Difference in blending modes between FF and Chrome

  • Problem Description

    Apparently for at least the blend mode "Destination Out" FireFox 35.0.1 and Chrome 40.0.2214.93 m seem to display the same thing in a different fashion.

    Description of Capx

    Based on the example "Blendmodes.capx" provided with C2.

    The capx is supposed to display the result of the same blend mode applied to a sprite over another.

    Both Sprite (the cog) and Sprite 2 (the HTML5 logo) are in the layer effects which forces texture on.

    I added another instance of Sprite2 in the layer background for the purpose of the demonstration. I also added the drag drop behavior to the Sprite 2 to make it easier to experiment.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    • Execute the capx in Chrome
    • Drag drop the biggest HTML5 logo, all works as expected, notice how the big logo in the background appears on a deeper layer and how the smallest logo keeps its colors.
    • Execute in FF
    • Notice how the bigger logo appears to be in front of the other images. Notice how the smaller logo has its colors changed and "overexposed" when being overlapped by the bigger logo.

    Observed Result

    In FF the colors of the smaller logo change and seems overexposed.

    The layer's order does not seem to be respected as well.

    Expected Result

    The display that happens in Chrome to be the same in FF.

    Affected Browsers

    • Chrome: (YES)
    • FireFox: (YES)
    • Internet Explorer: (Not tested)

    Operating System and Service Pack

    Win 7 pro SP1

    Construct 2 Version ID

    R195

  • I tested out the capx in FF, Chrome, NodeWebkit, and IE.

    I seem to get the same additive blending effect in FF.

    Below is an image showing screenshot comparisons of the four platforms I tested.

    I changed the background image to a stone texture with a sharply defined edge, to make the FireFox blending behavior easier to see.

    At the far right is a recreation of the FF example composed entirely in Photoshop, with the Logo set to additive (Linear Dodge) blend, and overlapping the stone. I lined up the recreation to match the FF example, down to the pixel, and the resulting Photoshop recreation is exactly identical to the FF version.

    So it looks like FF really is using the additive blending mode for some reason.

    FF: v35.0

    Chrome: v40.0.2214.93 m

    Hope this helps out.
