Paste FX glitch and SUGGESTION


Recommended Posts

Hello, friends. First of all i want to describe glitch. I have a design with two elements in one group. I make bevel FX adjustments to one of it. Then i copy one element with adjusted FX and then use for my group - Edit/Paste FX command. The settings for bevel FX are changed a lot and overall effect looks completely different. I dont check other FXs - it need to be checked additionally.

SUGGESTION - why not to place Paste FX in drop down commands for the Layer tabs - as on my screenshot? It will be more handy and logical - where you work with FX, adjust, copy and paste them in one window ..... maybe )))

You are pasting an effect from a Curve onto a Group so of course it will appear differently. Try pasting it to the second curve.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Hmm, i don't agree - there is no logic. Even if i'll rasterize Curve layer and then will apply the same FX settings - it will look the same. What the problem to get and put exact the same correct values from one layer to another, even if they are in group? Why the RADIUS from 36px becomes 639,6px and SOFTEN value from 2px becomes 35,5px ? Source FX values are multiplied by the same value in destination layer FX, the value is 17,75 . Look at this - 2*17,75 = 35,5px and 36*17,75=639,6px. What an obstacles (software or hardware) to put 36px as 36px and to put 2px as 2px? I can still enter the requested FX values for the group manually - and it looks like it have to be - the same, as it looks for individual elements in group. The FX engine has the same functionality for group of layers, as for the single layer. It works with group and single layers without any limitations in FX functionality. The FX values must to be transferred from one object to another without any changes/distortions.

I have tried to get a result like yours and I can't. Copy and then Paste FX on any combination of items Groups or otherwise I get the same values applied. It may be that I am running Mac OS and you are on Windows.

I use a Wacom tablet and you are using a Cintiq but I don't think that would matter.

Thank you, for checking it on Mac. It have to work like you are describing - same values applying. It is look like a windows version BUG.

If you haven't already, you might want to post about this on the Windows bug forum and not just here.  You could link back to this one.

It should get attention from the right people a bit faster that way.
