If you’re a user of our design applications such as Photoshop and Illustrator, you know how you can create very cool effects with blend modes.
Last year, I joined the W3C and started contributing to the SVG and FX task forces. I am now spending the bulk of my time on editing, discussing and implementing the CSS compositing and blending spec. The new draft will introduce a new CSS property:
blend-mode
Supported values for blend-mode:
- normal
- plus
- multiply
- screen
- overlay
- darken
- lighten
- color-dodge
- color-burn
- hard-light
- soft-light
- difference
- exclusion
- hue
- saturation
- color
- luminosity
