Excellent David, I look forward to the update.

I've added some new blending modes to the 'Layers / Blend [standard]' filter, namely 'Red','Green','Blue','Soft burn' and 'Soft dodge'.
The description of these new blending modes can be found here.

cool, and thanks for the background info !

what is it with color burn/Dodge ?
that seems to be a mode that is used a lot in PS layerstyles - is there an equivalent in G'MIC or could one be made ?

@Esper : The 'soft dodge' and 'soft burn' modes are described here :

soft dodge : http://www.pegtop.net/delphi/articles/b ... /dodge.htm

and

soft burn : http://www.pegtop.net/delphi/articles/b ... s/burn.htm

To be honest, I don't have any intuition about the (soft or regular) dodge and burn modes. I've just recoded the formula, but I've absolutely no idea in which case it could be useful
