Color mode (multiply) for image overlay

I have had the same issue, ever since I started using Storyline 2 years ago. The blend mode has never worked, just displaying the black rectangle Patrick and Zio mention, so much so that I have never bothered to check till now if this had been fixed.

Evidently not.

I concur. Blend modes have never worked properly for me in SL2. I have always had to go into Photoshop to get the results desired.

I shared the examples and statements from this thread with our QA Team to look further into Diarmaid and Brett. Now that you've responded, you should be subscribed to any applicable updates posted in this thread. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Thanks Leslie. Blend modes can be really useful when they work properly, e.g., highlighting something onscreen cleanly without obscuring it with a semi-transparent shape as I see so often.

Right - I think that's what Zio and Patrick were trying to emphasize to me and thankfully they were patient enough to explain as obviously this is not something I work with much :) I'm going to add your thoughts for the team as well Brett and I appreciate your feedback.

Hi Tom!

I do not have an update to provide at this time as this is still in the hands of our QA Team. This thread is attached for update when applicable.

Hi Leslie - Have there been any updates on this issue? We'd like to use blend modes if they are functioning properly. Thx!

Hey Matthew - I do not have an update to provide on this issue at this time. We are trying to do a better job at tracking user impact though, so I will add this for our QA Team and add to our agenda.

Hi Lesie - Just checking in to see if there are any updates? For those of us who design layouts for our eLearning courses in other programs, such as Adobe Photoshop or Indesign, the lack of blend modes significantly limits design choices. 

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for checking in on this! I don't have any updates yet, but it's always helpful to hear more about how this would help with your course design. Also, in case you're curious here's how we manage the Feature process.
