2. Re: Blending Mode issue
Rick Gerard Jan 7, 2012 4:46 PM (in response to Cris is Bliss)This is with only one layer???. Try turning off open GL previews. Try duplicating the layer then applying different blend modes to the top copy.
Open GL is probably the culprit.

Cris is Bliss Jan 8, 2012 11:59 AM (in response to Rick Gerard)yes this is what happens with those modes applied and it is the ONLY layer in the comp

4. Re: Blending Mode issue
Cris is Bliss Jan 8, 2012 9:11 PM (in response to Rick Gerard)Open GL on or off is not making any difference.
When I use those blending modes and there is another layer below, the blending modes behave as they are supposed to. However if I turn the layer the is beneath off, I get the results that I showed in the screen shots.

5. Re: Blending Mode issue
Rick Gerard Jan 9, 2012 5:35 AM (in response to Cris is Bliss)Here's a silly question. Blend modes are only useful and effective when there's something to blend with. There's no reason to have a layer set to anything but normal if there is no layer below it to blend with. That being said, what project is being fouled up with because of this behavior? What are you doing that requires you to change the blend mode on a single layer? What do you expect to happen when you apply Classic Color Dodge to a single layer?
By the way, the same thing happens in CS5. It's the normal behavior for these blend modes.

6. Re: Blending Mode issue
Cris is Bliss Jan 9, 2012 2:03 PM (in response to Rick Gerard)Its just that before reinstalling AE I didn't recall those Blend modes behaving that way, maybe they always did and I just never had applied it to a layer that is the only layer in a comp. However, just for convenience I think that it should not cause any change when there is no layer to blend with, ie. you're tweaking the top layer that has the blend mode and you need to temporarily turn off the bottom layer for what ever reason or the bottom layer is shorter in duration, and you get this blow out or totally darkened image, now you have extra steps of turning the blend mode to somthing else and back once you're finised, a small price but none the less its not consistant with the other blend modes.
