Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this but I have an image that I am trying to add an inner glow to. It all works fine if the glow is light coloured but as soon as I try to make the glow a darker colour then it just vanishes altogether.

Does anyone know why this is or how to add a black inner glow?

Answer 1

The blending modes play with the darkness and lightness as u can say ,

and there are 2 main sections that i usually use

1st) Darken modes (shows dark colors only)

like multiply (it shows only black and dark colors and hides white

2nd) lighten modes (shows white colors only)

like screen (which hides black and darken from the photo and appears white and lighten colors)

check this page it may help you understanding blending modes

Answer 2

Because the "Blend Mode" is set to Screen.

If you want to use Dark color, you can either:

Set the Blend mode to "Multiply"

OR

Use "Inner Shadow" instead of "Inner Glow".
