Screen is working.

If you screen over black then you get the lighter upper layer colour

If you screen over transparency there is nothing to blend with so you get the upper layer color

The effect of both the above is you see the upper layer and no lettering

If I add a solid gradient at the bottom of your layer stack you can see the impact of the screen blend

I have the same problem. I see that you have said you wont be able to see the blending modes when scrolling over options on a transparent canvas. However, Im taking a photoshop course and the instructor is able to see the blending modes change with the same transparent background.

Hard to see from the very small layers panel icons, I can only really see what is on the top and bottom layers and have no idea what is on the others, what opacity and mode they are set to and and what colour the text is. From those two layers though it does look like I would expect it to with the Linear Dodge Add blending mode (which is what you have chosen).

Can you post a link to the file and is it just this file you have the issue with or is it with others?
