Blend modes (aka apply modes or composite modes) give you more flexible ways of mixing layers. Rather than simply making every pixel equally transparent as you blend, you can choose, for example, to have dark pixels blend more than light ones. Within a filter, blend modes might apply an effect based on the difference between the brightness of pixels on two layers. Blend modes produce dramatic looks, but they¹re processing-intensive.
