I'm trying to create a blur gradient, so I:
Duplicated a rasterised image
Added ±65% gaussian blur to the top image
Tried to use the fill tool to create a transparency gradient of the top image
Every time I select the pixel image and pull the fill tool across it, the program hangs solid. I've tried:
Restarting Affinity
Restarting the laptop
Not using the gaussian blur
Changing the image
Anyone have any idea why this is happening and how I can get around it?
p.s. I'm not sure if this is the best way to achieve the affect I'm looking for, so if anyone has any alternative suggestions I'm all ears
p.p.s. The spinning beachball of death does its thing pretty much as soon as my mouse stops on the right-hand side of the image.
