I found out that if you want to see the what the various blending modes will do, you can toggle though them quickly if you highlight normal and use the middle scroll on your mouse.

dgangloff -- Cool! :cool:

I've never noticed that. Works for me, and will speed things up when I want to try a few different blends to see which I prefer.

Nice TIp, I alwyas forget about that scroll button.
Guess I'm too use to the up/down arrow keys :)

Nice tip, I hope you don't mind me sharing the wealth on other forums I goto.
