Compositing node
Blend
Combines two images with a wide range of blend modes — Multiply, Screen, Overlay, and more — plus an opacity dial. This is how you layer a glowing shape over live video, or double-expose two textures.
What it does
Blend is a compositing node: it layers, masks and routes pictures. It takes picture in and gives picture out.
Try it
Screen-blend a glowing shape over live video for a lightweight double-exposure look.
