New image mode

I'm not sure how possible this is as I'm no programmer... but I propose a new image mode.
Right now, if you seteffect, there's basically nothing you can do to get pass it. Showing a light effect BARELY does anything to show a 'hole' in seteffect, and if you seteffect(0,0,0,1)(pure blackness, no alpha), it wouldn't make a difference at all.

The idea is to add a setimgmode that subtracts from setefffect. This mode would work much like the transparency mode, but it would make 'holes' in seteffect. Because as of now... it's near impossible to do any interesting dark/light effect kind of things.

Here's an attachment of a mock-up of what I mean.
