Color mode (multiply) for image overlay

Hi, Zio -- Would it be possible for you to share a screenshot of what you are seeing or possibly your file so that we can take a closer look for you? 

I can completely corroborate this, image color modes do not work in Storyline 2 I'm afraid.  Anytime you set an image to a color mode other than normal, it appears completely black.

Hi, Patrick -- Thank you for your response! You would also be welcome to share your file or a screenshot if you'd like us to take a closer look. :)

Okay, I'll bite.  Bear in mind that the black-out occurs for any color mode and not just Overlay which was just used for the example.

Hi Patrick! 

Thanks for sharing your example as well as your file for us to take a peek at. If you right-click on the image to format, then adjust the transparency - I do believe it's working as you wish.

Your updated file attached.

Hi Leslie, blend mode should work without applying transparency. There are lot of softwares that make use of this layers color combinations (Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Powerpoint) and it is also a supported CSS feature. When you overlap two or more layer, the blend mode set on the upper layer affect the result of the global image where the layers overlaps. Colors are combined using different algorithms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blend_modes

In Storyline 2 the blend modes, other than "normal", are not working as they should.

see example: expected multiply blend mode versus result in Storyline 2

Hi Zio! 

Thanks for the explanation. I do not use these features very often. Would you be able to share an example so that we can get this reported and our QA Team can start working on this? You can share here.

Leslie, if you look at the samples I posted 5 days ago, you will see the issue directly in play.

Thanks for sharing. I will share this with our QA Team to look into further.
