Works as designed:
In other words, "Darken only" is done by channel, not comparing the general value of the pixel.
To do what you want:
- Put the pattern layer on top
- Layer > Mask > Add layer mask and initialize to "Grayscale copy of layer"
- Threshold the mask (possibly after inverting it)
But then you have to get rid of the compression artifacts in your pattern, because the gray areas are far from uniform.
Quote:Darken only mode compares each component of each pixel in the upper layer with the corresponding one in the lower layer and uses the smaller value in the resulting image. Completely white layers have no effect on the final image and completely black layers result in a black image.
