Adobe Photoshop Raster Ops

The following table describes the raster ops (or combine and apply modes) available in Adobe Photoshop which are useful for spectral selection operations.

Raster Op Description Equation
Normal Regular pixel assignment P = A
Difference Absolute value difference of image A pixel and image B pixel P = abs(A-B)+abs(B-A)
Add Sum of image A pixel and image B pixel, overflow is truncated P = A+B
Subtract Subtraction of image B pixel from image A pixel, underflow is truncated P = A-B
Multiply Normalized multiplication of image A pixel with image B pixel P = normalize(A*B)
Darker Maximum of image A pixel and image B pixel P = max(A,B)
Lighter Minimum of image A pixel and image B pixel P = min(A,B)
