# vividLightBlendMode()

A combination of color-burn and color-dodge blend modes.

## Declaration

```swift
class func vividLightBlendMode() -> any CIFilter & CICompositeOperation
```

## Return Value

Return Value The blended image as a CIImage.

## Discussion

Discussion The vivid-light blend mode combines the color-dodge and color-burn blend modes (rescaled so that neutral colors become middle gray). If the input Images values are lighter than middle gray, the filter uses dodge; for darker values, the filter uses burn. The following code sample applies the vivid-light blend mode filter to two images: func vividLightBlendMode(inputImage: CIImage, backgroundImage: CIImage) -> CIImage {     let filter = CIFilter.vividLightBlendMode()     filter.inputImage = inputImage     filter.backgroundImage = backgroundImage     return filter.outputImage! }
