Blend mode for stamps

Post by Borst »

Hi,

I would like stamps to have the Blend mode options. In combination with "recolor stamp..." you could create more flexible overlays of parts of documents/plans.

Stamps already have this property, since you can edit it with the "match property"- plugin. But it's somehow hidden and it would be much easier to have a native option in the property sidebar.

Thanks for considering this request.

Hello, Borst

Stamps as a whole do not display the blend mode option because individual element inside of a stamp can have blend mode configured before the content becomes a stamp - that is then retained during placement of the stamp in any target file.
EG;

I can suggest to the Dev team that an override would be well appreciated, but I am unsure if it would be possible to do this in a way that respect the PDF specification.

Kind regards,
