thw Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 The Blur tools currently allow a maximum radius setting of 100 pixel. That is not enough when creating gradients for large photos. A maximum radius of at least 500 pixel, ideally 1000 pixel is needed to create smooth vignettes etc... Thanks for listening.

Staff Justin Posted July 19, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hi thw You can type in values larger than 100 pixels, up to 1024 pixels. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thw Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hi Justin, Just tried this and the higher values have no effect. The Blur is applied up to 100 pixels only, even if I type higher values. Here is what I did: 1. Loaded a ~20MP photo. 2. Created and selected a new pixel layer. 3. Used the Elliptical Marque tool to select a region in the centre of the image covering about 30%. 4. Pressed "Q" (Edit Selection As Layer) 5. Used the Gaussian Blur tool at 100 pixels 6. I then repeated the above typing in 1000 pixels in the Gaussian blur tool The results are identical, i.e. Gaussian Blur is only applied in a 100 pixel area, even when higher values are entered. Am I missing something? Cheers, Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gear maker Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 FYI I tried this in AD and there is a big difference between 100 and 1000. Quote iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) with macOS Sierra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thw Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Thank you for trying this in AD, Gear maker. I should have specified that this is a limitation experienced in Affinity Photo. (Still hoping that I miss something ...) Cheers, Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gear maker Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Sorry, very little experience with AP. Good luck. Quote iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) with macOS Sierra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thw Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thanks guys, the manual entry up to 1024 px is now working in 1.3.5 AP! This is essential to my workflow with layers... Appreciate your hard work making AP better and better! Cheers, Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
