-The purpose of the Overlay Modes is to control the foreground and background stacking and use blending to reshape image object boundaries. It normally makes use of a binary type alpha blending system for all in or all out. To use the available operations in Cinelerra GG, follow these steps:

\item In the main window, look at the Patchbay on the far left.

Conceptually, when the foreground color is completely opaque, the resulting blended color will be the foreground color. If it is transparent, the blended color will be the color of the background. When the value of the alpha channel is $1$, the image is all there, if it is $0$, there is no image at all, otherwise it is only partially there. In other words, the alpha value goes from $0$ to $1$, where full transparency is $0$ and opaque is represented by $1$. Alpha blending models opacity.
-When blending source and destination shapes (Dst and Src), the shape boundaries can be changed with the alpha blending effects. There are a total of 10 standard Porter-Duff operators, but there are 30 possible overlay modes used in Cinelerra-GG. Each is characterized by its value in the four regions: source, destination and both, with the \textit{neither} region always being blank. The source and destination regions can either be blank or filled with the source or destination colors. A specific compositing math formula is used to calculate effect. This is only applicable to RGB; some effort has been made to accommodate YUV, but the effects are not as predictable, and may not be useful.

-Below, in figure~\ref{fig:normal}, are the results of utilizing the 30 available operations within Cinelerra as listed on a following page. Src is the solid green rectangle and Dst is the solid red rectangle. There are better illustrations of what alpha blending can do, however for consistency sake, these are the results when using standards.

\subsection*{Normal}%
\label{sub:normal2}
+\index{overlays!normal}
\begin{description}
\item[Normal:] Normal mode is the default layer mode. The result color is the source color. The layer on top covers the layers below it. If you want to see anything below the top layer when you use this mode, the layer must have some transparent areas. It is \textit{stacked on top}. Math formula used is different than that used by Gimp; there is no SVG equivalent.
\subsection*{Arithmetic Group:}%
\label{sub:arithmetic_group}
+\index{overlays!arithmetic}
Standard numerical operations.
\subsection*{Porter-Duff Group}%
\label{sub:porter-duff_group}
+\index{overlays!Porter-Duff}
Industry standard compositing operators.
\subsection*{Logical Group}%
\label{sub:logical_group}
+\index{overlays!logical}
\begin{description}
\item[Min:] The output color is the component-wise minimum value of the source and destination colors. There is no SVG or Gimp equivalent math formula.
\subsection*{Graphical Art Group}%
\label{sub:graphical_art_group}
+\index{overlays!graphical art}
Typical operations from popular \textit{paint} packages.
\item[Softlight:] Darkens or lightens the colors, dependent on the source color value. If the source color is lighter than 0.5, the destination is lightened. If the source color is darker than $0.5$, the destination is darkened, as if it were burned in. The degree of darkening or lightening is proportional to the difference between the source color and $0.5$. If it is equal to $0.5$, the destination is unchanged. Using pure black or white produces a distinctly darker or lighter area, but does not result in pure black or white. The effect is similar to shining a diffused spotlight on the destination. A layer with pure black or white becomes markedly darker or lighter, but does not become pure black or white. Soft light is not related to “Hard light” in anything but the name, but it does tend to make the edges softer and the colors not so bright. Math formula is the same as used by Gimp; SVG formula differs.
