Many Thanks! :D Did you have a reliable recipe to export (or import) a snapshot of an image with a blend mode (or ink effect) applied? Try this: 1) Import two images: a) transparent black and white png (ubuntu logo) http://design.ubuntu.com/wp-content/uploads/logo-ubuntu_cof-white_black-hex.png b) color jpg image (ubuntu glass logo) https://roboticsclub.org/redmine/projects/scoutmech/repository/revisions/126146b75ea50ed09523a8c2cc85c83ee7d6f93b/entry/docs/DocumentationImages/WebsiteMarketing/WebsiteSlider/ubuntu_glass_logo.jpg 2) Apply a blend mode (or ink effect) like blendPlus or blendMultiply or notSrcOr, etc, etc, etc. to these images. 3) Import or export a snapshot of these images and place the result in the same card. The result is exactly like original images, without the blend (or ink applied) How could we import an image that shows the ink effect? Thanks in advance!
