CDriv3 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I have 3 different layers, each varying in opacity. How can I blend them all equally? Am I just dumb? 85op/85op/85op does not work. 85/175/255 does not work. what is my dumbass missing? Also, what order do i merge them? middle->bottom, top->middle/bottom; or top->middle, top/middle->bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardneh Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Not sure if this will do what you want, but try it: Top layer Opacity 85 Mid layer Opacity 128 Base layer Opacity 255 Regarding merging the layers, when the image looks the way you want it to look, then: Merge Mid layer down into Base, then merge Top layer down. or Image > Flatten 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution MJW Posted January 22, 2022 Solution Share Posted January 22, 2022 The pattern, in case it's not implicit from @ardneh's comment, is that each layer's opacity is divided by its distance from the bottom, starting at 1. So for five layers: Top: Opacity 51 = 255/5 Next: Opacity 64 = 255/4 (rounded) Next: Opacity 85 = 255/3 Next: Opacity 128 = 255/2 (rounded) Base: Opacity 255 = 255/1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
