This might be super simple and I’m just confused, but on the piece I’m working on, when I make my layer multiply it lightens the image, and if I change it to Lighten it darkens it instead. Have I accidentally switched a setting? I really do’t know how to change it back
Hello,
You set your Color Space to CMYK. In this color space the blend modes work inversely compared to a RGB/A mode.
The why: RGB is an Additive color mode, meaning that all the colors make White and the blend modes are designed ‘thinking’ of this type of color space.
CMYK is a subtractive mode, all the color mixed together make Black, like with real world pigments. Because of this the blend modes work au contraire.
Cheers.

Just want to say that this will be configurable in the next version,and by default the modes will work similar in other modes and rgb and also the same as photoshop. See the relevant merge request here: A draft fix for CMYK blending modes (!1796) · Merge requests · Graphics / Krita · GitLab
