Applying a 3D Layer Effect and setting that layer's "fill opacity" to zero will show a black opaque fill instead of the expected transparent fill. The bug only happens with the 3D Layer Effect in particular, the other Layer Effects works fine. In this screenshot I have a very basic setup. A brand new document. Added a simple circle with just a default 3D Layer Effect applied. Upon setting the "Fill opacity" to zero. This is the output: (the fill becomes black but is still opaque) The expected result for setting fill opacity to zero would have been this: (the fill becomes transparent) The above screenshot was faked by using a background image that looks like the checkered texture from a transparent background, but the background isn't actually transparent. This works because the bug only happens when the 3D Layer Effect is on top of a transparent background. If the 3D Layer Effect is on top of a regular opaque layer, then the 3D Layer Effect works just fine as expected. Additionally, any other value for fill opacity from 1% to 99% will look fully opaque as of it were at 100%. It will look just like the first screenshot. All other Layer Effects works just as fine as expected on top of a transparent background. The problem seems to be only with the 3D Layer Effect. For example, here's a screenshot of the same experiment using the Bevel Layer Effect with zero Fill Opacity: (it works as expected, no black opaque fill) Reproduced on both Designer v2.3.0 and Photo v2.3.0 On windows. I've attached a file used above, opacitytest.afdesign where this bug can be observed. opacitytest.afdesign
