[Qgis-developer] Blend modes for labels?

[Andreas Neumann]

 Hi,

 I tested the blend modes with white bold labels on top of a orthofoto 
 and unfortunately I could not find a blend mode that fitted my needs. I 
 was hoping to find a mode that would result in the exact negative of the 
 underlying graphics - meaning if the backgrund is dark, the label should 
 be bright and vice versa. The "Substract" and "Difference" modes are 
 close, but not satisfying in my case.

 Thanks anyway for making these blend modes available - they will be 
 useful in some cases!

 Andreas
