copy red, green, blue fuzzy light -> Soft Light (Pegtop-Delphi) Many of Fireworks' unique blend modes are identical to ones in Krita: I mention this because all blend modes are described in the manual, and explain how they work (more or less), which is useful to understand how to potentially replicate them in Photoshop. Krita is the current empress with over 95(!) different blend modes. My main interest are SOFT DODGE, INVERSE COLOR DODGE, INVERSE COLOR BURN and NEGATIONblends, so if anyone would be able simulate them in Photoshop, please, be so kind and let me/us know.įireworks is not the king of blend modes (anymore). Now the actual Fireworks CS6 blend modes (and I will post all of them - opacity of all blend layers is set to full 100%):Ġ2 average blend (FW UNIQUE BLEND) - SOLVED: seems to be exact simulation of the above approachĠ6 inverse color burn blend (FW UNIQUE BLEND) - I really do want/need this one badlyġ2 inverse color dodge blend (FW UNIQUE BLEND) - I really do want/need this one badlyġ3 soft dodge blend (FW UNIQUE BLEND) - I really do want/need this one badlyĢ5 negation (FW UNIQUE BLEND) - I really do want/need this one badlyģ7 additive blend (FW UNIQUE BLEND) - SOLVED: it is called "Linear Dodge (Add)" in Photoshopģ8 subtractive blend (FW UNIQUE BLEND) - SOLVED: use Photoshop's "Subtract" blend with Invert applied as Clipped Mask to blended image Original background image (found via random Google images search) To show you what those were and how they looked I will now post sample previews for all of them (except 2 which are irrelevant) with test images for those who would want to try to find a way how to achieve those in Photoshop and for comparison between each other so that you would see they are really unique and not some repetition of already existing ones. I am asking for adding unique FIREWORKS CS6 layer blend modes into Photoshop which are still not there after all these years.unbelievable. Please, Adobe, for God's sake: add already all those still missing original Fireworks CS6 layer blend modes to Photoshop !!! I am trying to migrate like for a year or two but still turn back to FW cos Photoshop is still missing all FW special blend modes (40+ vs 27 in PS).
