Lighten blending mode issue, DaVinci Resolve


Recommended Posts

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.

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?

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?

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.
