Really, that's interesting! I never knew that. I'm not infront of a AE workstation at the moment but I will test it as soon as possible. An example workflow where this is useful is combining two different depth passes where you have a separate render closer to camera. Using a max would combine the two depth channels correctly, as it return the maximum (hightest) pixel value.

I guess the question is Min the same as Darken or Darken Color (as one works off of overall luminance values, while the other calculates the R, G, and B channels separately).

Anyone know a way to use max and min blending modes in After Effects? I know you can use the Channel Combiner effect, but it's 8bit only. 3rd party plug-ins?


Isn't max and min the same as Lighten and Darken transfer modes?
