luminosity

What is the PhotoPaint equivalent of a "luminosity blend" in
Photoshop? 
Is there one? Or a work around?

Is there a luminosity mode in objects"

Hunter,

I believe it is in one of your tutorials I found on the net (I'll have 
to check further see if I can run it down), you mention a "luminosity 
blend" in reference to Photoshop...oh yeah, on the "Power of
Ten."

One of the reasons I asked here was because I know you keep tabs on this 
forum.

The "luminosity mode" is in conjunction with Photoshop again and using

layers and sharpening with an unsharp mask as detailed in this tutorial:

Could you point us to an example of what you mean by a "luminosity
blend"? 
Or are you talking about a merge mode? IIRC, what PS calls Luminosity, PP 
calls Lightness. So there is a Lightness merge mode and you can split an 
images channels to HLS which would let you pull out the Lightness channel. 

Hunter,

Oops, sorry the tutorial on the "Power of Ten" is at

Nope, that's not me :)

Interesting article, though. One way I've done some sharpening is running 
High Pass on a layer and then changing its merge mode to Hard Light.
