Enum Constants
Enum Constant and Description
`ADD` `Add` is the opposite of `Subtract`.
`AVERAGE` The `Average` blending mode produces an average of the source and blend colors.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - AVERAGE
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode AVERAGE
```
    The Average blending mode produces an average of the source and blend colors. The image will push colors toward the middle, reducing the extremes.
  - STAMP
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode STAMP
```
    Similar to AVERAGE, but more severely lightens or darkens the edge colors.
  - DARKEN
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode DARKEN
```
    The Darken blend mode compares the color information for each pixel of the base and the blend color and applies the darker color as the result. Any pixels in the base image that are lighter than the blend color are replaced, and pixels that are darker are left unchanged. No part of the image will become lighter.
  - MULTIPLY
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode MULTIPLY
```
    The Multiply blend mode multiplies the base color with the blend color. The resulting color will always be darker, unless the blend color is white, which will result in no change. 100% opaque black multiplied with any color will result in black. As you overlay strokes of color with the Multiply blending mode, each stroke will result in darker and darker color.
  - COLOR_BURN
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode COLOR_BURN
```
    The Color Burn blending mode increases the contrast to darken the base color while reflecting the blend color. The darker the blend color, the more intensely the color will be applied in the base image. White as the blend color produces no change.
  - INVERSE_COLOR_BURN
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode INVERSE_COLOR_BURN
```
    Inverse Color Burn is the same as Color Burn with the source and destination swapped.
  - SOFT_BURN
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode SOFT_BURN
```
  - SUBTRACT
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode SUBTRACT
```
    The Subtract blend mode is similar to Color Burn but instead of increasing contrast, it decreases brightness to darken the base color and reflect the blend color. It is also similar to the Multiply blend mode, but produces a much more intense result. White as the blend color produces no change.
    This mode is also known as Linear Burn.
  - LIGHTEN
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode LIGHTEN
```
    The Lighten blending mode compares the color information for each pixel of the base and the blend color and applies the lighter color as the result. Any pixels in the base image that are darker than the blend color are replaced, and pixels that are lighter are left unchanged. No part of the image will become darker.
  - SCREEN
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode SCREEN
```
    The Screen blending mode is the opposite of the Multiply mode in that it multiples the inverse of the base color with the blend color. What this means is that your image will get lighter overall. In areas where the blend color is black, the base image will be unchanged, and in areas where the blend or base color is white, the result will be no change. Dark areas in the base image will become significantly lighter, and bright areas will become only slightly lighter.
  - COLOR_DODGE
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode COLOR_DODGE
```
    The Color Dodge blending mode is essentially the opposite of Color Burn. The Color Dodge blending mode decreases the contrast to brighten the base color while reflecting the blend color. The lighter the blend color, the more significant the color dodge effect will be making the result brighter, with less contrast, and tinted toward the blend color. Black as the blend color produces no change.
  - INVERSE_COLOR_DODGE
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode INVERSE_COLOR_DODGE
```
    Inverse Color Dodge is the same as Color Dodge with the source and destination swapped.
  - SOFT_DODGE
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode SOFT_DODGE
```
  - ADD
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode ADD
```
    Add is the opposite of Subtract. It increases brightness to lighten the base color and reflect the blend color. It is also similar to the Screen blend mode, but produces a more intense result. Black as the blend color produces no change.
    This mode is also known as Linear Dodge.
  - OVERLAY
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode OVERLAY
```
    The Overlay blending mode preserves the highlights and shadows of the base color while mixing the base color and the blend color. It is a combination of the Multiply and Screen blending modes--multiplying the dark areas, and screening the light areas. A blend color of 50% gray has no effect on the base image.
  - SOFT_LIGHT
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode SOFT_LIGHT
```
    The Soft Light blend mode creates a subtle lighter or darker result depending on the brightness of the blend color. Blend colors that are more than 50% brightness will lighten the base image and colors that are less than 50% brightness will darken the base image. Pure black will create a slightly darker result; pure white will create a slightly lighter result, and 50% gray will have no effect on the base image.
  - HARD_LIGHT
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode HARD_LIGHT
```
    Hard Light drastically lightens or darkens the base image depending on the brightness of the blend color. The effect is more intense than Soft Light because the contrast is also increased. Blend colors that are more than 50% brightness will lighten the base image in the same way as the screen blending mode. Colors that are less than 50% brightness will darken the base image in the same way as the multiply blending mode. Pure black will result in black; pure white will create a white result, and 50% gray will have no effect on the base image.
  - VIVID_LIGHT
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode VIVID_LIGHT
```
    Burns or dodges the colors by increasing or decreasing the contrast, depending on the blend color. If the blend color is lighter than 50% grey, the image is lightened by decreasing the contrast. If the blend color is darker than 50% grey, the image is darkened by increasing the contrast.
  - LINEAR_LIGHT
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode LINEAR_LIGHT
```
  - PIN_LIGHT
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode PIN_LIGHT
```
  - HARD_MIX
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode HARD_MIX
```
  - REFLECT
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode REFLECT
```
  - GLOW
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode GLOW
```
  - FREEZE
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode FREEZE
```
  - HEAT
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode HEAT
```
  - DIFFERENCE
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode DIFFERENCE
```
    The Difference blending mode highlights the differences between the blend layer and the base layer. The more technical explanation is that the blend color is subtracted from the base color--or vice-versa, depending on the brightness--and the result is the difference between them. When white is the blend color, the base image is inverted. When black is the blend color, there is no change.
  - EXCLUSION
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode EXCLUSION
```
    The Exclusion blending mode works very much like Difference but the contrast is lower. When white is the blend color, the base image is inverted. When black is the blend color, there is no change.
  - HUE
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode HUE
```
    The Hue blend mode applies the hue of the blend color to the base image while retaining the luminance and saturation of the base image. It gives the base image a tinted effect where the tinting is darkest in areas of high saturation. Where the blend color is a shade of gray (0% saturation), the base image is desaturated and where the base image is gray, the Hue blending mode has no effect.
  - SATURATION
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode SATURATION
```
    The Saturation blending mode applies the saturation of the blend color to the base image while retaining the hue and luminance of the base image. Neutral tones (black, white, and gray) in the blend will desaturate the base image. Neutral areas in the base image will not be changed by the saturation blending mode.
  - COLOR
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode COLOR
```
    The Color blending mode applies the hue and saturation of the blend color to the base image while retaining the luminance of the base image. Simply put, it colors the base image. Neutral blend colors will desaturate the base image.
  - LUMINOSITY
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode LUMINOSITY
```
    The Luminosity blending mode applies the luminosity (brightness) of the blend colors to the base image while retaining the hue and saturation of the base image. Luminosity is the opposite of the Color blending mode.
  - NEGATION
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode NEGATION
```
    This one is the "opposite" of difference mode. Note that it is NOT difference mode inverted, because black and white return the same result, but colors between become brighter instead of darker. This mode can be used to invert parts of the base image, but NOT to compare two images.
  - RED
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode RED
```
    Keeps the red channel from the blend image and the green and blue channels from the base image.
  - GREEN
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode GREEN
```
    Keeps the green channel from the blend image and the red and blue channels from the base image.
  - BLUE
```
public static final BlendComposite.BlendingMode BLUE
```
    Keeps the blue channel from the blend image and the red and green channels from the base image.
