Glow blending modes

See Blending images for a description of how to use the image blending function. On this page are illustrated the "glow" modes.

Base image (in miniwindow)	Blend image (mentioned in WindowBlendImage)

Reflect mode (26)

This mode is useful when adding shining objects or light zones to images.

Glow mode (27)

This mode is a variation of reflect mode (base and blend color swapped).

Freeze mode (28)

Another variation of reflect mode (base and blend color inverted, the result inverted again)

Heat mode (29)

Another variation of reflect mode (like freeze mode, but base and blend color swapped).

Phoenix mode (31)

This subtracts the lighter pixel from the darker pixel, and adds 255, giving a bright result.

Stamp mode (32)

This is helpful when applying relief or bump textures to images. Gray blend colors do not change the background, brighter or darker colors make the background brighter or darker.
