Setting the blendmode of a layer?

[KenC]

Is there a command to set the blendmode of the current layer?

No, It's on the TODO list

Great, will be a very usefull feature to have and speed up many multi layer actions.

[Hervé]

the new cmd in the 9.5.5:
* tv_layerblendingmode layerid [ Color | Behind | Erase | Shade | Light | Colorize | Hue | Add | Sub | Multiply | Screen | Replace | Copy | ReplaceSet | Difference | Divide | Overlay | Light2 | Shade2 | HardLight | SoftLight | GrainExtract | GrainMerge | Sub2 | Darken | Lighten | Saturation ]

Ken,
did you end up completing the 'unsharp' script, now that you have the blend mode change command?
If so, mind sharing it?

[KenC]

Not yet, I'll see if I can whip something up now that we can set the blendmode.

btw the names of the blendmodes are slightly different for some of the mode compared to the list Hervé posted.

Hue=Tint
Copy=Substitute
ReplaceSet=Difference
Light2=Dodge (Light2)
Shade2=Burn (Shade2)
HardLight=Hard Light
SoftLight=Soft Light
GrainExtract=Grain Extract
GrainMerge=Grain Merge
Sub2=Subtract
Darken=Darken Only
Lighten=Lighten Only
Saturation=Saturate2

I think these are correct, someone correct me if I'm wrong, I just went by the original list and compared to the names in the blendmode popup in TVPaint.

Uploaded a single layer version here.

I'm no good at scripting animated layers yet, so perhaps someone could expand it to work on animated layers.
