AP-

Still there in 2.4.0 beta 2294.

@Serif Info Bot Can confirm. Regression is only in the Luminosity live mask, and only in blur radius. The original bug also affected opacity and the other masks. Have just tried with the three different live masks of 2.4.0.2279.

Thank you! Since you're going to be looking at the Levels code... could I suggest a feature request? Say, something like pressing ALT+2/3/4 to automatically select the channel rather than going into the dropdown?

I remember seeing reported somewhere with a partial fix, but cannot find it now, so not sure if it was reported as a bug or discussed as an issue on the forum, but reporting (again?), as still present in production and beta: Expected behaviour: When adjusting levels sliders in individual RGB or CMYK channels, holding ALT while dragging should show clipping. What actually happens: No clipping is displayed. This works fine in Master. Partial fix: In Master, set black level to non-zero value, 0.001 works. Set white level to 99.999%. Go into any channel now: slide white level or black level sliders while holding ALT. Clipping is now displayed as expected.

Thank you. I wonder if the same mechanism affects the other live masks!

Here's the new bug.

Was investigating possible fixes for Base imaga is a picture with a segment in the top left with a deleted portion, to test the radius blur issue (presumably internally, that might be a desirable thing). While playing with the zoom, the deleted portion of the image reappars. I doubt that would be a desirable outcome, therefore reporting it as a bug.I have not tested in release version, may be present there. I wonder if the mask works on an outdated cached version of the original image, internally applies the cut and somehow displays incorrectly at times. Video to illustrate.

There goes my theory.

Thank you. I thought of a similar thing. Except my fix would be to increase the canvas size, then apply a crop. The blur would then effectively be outside the visible area. Unfortunately these solutions only apply to large areas. And I have discorvered another weird bug while playing with this. :') Will crosslink in a second.

If you apply a live mask to an object in Publisher (and probably also Designer - I have not tried) - it has the desired effect. So I suspect it's the way the live mask in Photo works in a slightly different way with pixel layers than with vectors/objects. I'm not entirely sure anyone who applies a blur to anything would want a prettifying border around it - therefore, why isn't the protect alpha the default behaviour?

Hello. First of all, thank you for fixing the live masks! I was playing with that, and realised the blur radius introduces a border. I know this was something that was noted with the live blur filter, and a work-around was to preserve alpha. There is no such fix, or I am missing it. I would think in 9/10 cases the desired outcome would be to not have the border, so therefore reporting it as a bug.

I am also at a bit of a loss to figure out what else to try.

I just went and played with all the other apps in the suite. They all exhibit this behaviour on my system. Beta and production 2.3.1 versions. Video to illustrate: If you require any other information, happy to try and supply. Screen Recording 2024-01-29 at 14.22.11.mov
