After looking high and low for Script-Fu 3.x layer mode values for writing scripts, I found them in the GIMP Procedure Browser …

… but they weren’t formatted for easy reading. So here they are in a table.

layer mode values: GIMP 3.x

This table lists all 63 GIMP layer mode enums, including the friendly name, code name, integer value, Python enumeration, GEGL nickname and operation. For GIMP 2.10 values, click here.
