I would like to see the ability to say the curtain effect as it opens there is an underlying effect like butterfly showing as the curtain effect is opening.
I have finished this new layer mode.
Before i release it, what should i call it?
Image effect 1 is butterfly, effect 2 is curtain.
Here were the 4 existing combo's
1 is Mask.
This layering will draw a black cell on effect 2 every time effect 1 is non black. In other words effect 1 is cast as a shadow on effect 2
2 is Mask.
This layering will draw a black cell on effect 1 every time effect 2 is non black. In other words effect 2 is cast as a shadow on effect 1
1 is unmask.
This layering will replace any cell in Effect 1 with the color from effect 2 every time effect 1 is non black.
In other words effect 1 is a mask onto effect2
2 is unmask.
This layering will replace any cell in Effect 2 with the color from effect 1 every time effect 2 is non black.
In other words effect 2 is a mask onto effect 1
Two new choices I just added
Mask 1 over 2
Any non Black cell on effect 1 will override whatever is in effect 2
This becomes Effect 1 put on top of effect 2
Mask 2 over 1
Any non Black cell on effect 2 will override whatever is in effect 1
This becomes Effect 1 put on top of effect 2
So are there better names?
1 is mask (these feel like a shadow is cast by 1)
2 is mask
1 is unmask (this feels like a true mask. effect 1 allows effect 2 to show)
2 is unmask
mask 1 over 2 (1 sits on top of 2)
mask 2 over 1 (2 sits on top of 1)
here is what the last layer effect looks like. mask 2 over 1.
effect 1 is text
effect 2 is curtain

How about "Overlay 1 & 2"

Reveal works better as "the curtain opened to reveal the stage"

Reveal works better as "the curtain opened to reveal the stage"
It's done and over with, BUT it works with more than curtain so to me it is more than a "Reveal" If just curtain than yes "Reveal" fits perfectly! Just my $.000005 worth.

wow, so much discussion on something i did not give much thought to.
i had superimpose, reveal, overlay suggested, none match perfectly.
i picked reveal as it was as good as any. it had fewer letters.
superimpose matches what video editing software would call it.
i just wanted people to get an idea what the layering effect would be.
notice that there is now a help tip that pops up giving more info on layering . i will try to get these pop up tip windows on more places on the screen.
