Change the blending mode of artwork
- Select an object or group (or target
a layer in the Layers panel).
If you
want to change the blending mode of a fill or stroke, select the
object, and then select the fill or stroke in the Appearance panel.
- In
the Transparency panel, choose a blending mode from the pop‑up menu.
You can isolate the blending
mode to a targeted layer or group in order to leave objects beneath
unaffected. To do this, select the target icon to the right of a group
or layer in the Layers panel that contains an object using a blending
mode. In the Transparency panel, select Isolate Blending. (If the
Isolate Blending option isn’t visible, select Show Options from
the Transparency panel menu.)

Group (star and circle) with Isolate Blending option deselected (left)
compared to selected (right)

To select
all objects that use the same blending mode, select an object with
that blending mode, or deselect everything and choose the blending
mode in the Transparency panel. Then choose Select >
Same > Blending Mode.
