Formula
RESULT = BASE - BACKGROUND
Subtracts the colors of the background from the Base Color. Alpha has no effect on this Blend Mode. This is different from the conventional Difference blend mode found in traditional image editing software. Due to internal limitations, it does NOT take the absolute value of the difference. As a result, this blend mode is non-commutative, which differs from the traditional “difference”. Notable Values: White = Invert all pixels (black becomes white and white becomes black) (1-X); Black = Produces black (0-X=0).
