Helene, if you blend any of your layers using the 'blend modes'  those
transformations will be dramatically effected by a mode conversion. As each
layer mode effects the colors of the pixels beneath it, changing the pixel
information (with a mode change) will change the way the layers blend.  ie:
multiply, overlay, soft light etc...
