Unable to Blend Image?

When using the Image Blender Canva app, it's important to understand the difference between graphics and images within Canva.

What the Image Blender App Does:

• The Image Blender app allows you to seamlessly blend images, offering effects like linear, radial, or different blend modes,

• However, the app only works with photos/images — not with graphics.

Understanding the Difference Between Graphics and Images in Canva:

• Images/Photos: These are raster-based files (like JPG or PNG) that the Image Blender app can process.

• Graphics: These are vector-based elements (like SVGs or Canva-specific graphic elements) that the app cannot blend directly.

How to Tell if You Selected a Graphic:

• The Image Blender app has an automatic detection feature. If the "Blend Selected Image" button is disabled, that means you have selected a graphic element rather than an image.

Solutions to Blend a Graphic Element: If you want to blend a graphic, there are two simple workarounds:

1. Save the Graphic as an Image:

   • Download it as a PNG or JPG.

   • Upload the downloaded file back into Canva.

   • Now, the graphic is treated as an image, and you can use the Image Blender app.

2. Find a Similar Element as an Image:

   • Search Canva's photo library for a similar image.

   • Use that image instead of the graphic to achieve the blending effect.
