Are you happy?

I can think of a lot of uses for this.

It appears that for overlay mode I won't be able to make the alpha blending working. It's due to how glsl's output merger belnding states work. I can work around this by making blending modes as a shader, but I wanted to make them native and accessible by setting for example image.blending("overlay"). To make it as a shader it would require to render all the theme objects on the master surface and then pass that surface to the shader to be used as a back buffer.

The good side of this is that I'm not limited to just 4 blending modes. I could do all the ones that Photoshop provides and many more.

Tell me what do you think.

I chose the shade route

usage is as simple as:

Code: [Select]
local bl = Blender( fe.layout.width, fe.layout.height )

local image1 = bl.add_image( "image1.png", 100, 100, BlendMode.Add )
local image2 = bl.add_image( "image2.png", 200, 200, BlendMode.Overlay )

All the image properties and functions are inherited, so you only substitute fe. with bl. and specify the blending mode and that's it

If this were available for download I'd be testing it on a new layout I have. There are some shadowing and highlights that might be nice to use these on instead of cut PNGs.
