Blend Modes-Color and Linear Dodge-08

Color Dodge Blending Mode
Looks at the color information in each channel and brightens the base color to reflect the blend color by decreasing the contrast. Blending with black produces no change. When you apply the Color Dodge modes, each color in the layer becomes a brightness-value multiplier. Light colors such as white produce the greatest effect, and black drops away.

Linear Dodge Blending Mode
Create similar effect with Color Dodge. Looks at the color information in each channel and brightens the base color to reflect the blend color by increasing the brightness. Blending with black produces no change. Linear Dodge creates similar but smoother effect than Color Dodge.
