anyone knows what is the math operation behind Spotlight Blend in Blend Mode.
very helpfull blend mode, but no clear what it is doing under the hood.
thanks!
I don’t know the math particularly, but I use spotlight blend all the time and I find that screen plus spotlight blend equals additive. There’s just a lot more control and nuance with the two blend modes dialed in to taste, as opposed to one add layer. Curious how you are using it?

@GPM, thanks for your input!
I’m mainly use it for ligh wrapings. quick ex.: bluring front and comping on top in Spotlight Blend mode with a edge matte. nice quick results!
just found it!
- Spotlight Like Multiply but with twice the brightness.
- Spotlight Blend Same as Spotlight but also adds ambient illumination to B.
rest of operation here…
