Hello,

I think it’s useful to add the `blend mode` to the text, the solid color, and the image properties.

Best regards

I’m curious about your use case. Is there a time where this would be required instead of using the layer’s blend mode?

Hello Laura,  
I didn’t realize that blend modes exist between layers. Now I’ve found the option, so I’ll close this issue. Sorry for the false alarm.
