Simple blendmode equations

multiply a * b
screen 1 - (1 - a) * (1 - b)
darken min(a, b)
lighten max(a, b)
difference abs(a - b)
negation 1 - abs(1 - a - b)
exclusion a + b - 2 * a * b
overlay a < .5 ? (2 * a * b) : (1 - 2 * (1 - a) * (1 - b))
hard light b < .5 ? (2 * a * b) : (1 - 2 * (1 - a) * (1 - b))
soft light b < .5 ? (2 * a * b + a * a * (1 - 2 * b)) : (sqrt(a) * (2 * b - 1) + (2 * a) * (1 - b))
dodge a / (1 - b)
burn 1 - (1 - a) / b
