Hello Affinities!
First, I have to say: I really enjoy using Affinity Photo for "finishing" my landscape photos. Thanks for such a great product.
Yesterday, on my Windows 10 desktop computer, I updated to Affinity Photo 1.7.2.471. I opened a rather complex file and instantly noticed different rendering of the photo. I used an levels adjustment layer and a gaussian blur live filter in a group to create an orton effect. I reduced opacity and I put a masked on the group. While painting with a black brush on the white mask, a checkerboard pattern occured.
I simplified that. A loaded a photo, created an empty pixel above put it in a group and masked the group. Paining the mask leads to the same effect.
There seems to be an bug in masking a group or is this a rendering option I can disable in the preferences?
Thanks and best regards,
Jens
