			==How-to: More than 2 layers==

			If you have more than 2 layers (e.g 1 pain + 2 _blend) then you cannot use the above technique of using the ''allow soft selection on unselected patched'' since it would blend the 2 _blend textures.

			*For this one you need to use the 3D-view and RMB on the patches to select the _blend you wish to alpha-blend:

			* now you use the '''Y''' Tool as above but with the ''allow soft selection on unselected patched'' not selected.
