As the materials pallet does not have a blend mode that's not surprising so
which tool are you trying to use

Are you looking at the Layers palette or the Materials palette? It
helps to use the standard PSP names for things when communicating.

I will guess that you mean the Layers palette. If I guessed wrong,
please disregard the rest of this. Check Image > Image Information
for "Pixel depth/colors." If it is 16 bits/channel, you have run
into one of the not-yet-fully-baked limitations. Image > Decrease
Color Depth to 8 bits/channel to use blend modes.
