[GD-General] Photoshop Blend Modes vs. 3D blend modes

[Troy G. <Tr...@cs...>]

I want to provide a more artist-friendly naming of the various texture blend
modes. There's just something about INVSRCALPHA / SRCALPHA that doesn't
scream out "Normal" blend mode. I figured Photoshop's names for various
blend modes are fairly intuitive (or at least are widely understood by
artists). I realize there aren't equivalents for all of them (at least not
without resorting to a pixel shader), but I'm curious if anyone has a list
of the ones that do map directly? Or in general, artist friendly
descriptions of the standard 3D hardware blend modes?

Thanks,
