EBC Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 When I create a black-to-transparent gradient (pixel layer), it has the unexpected effect of lightening the layers beneath when the gradient layer is set to "Normal" blend mode. I have to change it to "Darken" to prevent this effect. Why does this lightening occur? This should not happen on a black-to-transparent gradient, even in Normal blend mode. Am I creating the gradient incorrectly? Key to images: #1 - The relevant portion of the image, before gradient is created #2 - The gradient settings #3 - The gradient placement #4 - A comparison of Normal and Darken blend modes after the gradient has been applied. On the left is Normal, and you can see a lightened haze. On the right is Darken, and there is no such haze. It is most visible on the jacket, on either side of the text.
