Live Perspective Layer Bug with duplicated layers
Mabian replied to Marc S.'s topic in Photo V1 Bugs found on Windows
This is still in 1.10.5 it seems (at least on Windows). Duplicating a perspective adjustment bring to totally wrong result.... sad it is still there and makes it a PITA working with perspective fx... I'm sad and a bit frustrated, v1.x development seems stopped and I'm encountering loads of hiccups and buglets on almost everything I do with AP... - Mario -

Hello, thanks it surely helps a lot. A question about gradient...I would like to be proved wrong, but if I understand well you cannot edit a gradient once you created one because it's "printed", right? This is one of the most annoying things in AF, I often change and fine-tune a lot of things and the non destructive approach of many filters and features in AF is awesome in this regard. But for gradients (and perspective?) it doesn't seem the case.... (yet)? Thanks again, will experiment with your suggestions. - Mario

Here is an idea, I'm combining the foreground, two sublayers with motion blur with large offset (250 and 500px), a shadow and a glow; it's getting closer to what I'm after but I'm still not happy about two things mainly: 1) The motion blur expands on both left and right side even though the direction specified is right (0°). I guess this is expected but I'm looking for a unidirectional blurred trail 2) I'd like the right trail more ... well... hazy : now It's too long, I'd like something more ethereal, probably I could get away with a gradient alpha (left = maximum opacity, right = minimum opacity) but I have to understand how to get there.. So, any hint is appreciated. Thanks, Mario

Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask about production techniques that I'm trying to achieve but cannot get to the desired outcome: I'd like to get a very long horizontal only shadow (like a long motion blurred trail) on a text. I've tried shadows and all kinds of blur but either they don't support direction or they don't get to the length I'm trying to reach (around 200 ore more pixels). I also tried stacking multiple blurs but again I'm not happy with the results. Any hint or suggestion on how to get this effect is welcome. Using Affinity Photo 1.9.1. N.B. I know I can type values exceeding the sliders range but that doesn't seem to help much. Thanks in advance!
