Tool usage guide
The Image Soft Light Blend tool allows you to merge two images using a soft light blending mode, creating gentle, professional-grade contrast enhancements and subtle lighting effects.
Background
A portrait photographer wants to add a vintage, warm light leak effect to a studio shot.
Problem
Standard overlays look too harsh and unnatural when applied with normal blending.
How to use
Upload the portrait as the base image and a light leak texture as the overlay, then set opacity to 0.4.
opacity: 0.4, format: 'png'Outcome
The portrait gains a soft, warm glow that integrates naturally with the skin tones and background.
Background
A designer is creating a UI mockup and needs to add depth to a flat background element.
Problem
The background looks too plain and lacks visual interest.
How to use
Use the background as the base and a subtle noise texture as the overlay to create a soft, tactile feel.
opacity: 0.2, format: 'webp'Soft light is a blending mode that darkens or lightens colors depending on the overlay image, resulting in a subtle, diffused contrast effect similar to shining a spotlight through a filter.
Yes, you can use the 'Overlay Opacity' slider to adjust the intensity of the blend from 0.0 (no effect) to 1.0 (full intensity).
The tool supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and TIFF formats for both input and output.
