Abstract
Methods and apparatus implementing a technique for blending image layer data. A definition of a first layer of an image includes a solidity parameter beta, in the range zero to one inclusive, and a transfer mode having a transfer mode function T2. The first layer is blended with a second layer using a blending function T satisfying EQU T=normal(lower, upper).times.beta+T2(lower, upper).times.(1-beta).
