Hi, I'm a newbie and using GIMP(2.10.36) on Mac for several months. I have a question about Layer Mode: Addition.
According to the official guide, the Addition equation is "The pixel values of the upper and lower layers are added to each other. The resulting image is usually lighter."
So I made my own example to make sure this equation.

1. Top Layer(RGB Red): 227.0
2. Bottom Layer(RGB Red): 53.0
3. Resulting Image(RGB Red): 232.0
As far as I know, the Addition equation would be "E = min((M + I), 255)". According to the equation, "E = min((227.0 + 53.0), 255)" should yield 255. However, I got 232.0 as a result. Why does it happen?
