Gradient Mixer Component

The Gradient Mixer component generates a new gradient by blending a number of input gradient layers with layer blending operations.

Gradient mixing operations

The following examples mix these gradients:

First Gradient	Second Gradient

Note:

The Opacity property of a gradient applies after its Operation.

Mixing Operation	Description	Mixed Gradient
Initialize	Initializes the values of the mixed gradient to the values of the current gradient layer. Unlike the Normal operation, when Opacity is less than 1, the current gradient layer will not blend with the result of previous layers.
Multiply	Multiplies the values of the current gradient with the result of previous layers.
Linear Dodge (Add)	Adds the values of the current gradient with the result of previous layers.
Subtract	Subtracts the values of the current gradient from the result of previous layers.
Darken (Min)	Selects the minimum value from the current gradient and the result of previous layers.
Lighten (Max)	Selects the maximum value from the current gradient and the result of previous layers.
Average	Averages the values of the current gradient and the result of previous layers.
Normal	Uses the value of Opacity to average the values of the current gradient and the result of previous layers. Selects the value of the current gradient if Opacity equals 1.
Overlay	Increases the contrast of high and low values in the mixed gradient. If the result of previous layers has a value less than .5, the operation will darken the blend of gradients. For values greater than .5 the blend of gradients becomes lighter.
