Normal Blend Mode

Normal is the default blending mode where the top layer simply covers layers beneath it.

Overview

Normal mode displays pixels exactly as they exist without interaction calculations. The top layer replaces underlying pixels wherever it is opaque.

This mode is used when no blending effect is desired and full opacity is needed. Transparency and opacity adjustments still apply.

Designers use Normal mode for base layers, text elements, and graphics that should remain visually unchanged.

Although simple, Normal mode forms the foundation from which all other blending effects operate.
