[AP] Pixel layer vs image layer - different behaviour w/ blend range and mask

[Imaginary]

I came across a strange behaviour concerning image layers vs. pixel layers. In the attached file there are two groups each with the same layers:

Well, actually there is a little difference between the groups:

in the lower group the bokeh image is an image layer, in the upper group the image layer was rasterized to an pixel layer.
Both bokeh layers have the same blend ranges:

The mask layers in both groups are completely white.

When the mask is switched off, in both groups the resulting images are completely the same. But when the mask is switched on, although as an empty mask it should not have any effect, in the image layer group the resulting image differs from the "unmasked" version.

This looks like a bug to me.
AP behaves as expected when blend ranges are reset.
It looks as if the "white color" of the mask layer has some effect because of the setting in the source layer ranges. Well, only in the image layer group. Strange....

Hi @Imaginary,

Thanks for spotting this. I logged it with our developers.
