Tom Evans March 16, 2018 Share March 16, 2018 I have a single toned image (black shadows + green) that I layer mix with a pink color that I have choosen from the color generator. When I now choose to blend these to layers together with the lighten mode, shouldn't that pink color replace the black shadows of the image? Nothing happens so I wonder if I have encountered a bug.

Tom Evans March 16, 2018 Author Share March 16, 2018 Top node: Black shadows + green image Bottom node: Pink color Both are going through a layer mixer and the mode is set to lighten. Shouldn't the black shadows in the top node be replaced with pink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jussi Rovanperä March 17, 2018 Share March 17, 2018 Is the color generators input connected to anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Evans March 17, 2018 Author Share March 17, 2018 Yes. Both nodes are linked to a node with black shadows + greens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Mansi March 18, 2018 Share March 18, 2018 It's one of the odd things about Resolve that when you add layers this way , the 'top' layer is in fact the bottom layer as viewed in the node tree. Have you tried swapping the inputs to the layer mixer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Evans March 19, 2018 Author Share March 19, 2018 I have tried to swap the inputs around but unfortunately with no luck. In this setup the layer mixer is set to lighten and what I expect to see is that the blacks from the top node should be replaced with yellow.

Jussi Rovanperä March 19, 2018 Share March 19, 2018 The yellow is replacing everything that is darker than it, in this case the whole image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Evans April 1, 2018 Author Share April 1, 2018 That explains everything, thanks @Jussi Rovanperä. Any blending mode I can use to replace black in this instance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jussi Rovanperä April 2, 2018 Share April 2, 2018 You could try screen or add, those will not just replace the black, but the black will become orange. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
