It's always possible - but I checked my posted list and it isn't there ...

I just checked, and I should expect
Quote: Hurricane force winds- Humidity
- 69%
- Pressure
- 1009 mb
- Visibility
- Good
Temperature feels like 4°C / 39°F Precipitation is not expected Hurricane force winds from the north east, 6259 MPH
Sounds like a good drying day.

Many a religious text has predicted the apocalypse, but in the end it was the BBC Weather app who predicted it correctly.
But lo and behold, people laugh and tell you not to worry.

‘tis a beautiful summer’s day...
All is well, every bird is singing, and three venerable old gentlemen are gathered in the splendid garden of their retirement home. And, a question pops up:
“What is the fastest thing in Universe?”
“But everybody knows the answer to that! It is light. Nothing can travel faster than light. Einstein even provided mathematical proof.”
“Delusions, delusions! It is thought. My thought can travel from this hammock, to the Andromeda galaxy – millions of light years away – in a blink. That is countless of magnitudes faster.”
“Ah my dearest friends... have you learnt nothing? The fastest thing, in Universe, is crap.”
“Crap?”
“Crap??”
“But yes of course! I can can crap meself, before even thinking at all.”
.Coat? Oh! Dear Heavens, where on Earth did I leave my coat?

For this one, you will not even have time to grab your coat.

I'm not sure if this will bear any fruit, but I'm asking on the off chance someone might know what I am going on about below.
I understand alpha-blending (pixels w/ opacity)
I don't understand compositing modes
They are something like these, but in my codebase they are not called this.
Blend modes - Wikipedia[^]
static const composition_function_t composition_solid_table[] = {
composition_solid_source,
composition_solid_source_over,
composition_solid_destination_in,
composition_solid_destination_out,
};
static const composition_function_t composition_table[] = {
composition_source,
composition_source_over,
composition_destination_in,
composition_destination_out,
};
These are the blend/compositing modes as they appear in my codebase.
The implementation of those functions is here, in case anyone's interested
plutovg/source/plutovg-blend.c at main · sammycage/plutovg · GitHub[^]
I need to adapt them so I need to understand them. I've tried following the code, but obviously I'm not doing it right because when I try to adapt it to do read/writes to RGB565 bitmaps some of my colors are coming back wrong.
For the most part I am using "composition_solid_source" and composition_solid_source_over" and the "source over" is what is confusing to me. I don't know what that means.
Any graphics afficionados/nadas be able to explain this to me in high level terms?

I use Photoshop v7 (2002) and only in the simplest of ways really, so I don't think I can help you. Though I will if I can.

I think I grok Photoshop quite well. I think the Wiki does a fine job of explaining the plethora of blend modes.
All PS blend modes produce one resulting RGBA layer, from two RGBA layers in.
It seems to me, after (possibly too) quick glance, that the functions you point to, take one RGBA in.
I assume you know this: The multiplication of R * R is not a direct integer MUL. It is a "normalised" MUL.
i.e. 0x80 * 0x80 is not 0x4000 it must be seen as 0.5 * 0.5 == 0.25

In photoshop, you can superpose different layers, and decide for each how it will "blend" with the layers below.
The simplest blend way is to simply superpose the layer content, so you see at first what is on the layer on top, then what is on the layer below it but for what is on the first layer, and so on. Like a pile of cards that are not aligned, you'll see the top card and bits of the cards below it if you look from above.
And then you can apply a formula for each layer blending, that can be different for each. For the pile of cards, you can say that you want to merge only the red colors in the final rendering, or the pixels that are above a certain saturation value, or below a certain brightness, and ignore all other, or multiply the pixel values. If you have a pile of blue and red cards, and only merge red, you'll end up with a solid big chunk of merge red cards surrounded by bits of untouched blue cards below (assuming the top card is red).
As you pointed out, each of the layers have an opacity value (alpha-blending) which is independent from the blending mode.
It is quite easy to grasp if you can get in touch with a photoshop version : simply create a bunch of layers with different geometrical shapes on them, and play with the predefined blending/compistion mode for each layer.
