[Request] Fill slider for Difference blend mode, please?

[CoEl]

I appreciate that the Settings cog gives the very powerful Blend Options which arguably give even more control, but I miss the simplicity of Photoshop's Difference mode. In PS, next to the Opacity slider you have a second one for Fill. It's just the absolute quickest way to fine-tune the Difference mode, and I'd love to see it in Photo.

Thanks for reading

Doesn't Fill Opacity in Fx/Layer Effects do the same thing?

No, it will for shapes, text etc so is only partially implemented, it is mostly needed for the special 8 blend modes, some of which can be worked around, if you can remember how, but not all of them. Requests to get this added have been around for some years.

Thanks for the reply. You're right, I hadn't spotted it inside FX!

It's not an ideal place for it to be, still. I'd rather have it next to Opacity so that I can balance the two at once, rather than having to open and close a sub-menu to tweak each one separately.

 

@Murfee - Sorry for repeating the topic. I did search first, but I guess I was searching from the wrong end of the idea to pick up those threads.
