Contrast Negate gone funny?


Recommended Posts

Duplicate layer and set top blend mode to Contrast Negate. The result looks suspiciously like a straight invert.

I've tried this on 1.7.1 and 1.7.3, same result.

See also here (is contrast negate as decribed?)

Why do you think this should look different?

It works on the luminance of the beneath layer/s. Just like @jenk has explained it here, in one of your other posts about this :)

Apologies -- forgotten this -- recent confusion came about from another conversation. Will revisit previous postings.

A part of the puzzle is how overall luminosity is calculated -- seems possible that it is 0.3*Red + 0.59*Green + 0.11*Blue. True? Universally?
