Re: [css-compositing] Additional blend modes

If it's helpful here are the statistics from Adobe's photoshop forums on
the prevalence of questions about blend modes.

Number of results returned from searching on "blend mode": 500 results


I then searched on individual filters and counted the real results (vs.
enumerations of blend modes from bug reports & file dumps etc.)

"linear light" : 38 results

"hard mix": 24

"linear dodge": 22

"linear burn": 15

"vivid light": 12

"pin light": 3


>From eyeballing the forums, it seems like the most common blend modes
referenced in real questions are:

1) Normal

2) Screen

3) Multiply

4) Soft light

5) Color

(I am not a Photoshop expert, but it seems like you should be able to
duplicate the Soft Light blend mode with lighting effects, and you can
duplicate the Color blend mode with a color matrix + multiply)
