Re: Compositing math in SVG

Hi,

take a look as the draft CSS blending spec:
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/FXTF/rawfile/tip/compositing/index.html#blending
Those should match what you see in the Adobe reference guides. (Can you
post a link to these?)

The reason for the differences is that the SVG spec combines blending and
src-over compositing to the same formula.
The Adobe and CSS spec don't do this. The define it as:
1. the blending formula which combines foreground and background colors
(ignoring alpha)
2. if the foreground has alpha, blend the original color with the blended
color
3. composite this color with alpha using the specified compositing formula
