A question about blendmode

[nice]

Hello boys and girls!

I'm working on a project that involves the canvas and when you can can see blendmode.
What I want to know why you should use blendmode at all, I want a clear explanation to why it's used as I feel that the wiki dosen't do that (and yes I have read the wiki about blendmode).

Thank you for your patience, I know this might be a simple question but I really want to know why blendmode is there.

Think of blendmode like the blending mode layers have(normal,overlay,hard light,etc) in a image editing program like Gimp or Photoshop.

Only that in this case instead of layers it is global to the love.graphics system and is used in its draw operations.
When you draw something think about in terms of creating another layer above in Photoshop.

Ah thanks for the explanation!
