The Exclusion Blending Mode

The Exclusion blending mode works very much like Difference but the contrast is lower. When white is the blend color, the base image is inverted. When black is the blend color, there is no change.

Like the Difference blending mode, Exclusion is used mostly for image alignment and special effects.
