W<\/span> <\/span> hen Divi introduced Blend Modes to images we were all like \u2013 cool! Wait, how do I use Blend Modes in Divi? And more importantly, why? (well, maybe not more importantly, but just as important).\u00a0 Blending modes are ways to enhance photos without being destructive. What does that mean? If you create a photo in Photoshop with a Blend Mode, then that change is permanent when you output it to jpeg or png.\u00a0 But when you use Divi to create the Blend Mode, and then later decide you don\u2019t like the effect, all you have to do is remove the Blend Mode and your photo goes back to its original state (well, it actually never left the original state, but the effect is removed).<\/p>\n Blend Modes are found in the Module’s Design Tab under the Filters section. By default, it is set to Normal. And usually, this is where it should stay. But there are times using a Blend Mode on a photo is a good choice.\u00a0 With that said, there are 4 Blend Modes in Divi I find useful:<\/p>\n Please note: Blend Modes do not seem to be supported by Microsoft Edge at this time.<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”How To Apply Blend Modes in Divi” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ use_border_color=”off”]<\/p>\n I\u2019ll go into detail for each one of these below, but first, a quick tutorial on how to apply Blend Modes, so that my descriptions of what each one does makes sense.<\/p>\n The Blend Mode does what it says\u2013 it blend items. In order to use them, you must have two objects to blend. In my examples, one will be a photo, and the other can either be another photo, a solid color, or a gradient.<\/p>\n In the Row module, you’ll want to add either a background color, or gradient or image to the corresponding column in which you are adding your photos.\u00a0 For instance, if you have a row of three photos and the middle one is going to have the Blend Mode applied, then you would choose Column 2 in the Row Module and the color or graphic there.\u00a0 Then in the Module that you are applying the Blend Mode to, go to the Design Tab and under Filter choose the Blending Mode you want to use.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”What does the Multiply Blend Mode Do? 1″ _builder_version=”3.27.4″ use_border_color=”off”]<\/p>\n Multiply is used to darken images, more or less.\u00a0 When you use multiply in Divi it multiplies the luminance levels of the image (the current layer you are blending) with the layer below (the layer in which you are blending with). The key here is it multiplies the darker pixels.\u00a0 Have you ever taken a piece of tracing paper and traced something? When you place the paper on top of the object you want to trace, what happens? You can see everything that is darker than the paper, but nothing that is lighter, right? This is essentially what multiply does. It lets the darker stuff through and at the corresponding levels: 100% black comes through, whereas 100% white does not, and then everything else comes in at the proportionate amount.\u00a0<\/p>\n Now look at the example below. Image 1 is normal. Image two is using multiply Blend Mode with a simple black to white gradient with black on top and white on bottom. See the difference?<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=”Adsense General (Replace)” _builder_version=”3.26.6″ text_orientation=”center” z_index_tablet=”500″ saved_tabs=”all”]\n
