Blend modes in PTE AV Studio 12

[Igor]

Hi,

In PTE AV Studio 12 (Beta 15+) we've added a new "Blending" mode to the Mask container with support for 9 blend operations:
Linear Dodge (Add), Subtract, Multiply, Screen, Lighten, Darken, Overlay, Hard Light, and Soft Light.

To use: place the first image into the Stencil, and the second image into the Content of the Mask container. You can add video, text object, rectangle object, or multiple objects (several images, for example).

 

Watch a video example. Click the play button:

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.

Thanks, Igor for including this.

I started experimenting 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 difficult, even though I use Masks in PS. Is there a way of changing the mask Blend Mode after the initial option is selected, or do you need to create a new Mask for each new Blend Mode?the selected

Alternately, maybe the selected "Mask Container" or the "Mask Stencil" name box could show the Blending Style option rather than the generic name for future reference if that is possible at this late notice.

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, 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.

Thanks Igor I got that part and added the content 'Mask Stencil" and "Mask Content" but if you want to change the "Mask Container" type after you have already selected an option. I right clicked but no option to change from Multiply to Overlay that I could see or am I missing it?

,In the image attached I added "Multiply" to the Name Box.

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood your question.

See the screenshot below, it shows how to change the blend operation for an existing mask container.

No problems, I probably did not explain it properly.

I am not seeing that in my version. I will check the Version Number and my technique.

Thanks

UPDATED - my mistake. As the new versions are saved with the same file name in My Downloads, I deleted the wrong version. Have just leared the "Downloads" folder and it works fine now.

Thank you,

Check the "About" window to make sure you're using V12 Beta 15 and the Pro version.
We've provided a free Pro Beta key for testing (see my announcement about the V12 Beta).
A choice of Blend modes  is not available in the Standard version, but they will work if they've already been added via a slide style or template.

Thanks all working fine now. Was my error, as pre- V15 was installed but now updated.

Thanks again.
