The Color Burn Blending Mode

The Color Burn blending mode increases the contrast to darken the base color while reflecting the blend color. The darker the blend color, the more intensely the color will be applied in the base image. White as the blend color produces no change.

As you can see from the example, using the color burn blend mode can produce some rather harsh results at full opacity.

The Color Burn blend mode can be used to make tonal and color adjustments to a photo. For example, you can intensify color and warm an image by color burning a pale orange color blend onto the base image. This might transform a mid-day scene to give the illusion it was taken at dusk.
