RGB or CMYK blending modes reflect what is possible in real world use.
Many blending modes rely on the interaction of light though colors. RGB is an additive color model - adding all colors together produces white. (add to get white). Because of how RGB colors work, it's possible to "filter" one aspect of a color and allow light to pass through the ...

The equivalent in Inkscape is an extension called Interpolate. From the main menu it's located at Extensions > Generate from Path > Interpolate.
You need to have two paths selected to use it. Shapes such as circles, polygons, or rectangles need to be converted to paths first, using Path > Object to Path
Example:
Edit: Please note however: I can think of ...

One possible method to do this would be to use Photoshop's Image Statistics script to stack the images.
Before you start, make sure both images are separate files, located in the same folder.
Click File > Scripts > Statistics, hit Browse, navigate to the images' location, and add the two images, set the Stack Mode to "Mean", and click OK. ...

These answers are not quite correct (at least not anymore). SVG actually does support some blending modes using the feBlend filter. You'll probably have to edit the actual SVG code of the file though. What you need to do is add a <feBlend> filter.
See this article for more info:
SVG Blend Modes
As you might suspect, SVG does have its own ...

Select all objects that you want changed;
Open your Swatches palette and click the New Colour Group button, a folder icon, on the bottom;
Click on the folder icon in front of the swatches folder that was just created;
The icon to the left of the New Colour Group icon shoudl change into Edit or Apply Color Group, a colour wheel icon. Click that;
In the ...

Set the blend mode of the magenta layer from 'Normal' to 'Multiply' and its opacity back to 100%. This will cause the colour values of both layers to be added together, resulting in a bright red. You can find blend modes in the Layers palette, right next to the Opacity.
Do note that blend modes work differently depending on your document's colour mode (...

Another method that may be of interest to more advanced users would be through channel activation/de-activation.
In CMYK if you have a layer 100% Yellow and another layer 100% Magenta on top of it you could go into the Blending options of the Magenta layer and deactivate the Yellow Channel for perfect mixing.
Likewise if the Yellow was on top you could turn ...

This is because the colour overlay's blending mode (or any layer effect's) is a standard Normal. It's rather counterintuitive, but that Normal does not obey the layer's owen blending mode. The overlay you see is therefore a regular red with blending mode Normal.
You can fix this by going into the layer effects dialog box and changing the effect's blending ...

I'd say it's probably a waste of time and not worth the effort. The top image is such poor quality that it's unusable anyway.
Instead, just find a white painted wood panel (or take a photo of one), paste it as a new layer on top of your texture layer, and set the layer blending mode to multiply.

The difference is the way two these modes behave when a layer isn't fully opaque. Linear Dodge behaves as lowering Opacity in Photoshop, while Add behaves as lowering Fill. I believe they're separated in AE because there's no Fill parameter in it. I think it's the same for Color Dodge/Classic Color Dodge and Color Burn/Classic Color Burn

This is not possible using the Difference Blend Mode with your chosen background color (#333333).
The math formula for the difference blend mode is (B-A). B is the background color and A is the foreground color.The result will always be a positive number (disregard the negative).
In RGB your background color (#333333) is 51,51,51- Your foreground color (#...

Blending modes work fundamentally different in CMYK vs RGB.
This is basically down to the different ways that each color mode works and is why you see the difference. There is more in-depth discussion on the issue in this previous Q&A:
Is CMYK mode not ideal for designs with blending mode?
The reason it is always printing as you see it in CMYK is ...

You can use the blend tool.
Go to Object>Blend>Blend Options
Then from the drop down list select Specified Steps and then in the adjacent cell type 1.
Then on the left panel choose blend tool
Then click each object with the two colours, you will get an average of that object's shape and colour.
Then you can use the colour picker to get the desired ...

Select all objects which should be changed and open Edit > Color > Change Color (or something similar, currently I'm working on a german workspace)
Does that the trick for you?

You can simply overlay a texture and then reduce the fill of the texture to get the image to show through. First I create a mask around my image, then I place the texture and reduce its fill.
I encourage you to play around with the blending modes to get different results. Here's an example with the texture desaturated and the mode set to Hard Light.

If layer blending modes aren't doing it for you, or you can't take a new photo, then one possibility is to apply an Exposure Adjustment layer, clip it to the text layer, adjust the exposure to make it darker, then paint in black on the layer mask with a soft edged brush to reveal the area that isn't in the shade.

Blending mode Screen has at least the right direction:
Reduce the opacity to reduce the effect. Insert another identical shape to lighten more
The effect is now better than what's got by inserting only transparent white because this doesn't reduce the colorfulness as much as transparent white. Unfortunately the same highlighter shape cannot be used if there'...

Multiply will give you an ok feel of how dark the colors will get on non-white cardboard. For prepress you can remove the effect. Also with some cardboard colors might bleed a lot, so fine details might get lost. Discuss your preview with your printer to avoid surprises.

First, you should be using overprint preview rather than multiply. Just be sure the overprint settings are correct for each ink.
Second, you don't have to do anything. Just print it and the substrate and ink will do the rest ... again, assuming your overprint settings are correct.

If you're trying to use the multiply layer effect without using CSS then you will have to save as a flattened image and not just saving the individual layer.
So if Layer 2 has the multiply blending mode which goes over Layer 1. Then you will need to save the image with both Layer 1 & 2 showing.

This shortcut works in Illustrator CC on Mac (and PC I'm told) so I hope it works for other versions too. Click on the drop down menu where it says Normal.With your mouse still over Normal just move it slightly and click and the drop down button should show a golden border around it. Once it shows that you can cycle through the blend modes with arrow keys, ...

.svg does not support everything that Illustrator has to offer, unfortunately. It might be wise to actually save your files in the native *.ai format to retain everything you did, and export them as *.svg only if you really need to. And yes, that may mean that you lose some effects in the *.svg.
If you want the *.svg to show identically to the *.ai, you ...

The isolation property creates a new stacking context for the blending modes you have applied, so any child elements will only blend up to the element set to isolate.
In your case you can simply set isolation: isolate; on the SVG itself (since your background is outside of the SVG).
As a quick example take this SVG, which looks something like this (cut ...

It works because Photoshop's adjustment layers are in essence a non destructive copy of the layers below. Then by changing the layer mode to multiply, you are basically multiplying the image with itself. It's quite a neat trick especially if you want to employ a non-destructive work flow.
This also works with other adjustment layers where you make no layer ...

If you want to reblend in Photoshop the merged layer and the original background to recreate the original foreground layer and use normal 8 bit colors, the answer is "It's not possible"
But 16 bit colors have the needed headroom. The following image has a foreground which is only one color and varying opacity. The image mode is 16 bit RGB.
Probably you ...

Inkscape is an RGB application, designed for making SVGs and graphics for display on the web in web browsers, which also use RGB colours, as do computer screens.
Crayon colours (and paint/inks) use a subtractive colour system, they work by absorbing and reflecting light, so they don't work the same as RGB colour which is an additive colour system which ...

In addition to Billy Kerr's method, you can also combine the two layers in a smart object and select Layer > Smart Objects > Stack Mode > Minimum. No painting is necessary this way and you don't have to worry about random spectral highlights.
Again you lose some contrast, but adjusting the levels was enough to take care of it.
If you do this again,...
