Definition: Graduated shades that progress smoothly from one color to another are called a blend. The colors blend together gradually.
A linear blend is a horizontal or vertical blend from one to the next. A radial blend radiates from a color in the middle to a different color to the outside. Blends can be composed of multiple colors, such as from light to dark to light to dark again.
Blend can also refer to the mixing of pixels in specific ways on multiple layers of an image. In this type of blend the opacity of the layer is adjusted to show more or less color.
Pronunciation: [blend]
