Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

hi together,
a'hem new to tv paint ...
... and here's my first question:

Are there transfer modes (like in PS or AE) to merge layers ?
I only found add, multiply, screen and so on for brushes, and not for general layer "mathematics".

The only way to use other merge modes is by actually merging the layers,
by drag-n-dropping one layer "on" the other (use the icons on the left of the timeline). Then a popup shows-up for you to choose the merge mode.

There are no other modes available while "merging" the layers for display.

Thanx ematecki, for promt response, .... great !
And nice to see OSX development. Big double cheeese.

Yep, that's what I'm looking for. Technologie seems to be there.
In my opinion this important (hidden) feature should be implemented less destructive.
For example: Give 'em an own "fx-pipe", so we can use it in fx-stacks, ... with preview ...
Would be great !!!
