This set me on an interesting trail. I haven’t found anything yet that links Porter and Duff to the modern blend modes as we know them, but I did find this 1984 SIGGRAPH paper they authored that appears to have laid much of the groundwork! https://graphics.pixar.com/library/Compositing/paper.pdf https://graphics.pixar.com/library/Compositing/paper.pdf
- stoeckley 4y agoI don't know the history, but there is supposedly a fixed set of Porter Duff blend modes, specific algorithms. For example, this C++ library: > Blend2D supports all Porter & Duff compositing operators https://blend2d.com/ https://blend2d.com/ Also, the link shared by one of the sibling comments can be searched for "Porter" to see how they are referenced: https://drafts.fxtf.org/compositing/ https://drafts.fxtf.org/compositing/
