Hi
Stephen, what happens if you ignore the message and still request for the
export? It should work imo though I'm not that sure the result will match
your expectations. give it a try!

Blended modes might be
http://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/introduction/general_tools.html#blending-modes
Given that it's a setting available in almost all configurable items
(layer, feature, label, print composer items) it'd be hard to point you to
a single and right place.

Regards,
Harrissou
