Mark, you can change the Blend mode (operation) in the Properties of a Mask container. Look at my screenshot above, I have highlighted this setting with a yellow line.

Than,ks Igor for including this. I started to experiment with this yesterday and it is very interesting. Using both with a still image and a video. Working out how the Stencil and the Content interact is diffidifficult, even though I use Masks in PS. Is there a way of changing the mask Blend Modes or do you need to create a new Mask for each Blend Mode? If not I am thinking of creating a template for each Blending Mode and trying the different modes with an image to get used to the effect. Thanks Mark

Testing...

You can Apply any Style and modify it to your needs. You can then create a Style from the modified Slide and Save As a different version. Saving over the original is not advised and is not good practise. You cannot overwrite Built-In Styles so you have no alternative but to create your own version. If the Style that you are modifying has an Image built into it then that can cause problems as can images which appear more than once in the Applied Style (Reference Images). DG

Only if you want to use the exact same thing again. Jill

Thank you for sharing these! Cute animals in your video BTW!

I guess I should become more familiar with creating Styles. What I pretty much always do when creating one of my travelogue shows is to choose the jpgs and mp4s and assemble on the slide list or timeline in some meaningful order. Then I apply various styles (many of them downloaded from other advanced members like you or Barry) to either single slides or group of slides but almost always modify the style to my liking. When modified should I be calling that a new "created" style?

Hi Igor very interesting feature, tested and working well. This opens up new creative possibilities for us.

Beta 15 (Build 3) with updated French and Dutch translations is available. See the download links above.

Yes, blending operations available for a custom transition.

I'm posting these early, and I was going to wait till version PTE AV 12 came out, but I Say to Hell with That!!! FYI: Not looking for your Gold, just hoping you can use them.

You now have an understanding of why some used images are highlighted in blue and others not. If you are not going to create Styles you need not worry about the rest. Most people should be able to manage with "Quick Styles" (or not use Styles at all) and in these cases the Main Object numbering need not worry you. If you have a specific problem you are welcome to Message me - there are lots of others who will be willing to help. Good luck, DG P.S. There is a way of getting ALL used images highlighted in blue but it is not very elegant!!

Yes I played around with that and I see what it did. But I am still not entirely clear about the Main Object designation and/or the number assigned to each of the Main Objects. But I guess I have survived without understanding this with the various shows I have created thus far so no harm/no foul as they say.

Greetings Fellow Creatives! My quest continues to make every looping track on my site available in higher-quality Ogg format, so this week we have: "THE ITALIAN HEIST" You can listen to it here: https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/The-Italian-Heist.ogg And freely download it here: https://soundimage.org/world/ "CHUGGIN' THROUGH COLOMBIA" You can listen to it here: https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Chuggin-Through-Columbia.ogg And freely download it here: https://soundimage.org/world/ As always, all of my music and sounds are 100% free to use in your projects with attribution. PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING MY EFFORTS Here are some cool ways you can help: https://soundimage.org/ogg-game-music-mega-pack/ https://soundimage.org/ogg-music-packs-2/ https://soundimage.org/donate/ See you in July! 🙂

Here's an extremely simple Style showing two different ways of applying a Style and determining the order of objects appearing. 1. In a 16/9 Project add 4 images to the slide list. Their order in the slide list will determine the order in which they appear. Highlight all 4 and apply the Style. The Style creates 3 slides - slides 1 and 3 can be deleted. 2. In a 16/9 project, create a blank slide and add 4 Images to it in O&A. Use the "Main Object" to number each image in the order (1 to 4) that you want them to appear. Apply the Style. The Style creates 3 slides - slides 1 and 3 can be deleted. Demo Style - Object Numbering.ptestyle For demo purposes only.

Also useful for creating Transitions? DG

I've added a video demonstration and test project (ZIP archive) in the 1st post above.

Thanks a lot Igor!!! This option is great! My dream

Hi, Glad that your like the new blending effect in V12

It's fine to have this new feature that I have waited for quite long 😉

I have now had a chance to play with Blend Modes. As I no longer use Photoshop & do all of my image editing within PTE, this opens up so many new creative possibilities. Thank you so much for this great new feature. PTE just gets better & better. Jill

Although I never use Slide Styles, as I understand it - If your Slide Style needs 4 images that appear in a certain order, then if you number the images 1, 2, 3, 4 then they will appear in that order. If you don't use or create Slide Styles, then don't worry about it. Jill
