Photo blender pen7/22/2023 ![]() When starting out using Xylene, I would recommend getting this pen because it is very easy to work with. It can be used for a lot of other things in the fine arts field, but in the letterboxing sense it will be used for a transfer. This is a marker with a clear tip, filled with Xylene. The first form I found Xylene in was a Chartpak Colorless Blender pen P-0 (201). If you use acetone/fingernail polish remover as your transfer method, then you must try Xylene because it will make your life so much easier and your transfers will improve. I used the acetone method to transfer images until I discovered Xylene and never turned back. Some have asked how Xylene compared to the acetone transfer method and I have to say that it blows the acetone method away! There is no comparison. ![]() I use Speedy Stamp to carve, and I used it on Speedy Cut where it also worked well. It might work on other mediums, but I've only tried it on rubber carving mediums. Xylene takes an image and chemically transfers it onto a medium. Once you use this method of transfer you will see for yourself just how easy and precise transfers can be. This method of transfer is very simple to use, it keeps details better than any other transfer method (heat transfer, acetone transfer, or tracing paper), it is portable, it allows you to use artwork that you've created on your computer (which can be much more technical), and it is very affordable. I have used it exclusively ever since to transfer images for carving. I was tipped off to the potential uses of the chemical Xylene by a friendly salesperson at a Pearl Art Store in Atlanta. It’s worth noting that setting a blend mode other than normal will generate a new stacking context which must then be blended with the stacking context that contains the element.This method of transfer may be used by other carvers, but I have not seen it anywhere. This is the inverse of the color attribute. ![]() luminosity: creates a color with the luminosity of the content and the hue and saturation of the background.color: creates a color with the hue and saturation of the content and the luminosity of the background.saturation: creates a color with the saturation of the content combined with the hue and luminosity of the background.hue: creates a color with the hue of the content combined with the saturation and luminosity of the background.exclusion: similar to difference but with lower contrast.difference: this subtracts the darker of the two colors from the lightest color.soft-light: depending on the color of the content this will darken or lighten it.hard-light: depending on the color of the content this attribute will screen or multiply it.color-burn: this darkens the background to reflect the content’s natural color.color-dodge: this attribute brightens the background color to reflect the color of the content.lighten: the background is replaced with the content where the content is lighter.darken: the background is replaced with the content where the content is darker, otherwise, it is left as it was.This is the inverse of the hard-light blend mode. overlay: multiplies or screens the content depending on the background color. ![]() This will result in content which is brighter than the background-color. screen: multiplies the background and the content then complements the result.The resulting color is always as dark as the background. multiply: the element is multiplied by the background and replaces the background color.normal: this attribute applies no blending whatsoever.: this is the attribute of one of the blend modes beneath:.unset: removes the current blend mode from an element.inherit: an element will inherit the blend mode from its parent element.initial: the default setting of the property that does not set a blend mode.In the meantime, a simple fix is to assign a white (or really, any) background color to the body element. The has been ticketed as Issue 711955 in Chrome, which is assigned at the time of this writing. There is an issue with Chrome 58+ where mix-blend-mode will not render on elements that are set on a transparent. This is just one of many values for this property. In the example above the content has been modified by the mix-blend-mode so that the colors of the text are excluded from its background.
