Blending modes are arbitrary artistic things and there is no correct
overlay formula. GIMP doesn't necessarily have to use the one in
Wikipedia. Here's an interesting and thorough post in the GIMP
developer list on this topic:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list/2012-July/msg00201.html
To start making new layer modes, somebody has to come up with a list
of modes that are actually needed. And somebody has to come up with a
way to include both legacy and new layer modes in the GUI (I think
that was already covered in IRC).
Just wondering if the blend modes couldn't be implemented with
specialized plugins. There would be uses for this in photography and/or
astrophotography (exposure blend, averaging...).After all it's just a
formula with the RGB values for the layer and the composite image below,
isn't it? (at least this is how the current ones are described).
