And as Brendan and Chris says the Lighten/Darken(color) do= es that... i have used it for exactly the case you mention about combining = depth channels before.

Really, that's=A0interesting!=A0I never knew that. I&#= 39;m not infront of a AE workstation at the moment but I will test it as so= on as possible. An example workflow where this is useful is combining two d= ifferent depth passes where you have a separate render closer to camera. Us= ing a max would combine the two depth channels correctly, as it return the = maximum (hightest) pixel value.=A0

I guess the question is Min the same as= Darken or Darken Color (as one works off of overall luminance values, whil= e 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 e= ffect, but it's 8bit only. 3rd party plug-ins?

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